i applied for a job at the cheese shop in covent garden about 15 years agoNever underestimate the smell of chaumes in an enclosed space
interview went "whats your favourite cheese" - er stilton? (not that into cheese, but that was the correct answer)
"can you handle the stink of cheese all day long" - yes i love it (more lies)
it does stink right up the street its true

Having had a look at the Facebook page I'm more tempted to head to Champers and Cheesey-pops for a couple of glasses of the demon fizz, but in reality I'm heading to a pub to watch the football.

isnt the market covered?

Yes. But the protest is planned to be outside on public land - not on private property from which they can be excluded.

you cant stop people from going inside the market though - how else can we get our bubble on (or whatever the fuck it is)??

The police or the owners can close the whole place down like they did last year during Splash. Making every small business owner suffer. I appreciate that some will think that's just super.

what kind of action would it take to close it down? Peaceful dairylea eating?
if that happens you cant blame peaceful protesters - its just the insanity of private public spaces and their management.

But that's not what happened or what people were objecting to in relation to Carlton Mansions.
The co-op appeared to be working with the council towards a peaceful, planned departure some time 1-2yrs away. Then they were landed with the fire safety report and the swift injunction. Throughout the court hearings the council and their lawyers were accused of being aggressive and ruthless. The coop called "foul" and people agreed. The council appeared to be acting deceptively and were indifferent as to the personal suffering they were causing. Even though no eviction took place, they were being aggressive bullies and this galvanised support from all quarters including people with a wide range of views of short life and squatting. I was pleased to be a small part of the voice which would not stand for that.
Unfortunately, some of those who called foul seem to think threats and bullying are fine - just as long as they aren't targeted at them.

Like I said, it's organised for outside, not in the market. You asked how people could be stopped from going inside. The answer I gave was that the place could be easily closed down if necessary as has happened in the past. I'm not expressing opinion there.
As for what kind of action could close it down - last time it was closed down based on no action - just safety concerns.

Have to say the staff didn't look particularly threatened, bullied or concerned about anything much at all when I passed the place.
This is nothing more than a symbolic gesture to say that not everyone enjoys seeing this kind of lifestyle being flaunted in an area where real social deprivation exists.
What will it achieve? Probably nothing more than a discussion and a debate. It might also perhaps send a message to relevant parties that this is a discussion that needs to be had, and while I'm sure some people will simply love visiting the Village and grazing on fromage and champers, massive social inequality exists in the area, some of it a mere stroll across the road.
