With that exhibition of dismissive stereotyping, a job at the Daily Mail awaits you.

An event called 'Yuppies Out' can't really be complaining about dismissive stereotyping tbf.

I was trying to figure out today what makes a 21st century yuppy? What's the criteria for inclusion into the yuppy fold. Do yuppies call themselves yuppies? Or is just a 'dismissive stereotype' hurled around by yardi-da revolutionaries in the hood? Is there a dress code or a style of yuppy music? Or is it just a wage bracket and a mortgage in a post code of gentrification?
Perhaps I shall use this research to write my first daily mail article.

Not sure if anyone was concerned about terrified shopkeepers but, TBF, I couldn't have blamed the employees of owners of C&F being very worried after looking at the number of 'likes' received by the Yuppies Out FB page.
As it turned out numbers in attendance were low and the protest was indeed good humoured and peaceful. Had most of the many hundreds of people who liked the FB page, instead of 20-odd people who actually attended, shown up outside the place, I think C&F would have had very good reason to be concerned.

Is there an important part of your brain haunting the 414?

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
OK, let's forget about the socioeconomic impact for a moment and take a look at the cheese:
Mimolette, Bleu de Chèvre, Tomme de Brebis and Brillat Savarin.
As noted above, the range is impressive. They are a bit disorganised as you'd expect on day two - there is a French guy called Jerome who really knows his stuff and 3-4 young helpers who are a bit helpless. Apparently the range is broader in Brixton than in Covent Garden, which is mainly a bar. They also have cured meats (mainly saucisson) and chutneys/biscuits etc.
The selection shown above is probably a good 10-12 adult portions and cost £30. It's certainly on a par with Cannon and Cannon and may be less expensive.
I didn't see any Dairylea.

Do their events have a history of violence then?
Not the 414 but various other techno settings around the capital. My family are still waiting for me to come home.

Excellent thread for letting you know who is who and what they are in brixton.
Put your pretentious smelly cheeses away.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that people sympathising with Yuppies Out movement or simply concerned with the gentrification and social cleansing issues are the violent type... But C&F would not know that, and more to the point, it wouldn't be the first time that third parties showed up at an event posted on FB, or at a street demo/ gathering, with ill intentions.
Especially when the event promoted is about targeting a specific business, and the FB page promoting it has less than savoury comments regarding putting bricks through windows or defending Brixton against 'scum'.

That's about the context free size of it isn't it, that's how it appears to people on the other end of those unequal relations i talked about (possibly paid by for by the scrounger bashing BBC public purse). Just choice. Pure choice. Not choice limited by the social relations that an elite benefit from - just choice alone. Jesus christ.
