Is that what the Facebook page was all about then? Or are you referring to the one post that wasn't even about the protest?
Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

Given that this reading of the event had been exploded before you posted, i think you're being silly. Stupid even.
I note your later suggestion that calling people scum is now equivalent to what you were complaining about. It's not. Grow up.

BRIXTON, LONDON, UK: Scientists develop a new breed of protestor, capable of being both threateningly violent and also useless / middle class / art-school-paid-for-by-parents / dole-sponging-get-a-job simultaneously. "This will save so much time," said Dr Firstname Lastname. "Previously, to criticise a protest you had to identify people as one or the other, but now all those arguments can be used simultaneously. Nobody will ever have to be worried when their stereotypes contradict any more."

Well done. You remember cat good.
From what I remember of Facebook, yes it is, and yes they are.

You continue to ignore the issue at hand: namely what effect it might have hand on the actual subjects of the campaign: the owners and staff of C&F.
So I'll ask again: what does the fact that nothing happened at the end or that there was no riot police on the night got to do with the weeks-long campaign by Yuppies Out and the effect it might have had on the owners and staff of C&F?
Now you might not happen to give a shit about them and be of the opinion that they deserved every minute of worrying they might have gone through, but the point remains that the eventual uneventful outcome does not justify some of the shit posted by YO, and more to the point, C&F had no way of knowing how things were going to turn out until the very moment of their opening night.

Why is that the issue at hand? It's not for me. It's not for others. When exactly did you decide that it was for the rest of us?

No it's not. It relates to the discussion Editor and I started having three pages back.

I don't know how to respond to this idiocy. For idiocy it is. Disagreeing with you is bullying? I can see why disagreeing with more than that you looks like bullying then you clown.Yay! Online bullying FTW

Not bullying me. Bullying the staff and owners of C&F though a deeply fucking unpleasant weeks-long campaign through the Yuppies Out FB page.

Are there any cliches we haven't had here btw?
* Protestors as violent (BULLYING) thugs
* Protestors as useless middle class art school sorts
* Get a job, you couldn't be there if you had a job
* It's not going to do anything, give up, Brixton is already gentrified
* Why don't you protest against X Y or Z who are just as bad
* How can anyone protest about this when there's (A B C) still happening {i.e. "whataboutery"}
* "Your" pub sells champagne and this is all about champagne
* Similarly, what's wrong with cheese?
* Nobody's really being forced out of Brixton anyway, they just sell up and make a profit
* It's a natural process, it's the way of the world etc etc
There must be more. It's 50 pages though, I'm not going through them all right now, give us a bit.

This is a basically insulting corruption of the term "bullying". There are people who are actually bullied in the world, you know, they face aggressive personal attacks on a routine basis, ignored or supported by their social group, rather than have some Facebook aimed in the direction of the company they work for.

No.
People are more distracted and apathetic about things? People are more selfish, that is if it isn't affecting them it doesn't matter? No hope in politics? Or protest?
I don't see the poverty that I remember as a kid however I feel that the country is heading back to that.

I just read this whole thing from the first page..
The only good bits were the photos of delicious cheeses, and even then that was counteracted by knowing I live too far away from these cheeses.
I wonder if they'll open in Auckland. Ponsonby or the Viaduct would be perfect.

Fascist White Family will be down there in a flash, trying to stop another Champagne Holocaust.

No.
Is there some new rule in the urban FAQ that we must only post in agreement with the OP or get the fuck out of here?
And btw FridgeMagnet you missed a few.
*Any protest is valid
*At least someone is doing something
*protestors as rebels/anarchists

Where were they when hundreds of millions of tax dollars were being spent on a boat race held in another hemisphere?
That said, we're coming into spring and the Viaduct is just lovely for a spot of protesting and Veuve Cliquot this time of year

So many particulars. So many questions.

personally I love coming home knackered and laden down with trotlit, and I'm not even joking. It's just nice to have something left of pinochet to read.
