Fuck Gentrification - Join the Fuck Parade...Part 3!

[Citizen66]

Presumably because the interview was taking place the day after channel 4 had had a pop at them for daring to open a cafe in a poor working class area of London.

Someone says they're wc in a newspaper so they must be! It's not much evidence really is it?

 

[Batboy]

Alternative should not include "Throat slitting" as part of its intellectual armoury I feel........

Yeah I know but I was born on a council estate with a single mother... we slit everyones throat that tried to fuck us over....

 

[free spirit]

obviously you must know better than them.

 

[Belushi]

Again, evidence base?

You'll have to take my word for it, but some of the anarchists who were making the most noise on here a decade ago are now following very successful professional careers.

 

[Ax^]

any of them running pop up cafes

 

[Batboy]

It's always instructive to see people remotely guage the sophisticated detail of the socio-economic status and nuanced politics of folk they have never met, on not much evidence, and then cast enourmous know-all judgement on it. The humility of it is also very moving. I wish I could carry that sort of act off.

Lol... I fucking love you! You've nailed it.... I need another glass of wine..... It makes your posts easier to understand

 

[Citizen66]

obviously you must know better than them.

A builder owns a firm. Bricklayers, roofers, labourers etc do the graft. People who own multiple cafes employing others are petit bourgeouis at the very least.

 

[Ax^]

plus one of them was a store manager at superdry

burn them burn the witches

*shakes fist at sky*

Not all business owners stand there with arms folded watching the workers they're exploiting, though

Ok, I can take your word for it. I was here a decade ago and wasn't a noise making anarchist. Neither do I have a successful professional career now. The nature of those careers would be interesting. Perhaps they are rapacious scumbag capitalists or perhaps they are in jobs helping people.

but still from a working class background.

fucking funny this, a self described working class electrician calling another self described working class electrician out for not being working class.

Yep. Petit bourgeois 'work' alongside them.

Many years back a good friend of mine described himself as an anarchist... I replied 'fuck me mate for an anarchist you have a shitload of rules'.. Most anarchists end up with mortgages... and then that wants a better school for their kids.

 

[DotCommunist]

a) why didn't they do x that I approve of? They did Y thing for Z reason!

b) it was dangerous, kids could have died! I would beat them all up

c) They are salt-of-the-earth lads struggling to scrape a living!

d) Did I mention my kids and how hard I am?

etc


Like I say the Estate Agents was a fair target, this one was silly but fuck me listen to the clutching of pearls

I know the same as you do. That he's been described as a 'builder' (business owner) that's an electrician by trade (what he worked as before owning business) that sent two kids to university who now own two cafes in two expensive parts of London (Shoreditch and Camden) that employ people.

Good working class lads.

Muppet.

What about premiership football clubs? No one here wants to answer this!

Bosses seldom do equitable labour.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I think everyone on this thread us silly and the protest was silly and the cereal peddlers are silly, all apparently grownups ffs. Couldn't construct a better distraction if you were a proper money man.

 

[hipipol]

Luck mate

They do in the eyes of many on U75. I have just worked 10 weeks with no pay every day to try and get something new off the ground.

They went to Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education.... the upper class swine.

I doubt they own anything about those cafes beyond the intellectual property, stock and fittings, though most of that would be on credit.

 

[DotCommunist]

you'll have to tie that one in with gentrification? I don't go football but I'm told its all 40 quid tickets and wankers now. (I did go to a kettering match last year but thats so far below the prem its practically sunday league)

They've patented their idea? Or you just mean the trademark?

 

[Gromit]

How did these so called poor people who can't afford £3 cereal bowls afford pig masks and flare n stuff?

|just pulled a 15 hour shift followed by 18 hours on site thursday and friday. Lazy petit bourgeouise twat that I am.

 

[free spirit]

haven't got a clue about what they've done, IP covers any and all of that.

 

[Wolveryeti]

I'm just genuinely curious about what input local people had into the organising/objectives of the protest, and how many from the area targeted were part of this protest, ie what were the channels of communication and who was involved in the decision making

Don't ask searching questions - the Irish twins were obviously scum and class traitors by virtue of daring to run a successful business.

 

[DotCommunist]

now the how hard I graft boasts

thirty years man and boy

 

[stethoscope]

Do I recall a previous thread where boss class Batboy was upset because boss class Jewish syndicates had infiltrated his patch which is bad because Batboy is a fairer form of boss class because of his working class background?!
