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

You're going to the wrong posh restaurants then.

I can't imagine pickmans being the posh restaurant type tbh

 

[newbie]

As capitalism is about the means of production, no.

once capital is accumulated someone will find a use for it

I've just looked at their menu, small british cereals are £2.50 a bowl...... of course they don't tell you how much a "small" is.

On the one I've bought, the entire box is 585g divided by 18, meaning each serving is 32.5 grams.

I'd be interesting to see how that compares.

TBH, their coffees seem quite reasonably priced.

 

[Pickman's model]

even more naive to think it is a cafe run by a couple of people with beards

because these footsoldiers of gentrification aren't in fact and contrary to all appearances gentrifiers?

khan's is my idea of a great night out

 

[ffsear]

Plenty of gentrified pubs around that area. Saturday night, full of rugger buggers watching the England game. Thought that would be their ideal target,!!

Would class war attack them? Would they fuck! Don't want people fighting back now do we!

3 Rice Krispies artfully arranged on the corner of a rectangular piece of reclaimed slate, with a dash of yoghurt smeared next to it, pointing towards the middle

£35 plus tip please

I'm going for the price fixe menu, I demand my blueberry.

1 blueberry is included in the price, any additional blueberries are £5 each (plus tip)

why did you think that?

 

[chilango]

Goes to show how muddle headed many people get about class.

A question we would all do well to remind ourselves of is why Marx et al put class at the centre of their analysis?

Craft biscuits

Wood-fired artisanal craft micro biscuits, even.

 

[Johnny Doe]

Craft biscuits

I read that as 'crafty biscuits'. You'd probably have them as dessert after a cheeky Nandos....

I remember when Nandos opened in Stoke Newington, the middle class were in UPROAR about it

Did it open on Church Street?

 

[DotCommunist]

are you sure?

seems to me that if you and I receive the same tokens for the same work, week by week, and I choose to go to the pub of an evening and exchange mine for beer, while you stay at home to dead-head the roses, at the end of our lives you have some beautiful roses and a pile of tokens (to hand to your kids?), and I have a smelly corner in the alley on the way home.

Once that pile is accumulated we are straight into capitalism, as an inevitable result of the token basis of exchange, whether or not I borrow some of it to drink more than I can afford.

As capitalism is about the means of production, and not merely the use/exchange of tokens, no.

ennit, if wealth accumulation alone was capitalism why do we draw the distinction between a feudalism and capitalism

 

[marty21]

yep

 

[cesare]

Did Nandos respond with #hatecrime?

I don't think Nandos took much notice tbf - and there wasn't any protest once they were opened afaik

This is the "capitalism is natural" argument. Load of toss.

Middle class protest is so much more civilised ... none of yer smoke grenade arson with CHILDREN PRESENT in Nandos.

been there, semi City/ office worker pub, as you'd expect in that location, have no idea how you'd think anti gentrification activists, rightly or wrongly, would decide to go and protest / whatever, there - there's prob 50-100 similarly converted pubs in a 2 square mile radius
