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

[Mr Moose]

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!

After a good night protesting £2.50 cereal folk need a place to retire to where they can spend £5 per pint moaning about it.

 

[kabbes]

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.

Utterly irrelevant question but: what the hell cereal is £2 for a 585g box?

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

Its about 100 meters from the cereal shop. Its not a city pub. Its another symbol of gentrification in that area. Its was built in 1816, The original Crown & Shuttle served East London’s residents right up to 2001.


"Hot on the heels of Bethnal Green Road’s Well & Bucket <link?> comes another sexy revamped East End boozer – this time it’s the turn of The Crown & Shuttle. <link?> <link?>Originally buit in 1816, the Crown & Shuttle served East London’s residents right up to 2001 in various guises. Boarded up in 2001, it has since formed a part of that stretch of no man’s land between The City and Shoreditch (near that weird outdoor golf centre), but all that is about to change. <link?> <link?>With a bare brick interior and old-fashioned benches that nod to the venue’s illustrious past, this new hot spot will soon become a destination for craft beers, good food and good times. A relaxed atmosphere will gladly attract more Shoreditch hipsters than City bankers. At the back there’s a glorious beer garden and the Shuttle Bus kitchen serves pulled pork rolls amongst other delights. <link?> <link?>Craft beers flow from the new pumps and an extensive wine list will have locals watering at the mouth – as will the posh sausage rolls served as bar snacks. Delicious. - See more at: The Crown & Shuttle - Just Opened London"

Looks even more "urban" and "edgy" now. Probably done them a favor.

I like the way they've got a 5 star hygiene rating..... I don't know how the fuck you'd get anything less when you're only selling bowls of cereal and toast

 

[cesare]

Pity the Ripper Museum protest wasn't as effective (fucking thing was open last time I walked past).

you could dip your todger in the milk before the customer gets the bowl.

Thats far too simple for hipsters, they'd want to use bellend cheese to cultivate bacteria to make an in house speciality milk or something.

no chance of a reply to my question i see.

I just dont get your point - there 1000's of "symbols of gentrification " in the area, are you saying they should protests against / attack all of them ? None of them ?

When it said "continued below" I thought it was an apposite and passing reference to Private Eye's continued page 74. But no. It actually did

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

Why are they gentrifiers? Because they've got beards? Because they're 'hipsters'?

 

[stethoscope]

Christ almighty

 

[cesare]

Aye

One by one, many of the working class quarters have been invaded by the middle class - upper and lower ... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the working class occupiers are displaced and the whole social social character of the district is changed

they are gentrifiers because they are gentrifying as per ruth glass's definition. and why should we accept her definition? because she invented the term.

sounds to me like you've headed the ball into your own net once too often for you to follow a reasoned argument.

 

[chilango]

For the first time ever a uniquely Urban row emerged blinking and dazed into my everyday life.

We don't often talk "politics" at work. Even the revelation that Prime Minister, David Cameron, fucked a dead pig in the mouth didn't warrant a mention.

Yet, today, around the lunch table someone asked me "Did you hear about that cereal cafe that attacked?"

They really did.

Normally when I make these kinda posts I'm being sarcastic to highlight the irrelevance of the spat.

But, no, today someone really did bring up the attack on the cereal cafe.

Naturally, I declined to offer much comment...

 

[Dowie]

what makes those cafe owners middle class and other food establishment owners in the area not middle class?

 

[Pickman's model]

what other food establishments have you in mind?
