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

I didn't - I suggested that you're likely find bankers in these curry houses
you don't know what you said, do you.
based on what? you don't think there are students in there? I'd bet there are more bankers & estate agents in the curry houses on a Friday night.
just fuck off, you don't know what you're arguing, you have no interest in what you're arguing and your posts contradict one another. time for you to sign off perhaps.
 
you don't know what you said, do you.

perhaps you need to re-read the post

estate agents would seem to do more to enable gentrification that independent cafe owners...

no students aren't, as far as I'm aware, usually 'gentrifiers' though you'll likely find some in that sort of cafe... just as you'll likely find bankers in brick lane's curry houses

the only comment about cafe owners there is in relation to estate agents doing more than them to enable gentrification...

perhaps you need to calm down and read properly...

you can't justify the attack so you get angry.. then confused... then throw around insults - maybe time for you to sign off

i don't see why i should be riled up just so i can calm down. you don't know what you're saying in posts, you've no fucking idea why in 796 you said there were more bankers and estate agents in curry houses on a friday night - or what the more was than :rolleyes:

time for you to quit, my auld china, while it's only people on this thread think you're a cunt.

no you just didn't read the post properly

I didn't say there were 'more' I said 'you'll likely find bankers in brick lane's curry houses' - go back to the post an re-read it instead of getting worked up over your own error
 
but what you said (as i say, post 796)
more than what? you don't know!


that was in reply to your claim that:

'people who visit the cereal cafe almost with exception gentrifiers.'

I'd bet that there are more bankers and estate agents in the curry houses on a Friday night.

I'd also bet that you'll find plenty of students in the cereal cafe.

so when you say 'more' you don't know what you mean: more than what?

don't bother answering, life's to short to waste with oxygen thieves like you.

it was in direct reply to your comment about the customers of the cafe! :facepalm:

there are likely more bankers and estate agents in the curry houses of brick lane than the cereal cafe... you thick cunt

but that's utterly irrelevant. it has nothing to do with and nothing to add to the thread - in fact nothing you've "contributed" is of any use towards advancing anyone's understanding of gentrification or the whys and wherefores of the collision with this cafe on saturday. all you've done on this thread is demand answers which in the main have already been given.
 
it was in reply but makes no sense as a reply

it makes plenty of sense if you consider bankers and estate agents to be gentrifiers... but you don't seem to apparently

yet you're happy to argue over an attack on a small business

perhaps I should have just pointed out that you'll likely find more gentrifiers in the curry houses of brick lane on a Friday night, since bankers and estate agents seem to be OK by you...

i don't know why you bother since you plainly don't read the posts to which you affect to reply.

ironically you spent several posts getting in a huff because you didn't read a post properly...

and you still can't justify why this cafe in particular deserved being targeted above the other food places and bars on the same street

i can. but i think you'll find all the answers you seek on the cereal cafe thread - why not troll there for a bit, you auld div.
 
The problem with the cereal cafe is not the markup, which is fairly typical for ingredients. It is not the ease of production -- making tea and putting wholesale cake on a plate is no harder. It is not even the facial hair. No, the problem if the cereal cafe is one of crimes against Epicureanism. Cereal is a very poor quality foodstuff. It's useful when you need to eat breakfast in 5 minutes but to have it by choice reflects poorly on one's character.

That is why it should have been firebombed, the ground salted and the site nuked from orbit to make sure.
 
two working class guys from Belfast set up an unusual food business which attracts media attention - they've got beards and fit a particular stereotype so are now legitimate targets...

but if they'd set up say a kebab shop or fried chicken place which didn't get media attention and didn't look/dress like 'hipsters' they'd be OK?

it does seem like 'simple stuff' - like I said before tis just a case of they look like the people we don't like lets attack it...

I really don't get it either, it's lame. They need to keep up. Brick Lane has been a tourist trap for at least a decade. And do we honestly think locals would give a fuck about eating in a novelty restaurant which appeals to tourists, (because this is what it is, they've opened in Camden too, say no more.) Isn't this all very much stable door after the horse has bolted? Shouldn't they be firebombing Dalston instead?

Heygate in Elephant, or something else that is actually ripping communities apart?

Or is attacking the easiest target you can find the most effective way to make your point?

It is the most effective way to do something without being arrested, I guess.
 
Yeah, it was the £2 that brought me up short. Being on special makes sense though.

Of course, yer average teabag costs about 3p, so anyone selling a cup of tea for a pound is making a 30x markup -- even more extortionate!

Or maybe there are other expenses involved too?

I paid £1.20 for a bag of chips from my local chippy the other night. Then a friend told me that they were just bits of potatoes fried in oil. I was furious. There could only have been about 20p's worth of potato and the oil must have cost pennies. No wonder the owner drives a G-reg Nissan Mick Jones, Liverpool
