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

[ViolentPanda]

Interesting. Violence against bearded people. What does that remind me of?

A masturbation fantasy you've had?

 

[ViolentPanda]

They killed Jesus too!

Nope, that was some of us earlier inhabitants of the East End.

Oh, was he saying it reminded him of blood libel. Bit near the mark eh.

 

[no-no]

I'm sorry, but that's patently bollocks. Anyone swayed by such a fleeting and vainglorious event as the smoking-out of a cafe wasn't "on the fence" to start with.



They smashed up an estate agency.

You'd have known that if you weren't talking bollocks!

I know they smashed up some other places, and I take your point about some of the people I know not being quite on the fence. But it still feels like an own goal to me.Unless I'm missing something.

What's the point of the protest? to convince others round to your point of view? To simply create an obstruction to whatever it is you're protesting about? I'm sort of thinking that the point of media coverage is to get the issue discussed publicly and hopefully win over enough of the public that it becomes a large enough issue that politicians are willing to do something about it.

Atttacking the cereal place has def got a lot of media coverage but to what end? Do you reckon peope who are on the fence are being won over? I honestly don't know, looks like preaching to the converted.

have you ever seen ian bone and sir oswald mosley in the same room? i ask you - is that coincidence

 

[fishfinger]

Coming over here and munching your beigels

TBF I haven't got a Scooby what he's saying! I still think it's a wank fantasy of his!

people who are on the fence should have their legs pulled downwards. that'll learn the liberal wankers.

[cesare]

You know who else made the trains run on time? THAT'S RIGHT

 

[krtek a houby]

So, enlighten me, what sort of business should have been there and where should the brothers ply their trade; just so I can fit in with the general consensus.

 

[stethoscope]

I'm not sure running a cafe exclusively selling bowls of cereal really constitutes 'ply a trade'.

you can never fit in with the general consensus because the rest of us can think for ourselves while you rely on being told what to think, as in this example ^^

Or ask to be told what to think so he can think the reverse without thinking about it.

I think that it was wrong to target these guys and I think that Bone and his pals are publicity seeking trolls.

Oh dear.
It's not about any of that. It's about creating a spectacle that gets publicised. The spectacle draws in those interested in the politics, and while you're "woe is me"-ing about motivations, Class War are getting on with the grassroots stuff they do, and planning the next spectacle.

 

[krtek a houby]

It is, rather.

Isn't it interesting when a bunch of middle class white guys can terrorise shop owners and customers and get applauded for it?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Was that lox or salt beef you wanted?

isn't it wonderful how you can, without ever visiting whitechapel, determine the class of people without even questioning them. it's also wonderful how you can determine their sex without ever seeing them.

They won't draw in many, I'll warrant.

I wonder how many people out ther would now like to chuck paint at Bone's place of work?

Bing! You score 1 point. I'm sure that's been debunked too.

 

[fishfinger]

I like 'em all

 

[BlackArab]

If we're playing by the rules of neo-liberals though, and Im not suggesting it always results in something bad for people, they're not necessarily exercising choice either, are they?

Some are, some aren't. My Mother and many others did exercise choice and were more than happy to do. Two sides to every coin.

There were women there, and you don't have the first clue as to their class, so perhaps you should stop laying it on with a trowel, and try a bit of fact-finding?

Isn't it wonderful that you can make assumptions about whether or not I've been to Whitechapel or know anyone from the area.

he doesn't like that.

It doesn't remind anyone of nazis.

Perhaps the publicity seeking Bone and his acolytes should have targetted a bigger place? The cowardly little trolls.

it doesn't matter if you have been to whitechapel in the dim and distant past or indeed at any point. you weren't there on the night so you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
