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

[bimble]

And perhaps never will be. So it was pointless mentioning it.

I'm sure LBJ is capable of articulating what he meant himself though.

Is he the one who says "We will protest this economic warfare with a street party" ?

Are we reading the same thread?

 

[pocketscience]

I wonder who's next then.
Rough Trade Records? Well indie!
East London's finest self-facilitating media nodes, half of whom have silly beards, plimsolls and tight primark jeans. Cunts.

 

[Citizen66]

They're upsetting the right people I'll give them that.

 

[bimble]

oh, sorry, you meant jesus. I thought you meant whoever wrote the fuck parade flyer manifesto thing.

 

[Nice one]

Where? Glad to be corrected but you could count the posts I've made about her on one hand. She's not someone I've ever considered a comrade.

and there's only so many times i can say i love ian bone to death.

But he was a former mate wasn't he who you're now highly critical of. Saying things like 'uncomfortable truths' when you used to break bread with him. You'd never find me quaffing with Laurie Penny. Im too privileged.

i think you're being overly optimistic here.

 

[Pickman's model]

You carry on throwing cereals at hipsters, that works too, only I'm not sure what it is supposed to achieve exactly.

would you go more for half bricks next time then?

 

[Pickman's model]

I know it's boring of me but just have this idea that it would be great if the energy & anger was put into something that might actually create a change, instead of just a theatrical show. Like go after the decision-makers, or get some big machines and smash up those anti-homeless spikes that are appearing all over London..

those things have been appearing for 30 years or more, so you've had many years to make some sort of stand about it.

 

[bimble]

yes, i think i'll bugger off now back to my usual thread..

hang on, from a political perspective i have always been critical of class war's m.o, nothing's changed there. I'd happily sit and drink with bone and with jane, (the only two people i know who are in this incarnation of class war), seriously i don't know where you're getting your info from.

The uncomfortable truth is - the likes of upper middle class gentrifiers (i'm thinking here of the likes of pickmans model as the example) being part of the class war dynamic. It's a political truth. Calling them hipsters (or yuppies or toffs) allows all the other posh twats a free pass into class war who can quite happily reference themselves out of equation.

If i saw this women on the street i might even get the idea she's a hipster, with the expensively styled retro hair and everything.
i'll get my coat..

Pickman's model owns the means of production?

 

[Citizen66]

He doesn't even fit into the definition you previously gave where you spoke of people who control the working class in the interests of capital. Unless he's an archive manager I suppose lol.

hmm. not sure how to take this claim being as at no point over the past 12+ years have you ever said anything along these lines to me - and it's not as though you've lacked opportunity. it seems to me that your claim is without any basis in fact, so i would be grateful if you could tell me how i have acted as a gentrifier.

no, the furthest i progressed was archive assistant - not having the archive qualification.

Think you'll find that activists have been pouring quick-set self-levelling concrete on such spikes for at least the last year or so.

Billiard balls filled with ammonia.

 

[cantsin]

posh coffee twats now on the loose in Brick Lane :

Coffee shop bans customers in Ugg boots, labelling them 'slag wellies'

 

[8den]

They should have had their window bricked in for the "no poor people" sign

 

[Pickman's model]

They should have had their window bricked in for the "no poor people" sign

not to mention their elbows and knees smashed to pulp

 

[cantsin]

agreed on both points - proper giving it on twitter as well ...annoying.

 

[The Flying Pig]

Hahaha! cleverdick "slag wellies" ! Well that's what our girls are. It's only posh dickos from the upper echolons who are offended by this stuff.
The rest of us just get on with it and as we don't frequent trendy Shoreditch and Brick Lane we really don't give a toss.

Fuck, this lot could get very trying :

Not a problem. Let us know how your petition goes.

So yeah so I'm happy to inform you that the petition (and other methods) actually worked!
Lambeth Council announced yesterday that they've reversed their decision, having spent months implementing it.
I'm sure you'll be really happy for us
Party on never give up the good fight with your throwing of cocopops , it's obviously achieved loads of meaningful change.

Try really hard ding and you might be able to communicate your thoughts or feelings through words.
