Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

[Sir Belchalot]

Must be a stressful time to grow up in for a lot of teenagers. Glad I no longer have to worry when I hear reports of teenagers being stabbed/shot in Hackney since mine turned 20. Grim times but at least it might put the yuppies off Stokey.

it'll take more than that, there's been violence around the area for years and it's still expensive property wise

Of course. There is only so much the white artsy fartsy chattering classes can take....or maybe I am underestimating them, non?

It isn't the white chattering classes who are dying on Hackney's streets. I think it's perverse to hope to profit from an increase in violence.
