I can't believe that video only has 5 thumbs down.
It says banned forever on the Banlist.

It's until the 'points' expire. Please take this to the feedback forum for any further discussion.

I repeat what I said on facebook.
How is "Pop" a "hub of creativity"? When did selling food, drink and clothes - which is what was shown in as much of the film as I could bear to watch - qualify as "creative"?
It used to be plain old "retail."

The video sucks dogs cocks. Anyone who calls people "cool dudes" should be met with violence, but the venue looks good.
Particularly like the look of that chippy.

I really don't think the video is aimed at a load of middle aged moaning fuckers on the Internet.
It annoyed the crap out of me but the place looks OK if you are of the young and disposable incomed persuasion.

No, it's aimed at a load of naive imbeciles. Anyone that thinks that video has sold the place needs their brains checking.

I couldn't get past "so you're re-inventing fish and chips".
Do you feel that Shoreditch Boxpark is a bit too intimidating and local? Come to Pop Brixton! A much more welcoming bubble!

How the fuck do you reinvent fish and chips!? I've heard it all now. I think he was just rambling on before he engaged his brains.

Got through half of this early this morning. Is it a joke? Was the guy actually taking the piss out of it? A parody?
There is a place in SE1 in Paradise Walk, near St Thomas hospital where they have done this properly. I did take photos of it. Its an old restored building with cafe/arts centre, studio space and some really well designed use of containers. Makes Pop Brixton look amateurish. Plus an urban farm they are working on.
Here is the nice cafe

The more cynical may wonder if the amount of people visiting this establishment and paying in Brixton Pounds is likely to reach double figures in a week, or a month, But - hey! - good job on spreading the PR!Can't say fairer than that
Another super local firm too!

I have to admit that I harbour an intense indifference to the whole container thing;having passed them by in East London and been subjected to the hyperbole, I was underwhelmed by the idea of the epidemic spreading here.
The recent posts on this thread have done little to change my opinion. Saying that, I am saddened by the aggression towards NZ wine girl, who I don't think has done anything to merit it. I am also really pleased to hear that the lovely couple that do tapas outside Craft have now got their own place (they have been threatening to bugger off to Brockley for months). I'm told the ramen people next door also have a tin box to call their own.
Much as I dislike the concept, I like these people and I'm glad they will be staying around.

What aggression has been displayed to the female owner? Where?

Oh, c'mon ed; folks have been moany about her for a while. I'm sure you and I have discussed this before, but I'm not going to search the forums to make a point. She's come here, she's setting up a business, and I'm sure it will be cheaper to employ locals who pay tax and feed back into the local economy than to employ tax exiles

I can see exactly why people make take umbrage at a New Zealand wine importing business setting up shop in what was supposed to be a local, community-based 'green' initiative, but I can't say I've seen much "aggression" towards the owner at all.
