Like I said, it would be interesting to know specifically which ones they are.

Well that's their fuck up then as I have a picture of their gates saying they were open on Mondays!

Seems the easiest solution would be for you to take a look around yourself and see if you can find the ones fitting that description. I can pretty much work out which ones are being referred to.

It seems a bit odd that the commenter is suggesting we support certain businesses but doesn't tell us which ones they are. If it's a matter of supporting whichever ones seem not to be busy at the point in time at which one visits the site, then that seems a little bizarre because then the only criterion for support is unpopularity. And furthermore will probably change according to time of day/week.
But which ones is it that you feel are being referred to?

If it bothers you that much, why not join the Reclaim Brixton Facebook page and ask them directly? I'm not here to speak on their behalf, although I agreed with the spirit of their post (and that's why I thought it was worthy of a repost). You don't have to agree with it of course, but I think it's good to share different viewpoints.
LOL.

"Below the River" sounds like a name invented by someone from North London who scoffed at crossing said river prior to about 2010.
Interesting though that they describe it as

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
The first time I went there was a security guard (uniformed) hovering outside looking fairly bored.
The second time a was a security guard (uniformed) inside the entrance way, observing and making notes on a clipboard (as in looking around, writing a bit, looking around, writing a bit).
Perhaps the second one has a sideline in food blogging...

Please keep all personal comments off this forum or you will be warned. Same applies to others attempting to use more 'clever' means of attacking posters.you get more tired and transparent as time goes on

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Also, if everyone follows the instruction of supporting unpopular businesses, they will become popular and no longer be worthy of support.
I'm beginning to think that the commenter hasn't thought this through.
(He did see the irony.)

I would have thought that their meaning was rather obvious, but there you go.

Hi. No need for you to add anything at all on this matter. I'm trying (hard) to keep this thread on topic in amongst all the sniping and digs.

This is a pretty measured piece:

editor on your us travels did you ever visit a place called dekalb market in Brooklyn ? Pop Brixton reminds me of that venture.
Also built of shipping containers, dekalb market was a flea market/hipster hang out in vibrant edgy Brooklyn that opened in July 2011 to much fanfare and plaudits. However, despite stating to business owners that the site would be available for at least five years, construction on the site started less than 15 months later. Business owners reported leases were being extended even in the few months prior to the site closing.
Whilst many other sites were rumoured to be market's new home, as far as I can tell it never relocated and shut for good in September 2012. The new development is meant to be having a large indoor market Hall for version 2 of the market, but many are unconvinced.

This seemed a bit pretentious I thought

But given the amount of hype and PR that's been sent its way, I was surprised to see it so incredibly empty. It's not like everywhere was equally empty: both Kaff and the Queen's head were really busy last night.
I am in spite of living in Brixton for thirty five years.

I think it's quite a struggle for small businesses to stay open seven days a week. That equates to no (family) life. At the q and a P Castaing mentioned they'd withheld a licence because the (female) business applicant had a young family. Personally I don't think that's ok.

That's discrimination according to the equality act 2010 iirc.
