Not my poster! I don't think it really matters in the grand scheme of things anyway.

Might encourage mass window-licking, though.

i don't think so, people would smash the windows to get hold of a snack.

Solidarity from Birmingham

 

[han]

Yeah I'm voting for him.

They had every fucking chance to get involved in the community after they opened. But they did nothing.

They have. Brixtons community spans a wide social spectrum. They can't be everything to everyone. I see the big picture, just never understood the fuss over this one shop.

Anyway, enjoy your day. Lots of photos please!

Solidarity today - looks like a big turnout from the pics I'm seeing.

I agree. One crappy shop selling overpriced cheese does not count for a lot. Seems to me that they and others are an easy target for the first wave of gentrifiers (1WG) who came along in the late 80s and 90s who think they are the voice of Brixton. The true enemy is the council, it has proved itself by its actions. Give full support to the businesses under the arches, full support for Cressingham, and fuck off this scummy New Labour council in the coming elections.

There's been a great turn-out so far and it's brilliant seeing all the threatened estates coming together. Really good mix of people too. There's still hope for Brixton!

Misuse of the apostrophe there, pickers.

LOVELY atmosphere out there. Well done to all involved. Now... ACTION?

Looks great. Well done all from an ex Stockwellite.

Looks great. Well done all from an ex Stockwellite.

Likewise from an ex Brixtoner.

 

[Maharani]

Absolutely lovely atmosphere. Sun's come out too! Message getting across loud and clear.

 

[shifting gears]

Foxtons window well and truly STOVED in

 

[stethoscope]

Suprised they didn't board up for today tbh.

Storming the gates at town hall too.

(Just seen the pics on the other thread now)

Always a particularly articulate way of expressing an opinion. Much as I hate foxtons, I hate mindless reactionism more. These events always descend to this. Makes me ashamed.

Twattor indeed. I am very happy to see Foxton's windows smashed. I did a genuine LOL when I saw the pic.

 

[editor]

I'm more concerned about the permanent damage Foxtons do to communities than them losing a window.
