Calling for national service etc. serious question... do you think the response by the public would be different if it were something less pretentious opening up? say, a bookstore or fish and chips shop? |

I don't think the ire of the public is particularly driven by the function of the place that was subject to attack - the whole event was designed for publicity by a group that competently uses the media to further its own agenda, as I outlined earlier. The fact that this establishment has been widely publicised already meant that this was a sure fire print winner. Again, this isn't really about the shop- as absurd and feckless as many may see it - This is theatre, where the shop had a part. |

They probably can't compete with rival entrepreneurs that can sell slightly out of date cereal for just 50 cents a box. |

Mmmm 30 something's in age done on a Sunday for publicity!!! Was this because they had to be at work on Monday. They sound a tad like Gentrified anarchists to me like some on here. Social revolutions via an iPad air. Failed at everything else in their world but successful weekend anarchists (well would have been if they had got in the Cafe!!) but ok via Facebook and what's app!!!!
"Come the day of revolution brother" as the great Marxist Wolfie once chanted

Just as seeing the royals at a rugby match brings out the football hooligan in me, seeing a bearded hipster opening a cereal cafe brings out the class war in me.

Johnny's spot on.
Shoreditch 'gentrified' a while ago and although there are some authentic spots it's largely a pastiche of itself and has been for years. I wonder why these people didn't choose an area like Canning Town, which is a place where locals are currently being turfed out or perhaps anywhere in the south of the borough of Southwark, where again social housing is being taken away for new developments.
This type of protest is just 'student union' style politics, which is incredibly naive.

I was talking to a mate today, he recalled that you'd never go as far down the Hackney Road as Hoxton, too dangerous.....
It's still dangerous, has been for years. All those fuckers on fixed wheel bikes with no brakes, most of them collect urban art in 'folios.
