East London gentrification

Gentrification happens in every major capital city. Its the way of the world..

I love East London but its been happening there (all over London) for a while - they should have been protesting many years ago? its not new and been happening world wide in all capitals. Locals sell up and move out with a nice profit in the bank and overseas people move in and it becomes a multi cultural city. Its happening in Sydney big time, the last 10 years its changed so quickly - I have seen some dodgy areas become some of the best. Galleries and cafes move quick to these areas as the rent is lower. It's like rinse and repeat through out the city, you will always get young people willing to spend (on their credit card) 5 pound on cereal or $18 on smashed avacado on toast!!, more fool them.

A friend of mine paid $300k for a house in Sydney (a while back), its now worth $1.5m he cant wait to sell to an over seas buyer and move to the sunshine coast - buy a huge house with pool 100m walk to the sand and he'll have $700k in his wallet and retired at 50. We'd all do it given the chance. We did the same 2 years ago sold in Sydney and moved up to QLD, way happier and healthier for the family

Down side is youngsters cant afford to live or buy a place (not even a 1 bed shoe box) in the city so commute times become harder. Problem is apart from China and Japan (who thought ahead). Western countries need fast trains to get to the capitals for commuters. But they aren't doing this (they only talk about it) and the population increases, Australia allows 400k people in every year and most of them want to live in Sydney so commuting will be getting way worse going forward.

At least the Kray twins had the balls to not wear pig masks while intimidating people. Fucking cowards.

" ... Now, the group behind the attack have announced that they will next be opposing the "vile" Jack the Ripper Museum, in Cable Street, on Sunday, October 4.

In a poster advertising the protest, the groups says: "End the war on women now. Stop the glorification of sexual violence."



Joshua Walker, spokesperson for the museum, said in a statement: "I’m disappointed that they [Class War] have planned another attack on the museum – rather than working with us on our mission to tell the stories of the women of the East End and helping us with our upcoming exhibition schedules, charity work, debates and fundraising."

He added: "We do not believe that targeting small local businesses is the answer to protecting the interests of the poorest members of our local community – issues that we are equally passionate about and look to help with our fundraising and charity efforts."

Class War was established in 1983 as a far left political group, originating in Swansea, in Wales. It has since evolved into an anarchist group.

The Cable Street museum has been surrounded by controversy since it opened its doors this summer.

Originally meant to recognise and celebrate the women of East London, the museum now focuses on notorious prostitute serial killer, Jack the Ripper.

The change in subject matter sparked fury in July, as residents who initially supported the women's museum felt duped, with even the architect distancing himself from the new subject matter.

Residents were outraged by the change of topic, with some saying the role of women in history had been "reduced to a red smudge".

Yet museum bosses say they "have not deviated" from their original mission, but have "just changed... [their] primary focus to ensure mass appeal".

A statement from the museum read: "The museum is not a celebration of Jack the Ripper, it does not condone a killer who murdered women, but tells the story of the lives of the women who fell victim to him and his heinous crimes."

The scheme was put forward by former Google diversity chief Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe. He said: "I have spent my entire life campaigning for diversity and equality.

"I utterly deplore violence against women and have actively worked with charities that tackle domestic violence and trafficking of women.

"I intend to work with the community of Tower Hamlets both by supporting local women’s charities, providing employment and training for local people and revitalising the area around Cable Street.”

The Jack the Ripper Museum has been the subject of a number of demonstrations since it opened, but news of the latest protest has been largely condemned on social media, with many questioning the group's choice of target.

The JTR museum is a Nathan barley construct. Does ex head of google shitrags, Mark Permberton Fuckpig-Arschgeiger have any sense of self awareness?

It has legs though - franchise opportunities- the Yorkshire ripper experience, the Shipman merry go round an organic café, Dennis Nielson Sauna and bakery...

I have no problem with the old bill bending the rules a little. I have a friend of mine that is very much into his football violence and have heard a fair few story of how he'd had a dig at coppers over the years. He turned up at work one day with his leg totally black and blue with bruises where he's got a kicking from a couple of coppers and was heading to the solicitors later that day to start legal stuff against them. Twat. If you wanna play the game then don't expect the police not to wanna have a little fun too.

Sure, trap me in here. Thanks a lot.

A world where rapists are idolised and police brutality accepted.
Angry much?

So how do you stand on the illegal filming of the killers of Stephen Lawrence?

Up and down. A lot of people are just down, and slipping further down, though. I reckon that's wh some people are trying to change the world. You f we accepted the practical world most of us would still be picking cabbages...

Don't go down this one please, else you will drag the righteous brothers back in the discussion.

rantastic

Let's all have a big bowl of coco pops and move on. They turn the milk chocolately you know.
