you spew rage at the meaninglessness of an indifferent universe.
I get this for free each morning, driving to work through suburban Oxford.

I read a comment on Facebook the other day that the fuckparade protest against Cereal Killer was "like the girl character from 'Common People' screaming at a mirror", which I liked a lot.
because it confirmed your prejudices?
A lot of money came into the east end in the 90s, possibly European grants? and the changes that took place were almost all for the good. However that was before people started getting displaced... (00s onward)
I tend to think mixed income neighbourhoods are at least in theory a good thing. Pricing people out of their childhood home, probably less of a good thing
Well sufi suggested a couple of pages ago that the protest itself was a sort of hipster riot. And don't nobody hate white middle-class people quite like white middle-class people do. It's practically de-rigeur.
I think the new money in the 1990s went hand in hand with a conscious running down of housing estates by local councils.
Some of them are pensioners now, so I wouldn't exactly call them hipsters...
Maybe say more about this
Hackney council always seemed particularly negligent/cynical in that regard though. Huge difference between the facades of council buildings in Hackney vs tower Hamlets next door for instance
