Great post. Couldn't agree more. They're not tough at all they're big softy fakers.what is both interesting and worrying to me about london (or londoners rather) is the often met tendency for a bit of martyrological spicing up of the big city hustle.
no wonder not many are happy, you cannot be with bread of this quality.
I don't want to go back all the way to "why the fuck would you stay on this island with shitty weather?", because that seems rather pointless.
Still, I do get a sense some of this shit they are sitting in - is their own shit.
Londoners are masochists.
They don't want to have right angles nor flat floors in their houses.
They do not fancy warm food, they want the tesco's ploughmans sandwich straight from the fridge and a bag of crisps.
Yes there are a lot of people in this city who are struggling, but I do get a feeling some of the not-so-badly doing ones love to cosplay the struggle and have a wank over it, too.
Even middle class fucking targeted ads refer to the fact that London is tough and oh yes it does take certainly take serious balls to get through a day in this shitter.
Great post. Couldn't agree more. They're not tough at all they're big softy fakers.
I'm a Midwestern mountain man. Everyone here is 6'3" strong Germanic and Scandinavian genetic mixtures, blue eyed too we're all beautiful, strong, we work plows and harvest, huge muscles and lumberjack festivals to show them offI'm not averse to that criticism but then that makes new yorkers squishy donuts, which is worse than being a softy. spilling everywhere.
I would happily sacrifice all of London to keep Istanbul. If the decision were up to me. It doesn't have to be a mutually exclusive thing. But it could be.I'm actually not very patriotic about London, being Turkish and all, I like it exactly for the reasons patriots dislike it.
wetherall, and this is my most unpopular opinion probably, is fucking awful

I've been meaning to start a thread on commodified London, a glossy repackaged version of London street culture with the poverty and desperation airbrushed out. A Shoreditch box park vision of creatives in box fresh Nike Airs, smiling, multiracial, good looking and cool exemplified in my mind by an addidas advert that was inescapable on youtube a few months back and soundtracked by Ms Banks-Chat to Mi Gyal.
yeah right hmmm shoreditch looks like a Nike advert. its full of young healthy optimistic people from all ethnic backgrounds with trendy shoes and money in their pocket.
