Any proof behind your suggestion?

Edit. I believe the extortionate rent part, it was the second clause I take issue with.

If you want proof you can easily visit anyone of these areas, Brixton, Clapham, tooting, balham, new cross, angel, Dalston, archway, Shoreditch, Whitechapel. Full of young professionals who work in the city, the majority come from midddle class backgrounds from other areas of UK, been through uni, young left leaning corbynites, suffer seriously from white guilt. love the idea of socialism while enjoying the fruits of capatalism.

Usually find them sitting in a jerk chicken fast-food place which would struggle to get half a star on a food hygiene rating, but who cares about food poisoning when you're embracing other cultures.

I understand that, but you said they were protesting about gentrification. Anything to back that up?

The only person mentioned was an artist who lived in the area for 17 years and a mention of a Facebook group.
Nothing about people who have moved into an area recently and complained about gentrification .

Thinking about it, strangely you don't seem to find them in quite nice affluent areas like Wimbledon, Richmond, Dulwich, Twickenham, blackheath. I suppose that's the attraction, a bit of rough. I put it down to the massive influence hip hop has had on popular culture, glorifying crime, single parent families, benefits, poor education, the streets, drugs.
Must be so hard on poor little Catherine from Cheshire, it's just not very cool being middle class is it. Must be why they long for communism.

Hundreds of protesters attacked a cereal cafe in east London on Saturday night, daubing the word “scum” on the shop window and setting fire to an effigy of a police officer.

Riot police were called in to defend the Cereal Killer Cafe in Shoreditch after it was targeted by a large crowd of anti-gentrification activists carrying pigs’ heads and torches.

Maybe re read the article again?

There is so much wrong with this post. In fact. Oh dear. ;

Where are these anti gentrification protesters that cause gentrification you spoke of?

Paying extortionate prices to rent a council flat on a estate before marching around London protesting against gentrification, the irony, you couldn't make it up.

Jimenez, I am not disputing that there were anti gentrification protests at the cereal cafe.
That's not the issue. Told is saying those responsible for gentrification are protesting against it. Nothing in the article backs that up, neither has Rikz.

From the numerous people I have met amd mix with, including friends, friends of friends, different social circles.

you've seen the high proportion of young white people at these marches, with white privilege surely these people ain't affected by gentrification, I'm led to belive it's only poor ethnic minorities. We don't see the old Asian or Caribbean homeowners who came over in the 50's at these marches. They're too busy selling up, getting out of London and laughing all the way to the bank to worry about that new avocado and pulled pork pop up restaurant opening down the road.
