This is the part I hate about them, probably more than anything else. There is nothing wrong with having wealth or being better off, and then maybe wanting to see that extended to others. Especially if you're actively trying to change something (no matter how stupid). Do you suddenly have to give up on the plight of the poor if you're not actually in poverty? Or does having wealth mean you can actually do more about it.

Why should having a nice home, prevent you from being concerned about the homes of others. Did he knock down the housing in question or evict the people living there? Its a misdirection, point at the 'rich hypocrite' the politics of right wing envy, a hate of those who've done well for themselves (even if they're a hipster c**t) and not forgotten about others worse off.

Am I reading a different headline (I can't be doing with reading the daily mail it just annoys me). The criticism seems to be he lives in a nice house, that was once a block of council flats, and that's somehow his fault?

Sounds more like "look, I know Brick Lane is an absolute dump (albeit with a couple of good curry houses in among a lot of crap ones), but I want it to stay an absolute dump, though I have no desire to actually live there myself, thanks all the same, because it's a dump". It's almost like habitat preservation - they can hire David Attenborough to go to brick lane and make a Planet Earth episode focusing on the poor in their natural habitat. I don't give a monkeys, personally, where he lives, he's just a 24 carat d1ckhead!

It is a bit of a joke to protest against gentrification, when you're doing it yourself. Which he is.

I don't. Reading was a f**king s**thole in the 70s and 80s, the gentrification of the 90s turned it around if you ask me. I'd like to see more done to turn s**ty estates and run down areas into nicer places to live, ideally driven by the local community, Council and business rather than corporate entities. The only problem of gentrification is that it raises already ridiculous property prices, and squeezes people out. I'm not even sure what a 'traditional working class establishment' actually is anymore. The trade union club? That said, who the f**k is going to Cereal bars? Sometimes I think I woke up and the world dropped acid while I was asleep.

Yes, totally absurd for an anarchist group to target small individual businesses in an area, even if they're ridiculous absurd. I thought class war had folded but they're back again. Class war were 'anarchists' that missed a very core concept of anarchism, that everyone has to be free to be who they wanted for an anarchist society to even remotely be plausible; their assumption really was that you could push society into being 'just like them' - which essentially meant oppression of any dissent.

Sometimes I think I woke up and the world dropped acid while I was asleep. You're different in having a grasp of reality. Earning good money is considered acceptable only if it's from the state or if you spend it on nothing. A sensible campaign to expose hipsters would've involved inviting the local homeless to eat free cereal outside.
