We Must Fight The Gentrification Of Our Cities And Defend Our Communities.

Across the country pubs and clubs, gig venues and community centres are being threatened by new developments and residents noise complaints. However ridiculous the idea of someone moving into a flat in a busy area surrounded by pubs and clubs and then complaining about it is in recent years some very well established music venues and bars have been closed for these very reasons. We must ensure the survival of communities and the survival of our community hot spots.

We must fight gentrification with every and any method we have.

Occupy new developments.

Petition and oppose Planning Applications that will threaten existing and well loved establishments.

We cannot lie down. We cannot use their avenues. We must find a voice.

Who's Streets? OUR STREET

I think listening to the climate change part of this program will give you food for thought. The study publish in the new book it refers to suggests that, as Britain will initially come off most lightly climate wise , being surrounded by water and a world center of capitalism, it will be come a desirable destination for the worlds capitalist elite, meanwhile jobs servicing them will be gratefully sort after by itinerant workers trying to escape the devastation in the rest of the world.
I suggest it is much easier to get rid of a population( after all large numbers in other countries will be dieing) with all their demands to have a family life and care in their old age, and use this more malleable work force . Large communities have all ready been split up through housing projects, especially in London, and the economic of being poor rests on having access to extended family, leading to a steady decline in numbers as taking poorly payed work precludes a family life. This will be relevant to all communities living in London and the Islamic community and the white working class should start looking for the real causes of their conflict over territory, and we should stop thinking of all immigrants as being the same. Quite a number of them are the wealthy looking for the best place to carry on business and keep on screwing the poor and expropriating their resources in their native counties.
