What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

It's not 2011. How many non white, upper-middle class people do you think have moved to Hackney Wick in the last year?

Sadly, 2011 is the latest available ward-level data. But are you really contending that within five years the demographic has changed from 58pc white British to 100pc white British, and from around 49pc white-collar jobs to 100pc?

Edit to add - I'm including 'Associate Professional & Technical' in white-collar jobs, but technically the upper-middle class employment brackets are only 28pc of the workforce in the area. A bit above average, sure, but far from 100pc.

they got any mexicans?

Many upper middle class younger people do 'basic' jobs but live a far more expensive lifestyle subsidised by bank of Mum and Dad though...

So, we're ignoring data and going with your gut feeling, then, is that the story?

"They're all posh twats and trustafarians. And some, I assume, are good people."

I'm taking a wild guess here, but are you a local resident of non-brown complexion with sufficient funds?

I'm sure the area is absolutely rammed with 'hard-working families' but you don't see them because the buggers are working hard. The fashionably unfashionable, however, are highly visible.

I don't live in Hackney Wick, no, although I'm not very far from there. I'm Hispanic, and a second-generation immigrant - does that make me more 'authentic'? The cockneys in the area would probably disagree. But they're white and British so they must be posh twats. Oh, wait...

I agree that the recently arrived are probably particularly visible. And there are questions to be asked about whether there's enough affordable housing in the new developments to maintain the diversity of the ward, and whether the artistic hubs like Vittoria Wharf should be preserved to stop the area being redeveloped into a corporatised monoculture.

But dismissing every single inhabitant of the ward as a posh wanker is just as tedious and ill-founded a prejudice as claiming Brixton is 100pc yardies. It's clearly knee-jerk bollocks.

Indeed. Brixton is all posh wankers now.

;-)

Hackney Wick has a lot of 'traditional' residents, mainly on the Trowbridge Estate. I have no idea what their diversity is, though.

A lot of what people think is Hackney Wick isn't, in fact, Hackney Wick, e.g. Fish Island, which rather surprisingly is Fish Island.

Willier riders too!
