Interesting:

Between 2001 and 2011, the “white British” population of London fell by 620,000, even as the population of London overall swelled. Every single London borough registered a decrease in its white-British population—in some, it was stark: Newham, in east London, lost 38% of its white-British people.

Yet look at ward level data, and it is clear that a few places buck the trend. Brixton Hill increased its white-British population between 2001 and 2011. So too did large parts of Hackney, Islington, Wandsworth and Camden. In Stoke Newington and Dalston—both parts of Hackney which have gentrified faster than anywhere—the white British population leapt up by 15% and 26% respectively.

People who bought under right-to-buy are selling up and moving to Essex, the people who are moving in are racially diverse, this being London, but nowhere near to the same degree as before. House prices and the benefit cuts will exacerbate this demographic shift, I reckon. Just look at the appalling fart-knockers the new Olympic Park flats are aimed at:

9.5 /10 for fart knocker. Top drawer.

Lies! They've not even seen it yet, cos they're sold old skool back in the day etc.

Ah, I missed your future tense.

It's getting there, slowly. Sill a fair bit to do but with any luck we'll have two rooms actually finished by the end of the week, apart from the floor!

What's done looks good though.

Any of you lovely brixton types fancy giving me a hand picking up a table from East / West Dulwich this weekend? Sat afternoon / any time sunday.

My usual stalwart Corny may not be around.

Can pay in beers etc. and cover the SVan costs obvs.

Corny has come to the rescue.

In other curtain twitching news - the staff at the ritzy are going on strike to get the London Living Wage.

good!

even though they never returned my emails about a gig and starting up a new night upstairs there.

actually, fuck em.

and their projector keeps breaking. fuck em indeed!

@snowy can the daddy wagon be of use?

Does it deliver snooker balls in socks?

Anyone got an angle grinder for horatio? I broke a key in his lock last night, need to free the bike...

Dick!

How's the cat? I want the cat...
