Just a bunch of thugs out looking for an excuse to vandalise something and picked on the cereal guys because they are a bit new.
Certainly the point IMO.
Having been around “this place” for a few years now, certainly in the last 3 years that Brick Lane place has changed dramatically… for the better.
It really used to be one grotty street with a few shonky clothes stores and about 40 curry houses, all with blokes hanging around outside and harassing you to go in.. bloody horrible, certainly not “trendy”.
As the whole of the area became the place to be and hang out, pop-ups appeared in run down low rent closed down shops and voila! trendy place… Property shot up in value, the chain stores have moved in and it’s all going the way of a trendy village theme, almost a parody of itself.
I’m rather glad TBH. Folks taking care and pride in where they live and how they decide to work, looks far cleaner, tidier, more bloody civilized.
And so a bunch of drunken tossers, not even locals, start a fight with a vendor selling cereal…
You really couldn’t make this thing up.
