Thanks to my neighbours at @OneIslington for givin me a platform to speak abt our shared concerns.
These concerns are @ the heart of the fight against #Gentrification by ignorant, deluded & privileged idealists.
Well done to my neighbours at @horrendoushack1 too for their actions
The legacy of inner London is a working class story.. one of shared history, life experience and heritage.
Each community has contributed something unique and rich to our Great city's map & tapestry.

The legacy of the latest influx? #socialcleansing
and #community destruction.
@Dan_Bromley_N @jonburkeUK @lambeth_council @wandbc @NewhamCouncil @TowerHamletsNow @IslingtonBC @RichardWatts01 @mayorofhackney @MayorJohnBiggs @LewishamCouncil
Be very careful about the damage, at best, you have not thought about.

Check Your Privilege.
Well would u look at that.
Hw very mature.
Cllr @jonburkeUK has only gone and blocked me (like he's done to so many others- even his own constituents).

Was it something I said?

Was it rude of me to point out ur operatin from a flawed, ignorant, dangerous & privileged outlook?🤯
What does it say about a man and his convictions. It's clear that he's a zealot but to block me for pointing out that he's ignored/failed to register some vital facts before forming his (uninformed) opinion.. well it doesn't say much about his convictions. It's weak and pathetic.
There IS a social injustice of leavin behind communities, by favourin & investin in already privileged ppl, to the detriment of those historically marginalised, othered & underprivileged.. n for many BaME communities- ghettoised in areas that r nw apparently ripe for the picking.
And you DON'T bring communities with you- by ignoring them and failing to learn or address the existing social injustices against them- that have forced them to develop community support structures and networks for their very survival and to counter decades of government failure.
xpectin everyone to b able to get by and live as u do or would wish to- is not only unbelievable ignorant- but bloody arrogant, self-righteous and is a deluded, flawed, utopian and uninformed idealism. It reeks of white privilege. Sit dwn and back off.
U r no ally. U r an abuser.

See thread.
10 points on #LTNs,
how we deal with reducing pollution in an equitable manner that addresses reality- rather than fantasy and idealism.
What needs to happen to stop this social injustice from continuing. https://twitter.com/Mohammad12akib/status/1361335225809309697?s=19
The issue of #LTNs had 1 silver lining. It awoke so many from our political complacency and highlighted the corruption that is ruining our towns, cities and our country. We like to think we're better than most but our politics is just a bit more discreet in its corruption. 📤💷📥
We've seen what has happened and what needs to change. We all know local ppl who could make the difference, if they wer given the confidence to take on the mainstream parties & if they knew they wouldn't be alone in council chambers.
Let's make the change https://twitter.com/Mohammad12akib/status/1360975036530720768?s=19
@MsFarahLondon is a successful & inspiring Businesswoman.
She is taking on the Westminster sockpuppets, to be a viable alternative with broad appeal
for Londoners to vote in as our Mayor.

I've spoken to Farah about her plans for LDN and she has my vote. https://twitter.com/MsFarahLondon/status/1361669014968270848?s=19

It's not the "messaging" that's devisive- it's the facts of what has happened n is happening.
If that doesn't sit well with u- good! It shouldn't sit well with anyone with a moral compass. Social Cleansing won't spring to mind for those benefitting frm it. https://twitter.com/WelshBrendan2/status/1385933534112649216?s=19
@WelshBrendan2
If u had scrolled up- u would've seen this in this very same thread.

Tell me again about movin for work, about racism and violence.
We've dealt with it all and worse and still the powers that be cater to u and continue to neglect locals.
