From Henley to Notting Hill: Class War is on the move again<\/a>

The anti-rich movement has Cameron in its sights, but the warriors’ weapons have lost their edge<\/em><\/p>\n

Next month, on Saturday November 3, a demonstration will head for David Cameron’s house<\/a> in Notting Hill; just possibly, he may be prime minister by then. The postcard from the promoters, Bash the Rich<\/a><\/strong>, has on one side a ragged-looking boy (actually the boy from Ken Loach’s Kes<\/a><\/em>) sticking up two fingers at members of Oxford’s Bullingdon Club<\/a> (young Cameron second from left<\/a>) in their dress shirts and tails. The other side has a picture of Cameron with “parasite”<\/a> across his forehead. There’s a list of what the protest is against, with a cross against gastropubs, swanky brasseries, yuppie lofts, gentrification, posh estate agents, gated communities and Lord Snooty. What does the protest want? A tick marks real boozers, affordable housing and public spaces. “Toffs out!” in big letters. “Old Etonians fuck off!”…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and props to Vents<\/a> for informing the Revolver<\/a> mob about the boycott last night. Now go buy<\/a> his album<\/a>! (Incidentally, this record is available in the foyer. Some of us gotta live as well, y’know… etcetera<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
