I have just read the leading story on the DM website regarding an anti capitalist demonstration in London.
I gather the thrust of this was about the gentrification of certain areas in the city. Whilst I fully understand the stance many take on the lack of affordable housing and the living wage. This was something different altogether. A couple of so called "hipsters" have opened a cafe selling bowls of cereal at £4.50 each. 200 or so rabble gathered outside this cafe chucking smoke bombs and the like whilst the terrified customers and staff huddled inside scared witless.
AIBU to think that if the owners have seen a gap in the market for this business and their customers want to spend their money on over priced bowls of cereal then that is their prerogative to do that very thing. This is still a free country!
Those that seek to intimidate a business and it's customers in this way do their cause no good at all.
