Most people with an ear to the ground should be aware of 'poor doors' by now.
Ian Bone and the anarchists of Class War have made a very public return to the frontline.
Wednesday is fast becoming the best day of the week.
The address One Commercial Street in London's east end is starting to become a hotbed of political protest.
Swing a right outside Aldgate East tube station on any given Wednesday at 6.00 pm and you are likely to become part of a very interesting, very persistent, and very fun street level demonstration against the monstrous policy of communal segregation in London.
Boris Johnson's continuing ideological war against the weak, voiceless, and poor of London has surfaced again recently in the very ugly form of what has been termed 'poor doors'.
Social housing being incorporated into multi-million pound developments but with the added investor-friendly proviso that the poor and less well-off are given separate entrances.
In Commercial street politically or socially inquisitive visitors
are greeted with an example of Cameron's big society...red
in tooth and claw. The utterly intentional attempt by the
property developer Redrow to remove any evidence of its
less-well off social housing tenants from sight and mind.
No grand entrance-way on the main street for these
unfortunates....no chandeliers lighting up the marbled lobby
.... no concierges.
You have to carry on down the road take another right and
then down an alley you'll find the poor doors....next to the
bins.
Now you're getting the idea? One door for the rich....one door
for the poor.
The relentless gentrification and consumerisation of London's
east end (grey sky-scrapers are gold to the capitalists) does
however get stalled in its 'Total Plan' to rid the city of all less
well-off human beings. This is because the government has
a petty bare minimum legislation on social housing.
Just to provide a slim, revolution-quelling reminder
that there are 'other' people who live in London as well as
the rich. But, oh how that must stick in the corporate throat?
Poor Doors.
The term conjures up images of slimy Dickensian-era social
Darwinism and the work house.
So, as the law currently stands miserable property
developers, (worst offenders are naturally the faceless
culture-less sanitized and robotic behemoths like Redrow
and A2dominion) are obliged to build a few homes for poor
people too.
But you can be sure Redrow and the rest will seek any and
every opportunity to do this in a way that marginalizes and
reduces the presence of undesirables who might put off the
all important rich foreign speculators and yuppies. The type
who are currently being allowed to turn places like Croydon
into a fully automated hell on earth.
Didn't the attempts by disaffected Croydon youth in 2011 to
tear the place apart offer any clue as to why the big society
is nothing more than a living nightmare? A lie?
Poor doors as a invention isn't a new thing... but it's certainly
something we can do without in the 21st century.
Cameron's big society is all about evicting east end
mums...allowing churches to set up food banks... spreading
fear of terrorism....promoting race hatred....attacking the
disabled and unemployed whilst at the same time promoting
Westminster thievery, idolising celebrity idiocy and giving
multinational corporations a state of permanent grace where
tax is concerned.
Boris Johnson and those cretinous Eton boys in government
no doubt intend to remove all riff-raff from London's
fashionable centre...maybe just keeping Tesco and Costa
staffed by ill-advantaged people on £2 an hour?
But while we have some sense of common decency about
us, we must all unite to fight this menace.
Creepy pre-election politicians, councillors, liberals and
fascist experts on 'social cohesion' may attempt to explain
away 'poor doors'. Many have distanced themselves from
the accusations and implications.
Maybe it's a one-off?
Maybe it's something that slipped through the design-stage net?
Maybe it's a cause that Tory and Labour MP's are passionate
about?
yeah, maybe...?
Or just maybe the corporation Redrow in partnership with the
Mayor of London has been caught out attempting
something ideological that has serious ramifications for all of
us???
You can decide for yourself !
Get down to One Commercial Street EC1 and have a look.
The demo which started just a few months ago has quickly
become a party. And last Saturday's extra special gathering
after the Anarchist Bookfair was a good old fashioned
carnival joined by Green activists, communists, and even
Durham Miners.
Hopefully this signals the emergence of solidarity in this
class war cause. The good old fashioned class war. The
state versus the people. The rich versus the poor.
The atmosphere at 'poor doors' is electric, great music,
protest songs...traffic jams and gormless police.
And the sight of the Women's Death Brigade conga stopping
the traffic with their voluminous and infamous 'we must
devastate the avenues of the rich' banner is a sight not
to be missed.
The cry is getting louder......
''one door for all !!!!'
