In fact, it's more likely that it's the ethnic minorities that are more likely effected by gentrification, not the other way around.

er have you ever been to Upton, East Ham, Plaistow or say Forest gate? there aint nothing gentrified about there

So true. Even the Boleyn pub has shut down, or is about to. All the lovely old Victorian pubs are going, Muslims don't tend to spend much time down the pub. And as you quoted Dezzy's post, I maybe should explain that I was using the term ethnic cleansing for effect (that's the proper use of 'effect', for Dezzy's benefit).

just as an example of pushing people out, we have a curry house which was very popular in our high street, the Dad has now passed it to his son who has decided he will no longer serve alcohol....so guess who wont be visiting that establishment now it seems like a bonkers business move but I guess the majority of his patrons dont drink now so he knows he can make this change without impacting his profits

Or you can just save some time and stop pretending you have me on ignore when you have slipped up before and responded to me directly.

A lot of pubs are closing down, people would rather stay in with a bottle or a few cans because it's cheaper. It's not a sign of some hysterical muslimpocalypse.

You weren't using that word for 'effect' (How desperate are you to try and score points against me that you pick up on grammar? GRIM), you were simply using it wrong.
