Yeah I understand. I have no issue with people changing their profile picture or sharing pictures of memes if that’s how they chose to pay their respects. This however seemed tacky like ‘very sad about Paris but look at me’ I mean the photo composition has her literally in the foreground with the tower a minor

This guy.

To me a tri colour flag over my selfie just didn’t seem an appropriate way to pay respect to the dead. I understand some people use it to show solidarity and to them it might mean something else so I have no issue with anyone doing it. My issue was more with people using it to get likes. I think a girl on my brothers

I wish people would stop appropriating other peoples tragedies for likes and retweets.

The fact that its called the tory makes me want to vomit.

Dissapointed that this video didn’t have the recipe for her milkshake.

If someone hadn’t beaten you to it..

Yeah but this is selling American cereal. It’s a novelty. Us British people grew up wathing TV where kids eat Lucky Charms and brightly coloured bowls of sugar when all we had was cornflakes or cocopops.
Those cereals have only been available over here for a few years and even in Tesco are about £5 a box.
We have to

Exactly. I earn slightly above minimum wage at £15,000 a year so it’s not like I’m rich. It isn’t outrageous at all in a city were a pint costs at least£5!

Yeah if the object was to draw attention then they certainly achieved that. This cafe got a lot of press when it opened and has a large social media following so they made themselves a target I suppose.
I just feel sorry for the owners, who themselves are working class men from Ireland just trying to make a living. I

Subway here you pay at least £5 for a footlong subway. Going up to £7.

Is that a crime? Whats wrong with being hipster? I’ve actually been to this cafe. It had a mixed bag of clientele and the owners were friendly and the place was more affordable than a lot of the places near by. What Londons real problem is, is a lack of social housing with controlled rents because Thatcher decided at

But these are working people. The owners themselves are working class people who saw an opportunity. What would really help residents would be controlled rents and more social housing. These would be more achievable if big businesses like starbucks (who by the way charge about the same for a cup of coffee) paid their

but when you consider what you actually pay for when you visit a cafe/ restaurant is it really that expensive?
They have rent and employee wages to cover. You pay for the privellage of sitting in there establishment, using their wifi, talking to friends etc..
For London were a cup of tea can easily cost £3 I wouldn’t

The business owners are also working class people trying to make a living though. Why not attack the starbucks around the corner that charges about £3 just for a coffee and doesn’t pay its UK taxes? I’m a working class british person too and £3-£5 isn’t outrageously expensive when you consider what you’re actually

because attacking the independently owned small business is definitely the best way to fight gentrification.

Plus the kardashians don't sexually abuse one another and try to cover it up as far as I'm aware.

Hip hop is the new cool white people genre didn’t you know?

I have seen homeless people be removed from said McDonalds by security (Mcdonalds in uk city centres have security at night to stop drunk people harassing staff)

I once watched a homeless man be escorted out of this particular branch. It was around midnight and the guy came in, we offered to buy him some dinner but the bouncer (McDonalds in UK city centres have security aka bouncers, working inside them at night so that drunk people don’t harass the staff) removed him. We just
