a gentrification supernova will hit newham (allegedly), an arc of opportunity sweeping down from stratford, through canning town and out towards the campus of east seaside towns municipal college. meanwhile former plague pit islands (with former mental hospitals where lobotomies were performed) near venice will be leased out to help pay italy's debts. furthermore despite repeated sightings of the horror even sleepy dunwich appears scheduled for re-molition (like demolition but with a coffee shop). as horsemouth remarked (following benjamin - or was it kracaeur - it was benjamin) -
"even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins.”
horsemouth fumes and rages - by pure chance recently he was drunk in a pub discussing the relevance and usefulness of the term gentrification (glass, hamnett et al), the first drinker did not think gentrification was a very useful term as they found it difficult to pronounce, the second averred that they had never heard the term before today in their lives but, having heard it they thought it might be useful. he has to add that the pub was not in hackney (where the only topic for conversation is the closely related property prices) but the dock tavern near the excel center. however when having left horsemouth turned back to wave goodbye to his fellow drinkers he discovered it was in fact a ruin (having been demolished to make way for a land bank).
