    Yes I understand that. What I was suggesting is that the poor people in Tower Hamlets haven't all been displaced, just the people in the Shoreditch triangle, which is tiny in popul…

    As a British person in Sweden I just had a chuckle out loud with my morning coffee reading your comment. Good stuff (I couldn't disagree more but good stuff nonetheless).
