- Stella Creasy MP on the gentrification of Walthamstow
Subscribe to the Guardian HERE: bitly.com/UvkFpD
Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, takes us on a tour of her north-east London constituency and shows us how gentrification is affecting the local community. One of the most culturally diverse parts of London, Walthamstow has seen a slow trickle of middle-class newcomers and a somewhat sharper rise in house prices
Hoe street was full of estate agents before Stella Creasy ever thought of gentrification.
I'm pretty sure she's the definition of a 'gentrifier.' Am I wrong?
" Hoe street is dominated by estate agents and letting agents" And YOUR exactly the sort of person they cater for Stella! What part of Walthamstow are you from? MP's claim for their houses/flats and WE pick up the bill. Nice work if you can get it.Did you know that there are around 650 MPs in the house of commons and over 200 of them are landlords.The words POT and KETTLE come to mind.The film is just a bit of PR guff. Just a few soundbites and buzzwords about community. We all know that property prices are way too high and there is a housing crises.The last labour government failed to adress the problem started by Maggie and now this government is carrying on much the same.If your happy with the way things are in your part of the country then just carry on voting for the same.If not,THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.
"You and I can have banter" LOL
"You and I can have banter" like Hitler and Stalin had banter
You don't sound like you're from Walthamstow yourself though...
Don’t need to be. Global scam going on everywhere right now. Time to step up if you want your country back. 🫡
Stella is not a local....she just has political ambitions of grandeur
define local? how many years to you have to live in a area before your a local?
@@visualab born and bred
@@Zeczam you sound like one of those people from a brough in London that has some kind or right over it, like it owes you. People travel in and out of the borough for decades.. In fact humans migrated around this world for hundreds of years.
If you call a place your home then your a local.
Just come appon this video about Walthamstow where the very middle-class Stella Creasy moans about gentrification. You couldn't make it up. So very Guardian.
Creasy is NOT a true Walthamstower....Ask true locals, who care about our community.
Yes - the rental prices are high in Walthamstow, but they are just as high everywhere else. London town is full of estate agents and landlords ripping people off. A lot of Londoners are spending one third or two thirds of their monthly salaries on rent.
the fact is that there were that many estate agents there 25 years ago
True.
These yuppies and rich have replaced the local born and bred Londoners who are all moved out to Essex long time ago, London has become unaffordable it's unfair for many .
Rich white middle classes move in shut the rds n have their own little towns
@lewis mark lets not forget their feelings of entitlement
As Stella sits there drinking her froffy coffee😂
...next door to her office in Orford rd.
Sucks brother.
But this is their narrative. Work from home and do nothing.
Best Convenience Store? Convenient for people with lots of money and NO PRINCIPLES. Their prices are beyond a Joke
doesnt the fact that creasey moved to walthamstow contibute to the gentrification?
Community in walthamstow? Don't make me laugh.
What is she talking about driving people out off Walthamstow ?
You’ve completed your mission love
Most off walthamstow ain’t Walthamstow anymore you have pushed people out over the years
I’m from walthamstow and I get looked funny at while walking through the Walthamstow village so please don’t say things which ain’t true
Don’t worry, Stella. Momentum will soon have you out of there!
Why are so may areas in London being gentrified? These gentrifiers keep talking about diversty and the area being friendly but the new people moving in are ruining things.
+5039452 There are many people who are working their arses off who still can't afford to buy a house let alone rent.
+5039452 Where did I say anything about being punished? I also slaved my arse off at uni but that has not made much difference. The fact is London is becoming too expensive for a lot of people.
as of 2018 the population of Walthamstow is/was 276,700and they all DON'T live in the village (I absolutely hate that phrase)
She’d be fuming now. 300k is a bargain!
325,000 for a property. My lord the prices doubled.
Good video. Walthamstow is a nice place
No.
I had to leave London. Wasn't safe any longer. Could not go out without being sexually assaulted or harrased. By her beloved imports. I miss a English London. What's been done is so wrong. It breaks my heart.
Where did you move to? The whole world is becoming like this.
Other UK cities are not safe and very segregated and racist today like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool there cities are also riddled with crime .
the only labour politician who i'd say engenders hope.
A clever and able woman. I hope her constituents realise how lucky they are to have her as their representative.
Stella is gorgeous.
Lol. The matey with the fat lip that ran the Spar talking about independent shops in the area. It seemed towards the end of the film they were saying the gentrification of Walthamstow wasn't necessarily bad,
My dad owned the Londis on Woodstreet, Walthamstow back in the 80’s and 90’s.
More on such matters here in London's music street
Johnny come lately, Mini Holland Nazi's !
Hi Stella, I saw you at Blogfest on Saturday, you were awesome. I wrote this on the way home, which lead to me finding the above video Gentrification in London
Having met her as a Walthamstow Resident my whole life I can clearly say she really understands Walthamstow and she cares hugely about the communities in Walthamstow, I think she is doing an absolutely amazing job.
She hasn't done anything for Walthamstow. She's a politician, an upper class toff one at that.
another champagne socialist
I'm guessing if she had a working class accent you would be accusing her of the politics of envy.
Very long time Stella ❤💙❤💙👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Walthamstow Evolves.....my home...:-)
I am a trainee journailst making a radio documentary on the rising house prices in walthamstow. With your permisson, I would love to use this clip!
She's right though, slums are much better.
lol so delusional
Good luck to Ms Creasy in her role as advocate for Walthamstow, although her view here is more than a little 'village-centric', so to speak. I'm not sure if it applies to the badlands of Higham Hill or to the other suburbs of Warsaw and Vilnius to be found on her constituency's fringes. I've been doing my best,to lower the tone in and around some of the key tourist destinations, but it's an uphill struggle. Anyway, to business: I haven't eaten for three days, so do you have any spare change?
Slightly hypocritical since you are a toff. 🤣😆
marten road!!!!!
Does my face look smug enough in this ?
Arghhhhhhhh where is she from she's not a londonr i can't stand this ethnic cleansing crap arghhhhh.
London looks like a foreign country within the UK
Didn’t listen to BRIAN!!
Wouldn’t let him finish!!
Didn’t help him only make things worse.
Don’t trust this woman!!!🫡
