So, on Saturday there was a huge protest against increasing Gentrification; a primary problem in Britain, or generally the UK is that there are a lot of immigrants that come and live in London and the surrounding areas, so that forces to kick out the people who are already in living in London, and to increase prices on rent and such because there are so many people coming in and needing a place to stay.
But what looked like a peaceful protest then turned into this:
Very infuriated protesters smashed the windows of a Foxton's estate agent building, because they happen to be one of the most expensive estate agents, and also are 'to blame' for housing being put in Jeopardy for so many residents of Brixton.
Overall it was for a good cause, and for people to come together to protest about something so dear to their heart, it shows a level of unity.
I only saw this in pictures on Instagram, but after reading a couple of articles I thought 'Hmm'.
