You have to be joking, right? So you are saying that it's all fine, because we can just go to Harrods to get quality food?

Nevermind that I hate Harrods and that entire area with a passion. It's a tasteless, glitzy tourist trap.

My post was all about the fact that barring a tiny percentile of people who a) live in an affluent area and b) are willing to pay 2-3x the regular supermarket prices, you cannot get good quality food. And you say "ah it's simples, just go to the most egregiously flashy beacon of division between the rich and poor and you can get good fruit"

Thank you, I can still get good fruit at my local grocer in Wimbledon, because it charges 2-3x over the regular high street prices and there are people around who can pay this. Doesn't help someone living in Croydon and having to go to Tesco, does it now.

Why is appreciation of excellence so often mistaken for ostentation … driving a Rolls or bentley, living in a grand Georgian terrace in Zone 1, enjoying a glass of Romanée at Zuma, or wearing exquisite Italian made cashmere are all examples of exceptional European craftsmanship and heritage. Yet those who enjoy such things are casually labelled by folks like you as flashy, pompous, or glitzy. Why? What is the real objection kind sir ? Croydon (especially east Croydon) is an absolute shit hole .. it’s full of illegal immigrants, and lots of crime and drug users .. they are more likely to appreciate an undercooked McDonald’s chicken tender than fresh organic winter peas from a farm in Wiltshire lol

I'm confused. What exactly is it about these immigrants that make them incapable of appreciating fresh food? I agree that you can enjoy your privilege or money just fine, but do you believe that the poor are incapable or unworthy of appreciating wealth or privilege? They're surely more likely to appreciate the cost-to-calorie ratio.

That’s fine, I’ll help clear the confusion.

See, wholinator number two, the issue with these particular immigrants in Croydon and other parts of the UK is that many of them are here illegally and, therefore, are not entitled to the same rights and treatment as legal immigrants beyond the basic human rights that Great Britain and its taxpayers provide .. Think about it, wholinator number two .. why would I give them fresh organic produce if they are in the country unlawfully? You shouldn’t be barbaric towards people who break the law, but at the same time, you don’t necessarily treat them to the very finest British produce either. Anybody who thinks that’s the right thing to do is borderline crazy, possibly even retarded …
