This has nothing to do with your views. It has to do with your approximation of an Irish accent.
You've said before that you're embracing the Irish spirit and culture, and that one of the ways you're doing it is by writing in a way that reads like an Irish accent. I agree that some of your phonetic constructs do this, but many of them are just gibberish. I don't imagine you'll find many people in Ireland that pronounce "animals" as "an-oy-mals," "profitable" would not often "prof-oyt-able," and "renting" I hope would never be "rent-oyng" (that, to me, is how your words in this post "sound" when I read them). That's just farce.
I'm not asking you to stop. I just don't understand why you're going to such great lengths to make your writing unpleasant to read. Some people seem to invest a large amount of energy in making their writing a chore to read. It makes me wonder why they bother writing if they want to discourage others from considering the words.so rents aren't profoitable category? maybe Sam Walton took the fortune from rentoing and founded next chain of profoits called Walmart
There are a lot of causes for neighborhood gentrification. It's a stretch to blame higher rent on "corporate society" though.
If your point is that people are preferring to shop at chain stores and malls rather than independent music shops, and that this general trend toward centralized corporate management is responsible for Rock On closing, then OK. Now your "victim of corporate society" comment makes sense. That's not what Philip said though. He said that the owner was unable to keep pace with the increased rents that resulted from the neighborhood becoming "yuppiefied."
Well, yes. But it would be disingenuous to pretend that the rent escalation had nothing to do with the aggressive spread of corporate retail, both American and British, in the neighbourhood. Where there are yuppies, there are shops for yuppies, where there are shops for yuppies, there are yuppies. The character of the Camden Town area faced an inevitable decline into homogenization once the television media (TV AM then MTV) moved in.
