Bonjour,
1)
The author is Pauline Pearce, a black woman who lives in Hackney.
2)
I would say that the author is sad about the situation because more and more people can’t afford to stay there.She is revolted and upset because everything is more expensive today .She is not aggressive but as a moderated person, she wants things to change. She has conciliatory skills as she succeeded to shout down rioters nine years ago. She could be a perfect link between the two communities.
3)
Youngsters were rioting a few years ago against gentrification and £5 cappuccinos that they couldn't afford.
4)
She opposes « hipsters » ( « in beards and bobble hats » )that she calls « trendies », white people with money with black people who used to live here.
5)
Hackney has changed a lot. The place is unaffordable today. Youngsters are affected because they have nowhere else to go.
6)
People who have recently been settling in Hackney seem wealthy. Mainly white, rich enough to pay £5 for a cappuccino .They like shopping, going out at night. Their behaviours is not always correct. ( they pee and vomit when they drink too much ).They don’t care about the people who used to live there.
