1. New Age travellers fascinate me, though they’ve died down since the 1990s. This documentary is about a community near Kew Bridge. I used to live roundabout there, although a few years after their commune was wound up. The area is very liminal.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0iUIv-CsqY0 …

2. There are lots of people living on boats. These people split into two groups: yuppy houseboat owners and hippy houseboats owners (plus a few slum landlord boat owners). It’s a transitional zone w/ lots of new housing & a lot of industrial material sinking back into nothing.

3. If you watch the documentary, you’ll notice that one of the hippies buys into the Rothschild conspiracy theory. It’s here that hippiedom & the hard right intersect, although the hippies would deny any rightist inclinations. Also ties in to Corbyn’s anti-semitism problems.
