I also saw the Channel 4 News item on the cereal cafe in Shoreditch http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/12/in-defence-of-the-smug-cereal-cafe-owners-and-the-mugs-who-eat-there/
And I also thought the interviewer was asking inane questions in a bullying way.
He should have had a plate of cold porridge tipped over him.
On a serious note, I suppose what the interviewer was trying to elucidate, in his cack-handed manner, was the way in which an area of London was being colonised by outsiders against the wishes of the local people who feel they are being "swamped".
As someone who comes from an old (genuine) East End family I can sympathise with this view.
