> "Empower traders" = "Kick them out".

> "Sustainable future" = "Nowhere to go".

> "Financial support and guidance" = "Good luck, you're on your own".

no no > "Unlock the huge potential" = "We have big money with big self serving plans coming in."

tldr from bsremover too:

Smithfield: Big meat market, been there since 1860s. Billingsgate: Huge fish market, been there since 1327, now moving to make way for homes.

So a real state take over, pretty much?
