It’s part of the reason he says the jobs as “actors and musicians and journalists” are going to the “f—ing middle classes.” The cost of the capital doesn’t help. “I’ve moved out to Leyton and the kids have moved out there too because they couldn’t afford to live where they were brought up. I think that’s a universal thing for working-class people. I worry about the centre of London. When you think about everything that was going on when I was young – there were clubs, railway arches, raves, squats. There was room to manoeuvre. Now there ain’t. It’s all about money.
