I don't think either side comes out of this well. Rich folk fleeing to their hideaways belies a kind of sociopathic contempt for the plight of their fellow humans, who are indeed often the people they rely on for their livelihood. But then the people from these communities are often quite happy to sell up and pocket the London money being offered them for property, and often also to reap the benefits of ever-increasing numbers of tourists, so it does seem to me a little like some of the people in these communities are trying to have their cake and eat it - and the 'outsiders go home!' attitude being voiced isn't pretty. In other circumstances the left-wing media, Twitter etc. would be screaming blue murder about narrow-minded xenophobia.
