I would like to still see an old fashioned view in the city I’m a bit sick of the new blocks everywhere , how can a minority (greedy barstards) have so much power over the majority they are doing more damage than the ww2 bombings .

I am emailing from California, Berkley to be precise. We have been forced out of our homes by the same type of land developers. Your article of the loss of small business, the community, the environmental empact- in terms of human well being- is spot on. Over development is a deplorable pernicious blight to our lovely neighborhoods. But worse than anything is the loss of our homes.

What an amazing offer from this man. It is wonderful to hear that there are still some wealthy people about with such a benevolent nature. I do so hope that Norton Fogate can be saved from the clutches of greedy capitalism.

If this offer is turned down out-of-hand it is confirmation of the politically motivated agenda that Johnson & co espouse. Troels is calling their bluff. Don’t hold your breath.

Can Danish citizens be given knighthoods? Perhaps an honorary one – another dream!

What excellent news! It must be arguable that to go with British Land’s scheme instead would be perverse.

Let us hope that this will be the end of Boris.

I found this in “Lines to a friend visiting America” written in 1867 by George Meredith.

A false majority, by stealth,
Have got her fast, and sway the rod:
A headless tyrant, built of wealth,
The hypocrite, the belly-God.

Just about sums up Boris and his friends to me.

Of the two renderings, I would choose the Spitalfields Trust concept. Still, I hate to see anything of historic or nostalgic value utterly devalued, marginalized, or God forbid, razed.
