It's shite, obvs. It's also nothing to do with Khan, as DT has already pointed out. The leader of Westminster Council is a Tory called Rachel Robathan. You need to change the last option of your poll. Wouldn't want people thinking you had some kind of unhealthy Khan obsession.
“Slag heap” or a great tourist attraction?

When it’s Marxism yes, I agree but you’re going off topic here Ian. So no opinion on The Mound?

It sounds like good capitalist fun: build a hill and charge people to walk up it.

"Build it and they will a) not come and b) relentlessly take the p*ss out of it" 
It is, imho, utter pants, and a poor show from idea to execution. Mind you, if I was there, and it cost me nowt, I'd definitely go up it, and maybe even temper my views a little. but it's still cr*p

This thread reminds me of the 'pile of bricks' artwork in the 80s ... the public resentment is astonishing sometimes, but everyone is allowed to have an opinion, that's the point.
The mound is temporary and allows views over Hyde Park. I'm cool with that
Edit* it was 1976.
What is he thinking?
a) mmmm, for farks sake, my 4 year old could have done that.
b) mmmm, nice buff brick, but a prefer a handmade red generally.
c) mmmmm, I must sort those wipers out on the Capri later.

I've heard tell that Marx was really snarky.
In fact he invented lol.
(maybe not a reliable source for above but he was a bit of a pisshead around soho)

And everyone is entitled to keep their money in the pocket, and it seems most are. Its biggest waste of money since Accy bought that traction engine for popping to the shops.This thread reminds me of the 'pile of bricks' artwork in the 80s ... the public resentment is astonishing sometimes, but everyone is allowed to have an opinion, that's the point.

Why not ... walk round Hyde Park??This thread reminds me of the 'pile of bricks' artwork in the 80s ... the public resentment is astonishing sometimes, but everyone is allowed to have an opinion, that's the point.

But no, I take your point about art and subjective opinions etc. I do feel that stuff inside a gallery can take more risks - public money spent on something that we HAVE to look at when walking past Narble Arch should get a bit more fore-thought!
