London Wall West (5)

If you are able to open the attached article in the Daily Telegraph, it is a sensible, moderate critique of the decision to demolish the old Museum of London.  It may not be the end of the world, but it is symptomatic of an attitude of mind which is disdainful of history and the environmental consequences of demolition.

The weird thing is that Bastion House is the best surviving monument of the Brave New World of the City Fathers of the 1970s, only one generation, maybe two generations ago. 

In fifty years time, their successors will look at the complete idiocy of the current generation.

So dim of them not to have paid attention to their past.  So idiotic of them not to have paid attention to the future.
