The Shard skyscraper opens today.
There was a rather vacuous item on the Today programme this morning, entirely uncritical.
Doesn't the Shard tell you everything you need to know about the last government.
Toweringly remote, prestige for the sake of prestige, "modernity" for the sake of modernity, intimidating big "solutions" unrelated to individual concerns, pushed through with a contemptuous regard to opposition voices, all surface dazzle, awash with money from dubious regimes etc.
No wonder they had to go.
