Still time to comment on Sphere
Ian Sinclair, McGrath Road, Stratford, writes:
As the legendary Labour MP Tony Benn was fond of saying: “The ruling classes always control us. The first way is to frighten us, the second way is to divide us, the third way is to demoralize us. And the fourth way is to make us cynical.”
It is certainly easy to feel demoralised, especially when it comes to opposing the proposed Madison Square Garden Sphere in Stratford.
However, it’s important to realise the opposition to the corporate development has lots of support. For example, London Assembly member for City and East Unmesh Desai recently wrote to the London Legacy Development Corporation making a “strong, formal objection” to the Sphere.
