Do remember Jack that the old leftists like me may be right and the "broad political issues" may be crucial. SP is simply wrong in her re-writing of history in at least two respects: the pylons were removed and the Chobham Academy launched as outcomes of the Westfield shopping mall, nothing to do with the Olympic Games. Hers is a very biased/emotional kind of language, depicting the pre-Olympic landscape as she does. It was also home to a lot of people, now displaced, the site of a lot of business activity and other activities which people valued.
