My God, what IS your problem?? According to you, ANYTHING that's tall is automatically crap. Literally everything I've seen you post seems to be anti-highrise. Can you honestly look at these amazing renderings and say this will be a "crap" tower:

I suppose you think the Gherkin is crap as well. I bet you'd prefer if the City was completely flat, with no skyline or tall modern buildings whatsoever. You'd prefer London to be a kind of museum city.

No need to be rude, is it?
...if you press it, they will come.

Sorry if I seem aggressive or rude. But I'm just tired of hearing Micky give a totally negative opinion on just about EVERY single proposed skyscraper in London, when the majority of them are world class designs that are going to radically improve the skyline (in time for the 2012 Olympics, when the world's eyes are going to be focussed on this amazing city).
