Title: The Shard

I see on the news some muppets have scaled the building and taken footage , albeit some time ago. Urban warriors or something like that. Eejits I would call them. But anyhoo I digress.

Travelling to the tube station this morning I am nearly blinded by the glare from all that glazing as the sun is attempting a half hearted ascent.

Now I consider this a elf and safety risk and propose demolition as the only sensible solution !

Otherwise London will become a population of blind mice permanently wearing sunglasses ! That will never do.
