      3 billion tower but we can’t possibly tax them more. Won’t someone think of the billionaires

      The ripple effect across the building sector will be huge, consider all of the hundreds of specialist companies that will be used to build this.

      Let’s spend 3 billion on a building that’s not needed only because we want to force our drones into a massive hive in central London … when the money could have raised their pay and improved the morale.

      Not forced them to work 5 days in an office in central London.

      But yeah another pointless monument to the service of global capital finance … corporate landlords go nom nom nom

      Interesting to see what this will look like as all recent JP Morgan buildings has been ugly as sin.

      India, Glasgow and of course 270 Park Avenue.

      It’s almost as though they’ve said to the architect here’s our budget build us the most disgusting building you can.

      What a world where people think this is good and not another symptom of our death spiral 😂

      Yeh, more money being funnelled into a money pit in London 🎉

      It could be 300 billion and hardly a ripple would be felt across the rest of the county
