– A personal view by Harvey TORDOFF
“Bearing in mind he was a thorn in the flesh of the British Government during most of his life it says a great deal about his legacy that he has been honoured in sight of Parliament and says a lot about Britain that they should place his sculpture where it is.”

“A free and unbiased science is essential for resilient and sustainable cities. Otherwise, business plans will become entrenched in untested technologies, which it will become too difficult and unwieldy to back away from.
