The Killing of The Elephant & The Destruction of The Castle

Four special ruminations on the Elephant & Castle taking in everything we did to try and save the area and curses on all those who came after and what they wanted for our special place. Written from memory in Vigia in Brazil and Sants in Barcelona but always in the time/space memory of The Elephant.

“...And it’s clear that there must be a ‘Them’ and ‘Us’ as we millionaires in spirit do to each other the best things as those millionaires in pounds do to others what the pounds tell them to. Sure, yes, there are small ghouls amongst us, purse-snatchers, self-abusers, ranters, ravers, wind-up merchants, some lost bullies and those of out their heads for whatever grim reason abound but what Law do we really need? We try our best, without condemning them all to The Law, to restore all our sense of selves and soul by sharing always the best of us despite us lacking much”.
