"One tower block will remain which is currently used to house people seeking asylum in the UK."

The closing ceremony should be a hoot.....

What an absolutely splendid message that will send out to the developing nations of the Commonwealth.

"See these old flats? We are blowing them up, because they are not fit for human habitation. Fine for you lot though"
