'The man' (Lambeth Council) has his boot to the throat of 'the kids' (London's skateboarders), and is trying to turn the skatepark at Southbank into a bunch of shops. The spot is pretty much the centre of London skateboarding, and understandably no one really likes the idea of having it bulldozed. The Southbank Centre has set up this forum to discuss it with everyone, which is good because it legitimises people's concerns, as opposed to writing off everyone who skates or paints graffiti as dumb kids. If you skate or paint graffiti and you think you've got something to say about the whole situation, get involved.
