A petition: We the undersigned believe that something got mislaid when some benighted, befuddled and possibly soulless fool took it upon themselves to rename the dug up and abused triangle urban grassland on the edge of Deptford the “Gemini project”.
Only to further trample on our dreams that little bit more when they filled this once green space with the ill-gotten gains of those magpies of the tar macadam: the clampers.
It can’t be just us that thinks that the original "Gemini project” even in all its cold war phallocentric (let's not mention Dr Von Braun) madness was a symbol of hope for humankind.The Gemini project showed Us at our best when we are striving, thinking, feeling, doing, creating, solving, seeking, looking and most all breaking free from this vale of tears and reaching out to touch the face if not of god of something a bit more thrilling and life enhancing than a car pound for errant Nissan Micras that just happened to clip a double yellow line.
We here by demand that the name “Gemini project” is changed immediately, what to we don’t care that much. Maybe to whatever Tom Cruise’s character was called in “Days of Thunder” anything really. Don’t get smart though “Sputnik” and “Mir” are out of bounds too, well anything to do with space really, what about “the flattened buddleia field project”.
