Seeing this support grow has been a heavy but necessary reminder that people still care about legacy. It is draining work to keep pushing, yet the momentum tells me we cannot stop now.

The Olympic Park's Legacy of regeneration and social inclusion should be intertwined with President Mandela's same legacy. A great honour for an honourable man!
A very appropriate idea.

Well deserved.

Surely by now you should realise that naming things after Nelson Mandela is a stock parody in British culture. Whatever Mandela's achievements, naming a street after him is a pretty pathetic cliched way of honouring him, shown clearly in Only Fools and Horses over 30 years ago.
