Throwback: Bob Hoskins talks about urban planning in London’s South Bank

<https://archpaper.com/2019/05/bob-hoskins-urban-planning-london-south-bank/>By 
WILLIAM MENKING • Friday May 10, 2019

The actor Bob Hoskins was the star of the 1980 
film, The Long Good Friday, a London gangster 
movie that reflected on major anxieties, 
opportunities, and economic changes taking place 
in the U.K. In 1982 Hoskins led Barry Norman and 
the BBC on a riverside walk along the South Bank, 
and while pointing to new concrete office blocks 
he calls “Mars Bars” he confronts change in the 
guise of urban development along the Thames.

The coming redevelopment Hoskins claims (and was 
he ever right) will make the 1960s “redevelopment 
epidemic look like a rash.” Next to a Coin Street 
vacant lot, once the site of row houses, but torn 
down for the 1951 Festival of Britain, he points 
to another Mars Bar. You see that (the BBC 
overlays outlines the proposed structures) is 
what happens if you “don’t consult with local 
people.” In 1970 “a big property group said they 
would build flats, shops, and a hotel if they 
could build a great tower for their staff. Once 
they got that tower the company brass pushed off 
down to Surrey and their building was sold off 
and the new owners are new doing up a bit to let 
and now they say they are moving out of the tower 
as well.” Now thanks to these planning decisions 
what we have is an area that “looks and feels 
completely dead.” Hoskins was not just a great 
actor but with deep understanding of culture 
implicitly understood bottom-up planning. We need 
planners with his insight and passion.

‘My dad was such a good actor he convinced The 
Krays he was a gangster’ – Bob Hoskins’ daughter on his gentle side

<https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/my-dad-good-actor-convinced-8084578>https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/my-dad-good-actor-convinced-8084578

HOSKINS, who died in 2014, was often cast as a 
cockney hardman, but in a new book his daughter 
reveals that was as far removed as possible from his real personality.
By Rod McPhee 30 MAY 2016

WHEN Bob Hoskins lost his battle with Parkinson’s 
, a nation mourned the loss of the lovable movie hardman.

In reality, his family say he was a gentle soul 
who loved cookery and archaeology, not the 
underworld criminal like his characters in The Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa

'From South America, where payment must be made with subtlety, the 
Bormann organization has made a substantial contribution. It has 
drawn many of the brightest Jewish businessmen into a participatory 
role in the development of many of its corporations, and many of 
these Jews share their prosperity most generously with Israel. If 
their proposals are sound, they are even provided with a specially 
dispensed venture capital fund. I spoke with one Jewish businessmen 
in Hartford, Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown several 
years before our conversation, but with Bormann money as his 
leverage. Today he is more than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the 
community with a certain share of his profits earmarked as always for 
his venture capital benefactors. This has taken place in many other 
instances across America and demonstrates how Bormann's people 
operate in the contemporary commercial world, in contrast to the 
fanciful nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much "literature."

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish participation in Bormann 
companies that when Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the Jewish and German 
communities of Buenos Aires. Jewish leaders informed the Israeli 
authorities in no uncertain terms that this must never happen again 
because a repetition would permanently rupture relations with the 
Germans of Latin America, as well as with the Bormann organization, 
and cut off the flow of Jewish money to Israel. It never happened 
again, and the pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an Argentinian safe haven, 
protected by the most efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
