To be entirely fair, the company behind the plan, Criterion Capital, has already fricking ruined it by turning it into a pod hotel with 728 windowless rooms.
!britbongs another big L on the books, although in my opinion London should be nuked from orbit anyway

But yeah, its super dumb to have a mosque in Picadilly Circus but billionaire foreigners don't give a frick. Apparently it was supposed to have capacity for 1000 people, but after complaints they got it down to 390 worshippers. If he has any tact, he'd use the remaining space for an Islamic cultural centre/mini-museum so there'd at least be some use for non-worshippers and the wider "community" (as if a commerical centre like Picadilly would have one lmao).
EDIT: here's his bong (ex?)wife

I'm noticing that every thread about british drama has a comment saying 'here's his wife' followed by a picture of drak'thar, stomper of villages

It's a message, much like Tata buying Redcar British Steel in order to close it down. At least that's my theory. I don't know why else you'd do something that's so obviously a territory-marking act.
On the gripping hand, there's never been _anything_ of value at the Trocadero for as long as I can remember - it used to be an amusement arcade sponsored by Sega for god sakes - so this might actually improve the use case and average occupancy.
Just seems like a way to stir up some drama. How appropriate!
