Dezeen: London's world-leading position as a creative centre is under threat, according to this year's London Design Medal winners Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, thanks to a "short sighted" government that is "scarred by creativity". Readers largely welcomed the duo's intervention, but some weren't convinced by their arguments.

I don’t see the loss of value placed on those higher up in power in London as the death of the future for all young creative people in London. Instead I see it as the start of change to a new artist movement. People taste in what they are used to seeing is changing and they value something new that just hasn’t been created yet. The idea that people don’t see art as practical and worth any monetary value is just a cover up for confusion and the general public not understanding the purpose of Art. Art has always been tied to our human nature and is what helps to separate us from the uncivilized wild animals. The idea that people being so concerned with money that would lead to the demise of the importance of design and art is ludicrous. The desire to create and represent and understand the world around us many not always present itself in the conventional forms everyone has come to know and appreciate most but the desire exists within each and every one of us.
