Maybe some Pro-Empire people will tear it down and then be found not guilty of criminal damage?

[ToraToraTora]

"pro empire"? - I'd settle for not anti British zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

I thought Pro-Empire was more apropos as the gentleman ‘ fought against British colonial rule’.

It is only temporary. The fourth plinths has had a number of different projects on it. Each one seems to elicit cries of angst from our resident miserablists.

If you don’t like this one, I eagerly await your reaction to the next one…

// Casts of the faces of 850 trans people from London and around the world. The "life masks" will be arranged around the plinth in the form of a tzompantli, a skull rack from Mesoamerican civilisations. //

Appalling. Wouldn't someone British be more fitting? We already got Gandhi and Mandela in Parliament Square.

Paigntonian

It will be replaced by masks of 850 trans people from London. So you got your wish :-)

[ToraToraTora]

Tzompantli - great word, added it to my list!
TBH gromit I think I prefer that one to the hand wringer special.

[Old_Geezer]

Who ?
Someone who was actually against us gets a statue ?
Ridiculous.

[gulliver1]

Do the same as was done when Thatchers statue was erected throw eggs and paint at it. In Thatcher's case it was rightly deserved though.

[tiggerblue10]

Why we need to erect statues of anyone anymore. Are they really necessary in this day and age? Probably costly too.

[Old_Geezer]

Well there's a desperate need for one of the philanthropist Edward Colston in Bristol.

TB @ 13.03 Thatchers Statue cost the Taxpayer £300,000 .Typical Con ,Still ripping the tax payer of even when you aint Alive.

I remember the Banda copying machine from primary school.

Excellent odour from the chemical used. :-)

[ToraToraTora]

Looks like a village is being deprived somewhere.

[gulliver1]

Looks like I've put the cat amongst the pigeons again.

[gulliver1]

What makes it even better is , when paint was thrown over Thatchers Statue .... it.... was..wait... for it.
.......................RED Paint !

[naomi24]

Ooo Gulliver, you are a one!

[Mozz71]

Meh. It's a statue. Who really cares? I guess it give Tora something new to get triggered over.
