How do I chip in for a fund for legal fees for anyone who accidentally damages it?
Well lets hope that it continues to be a target then. Do your worst readers 🙂
Challenge accepted.
Not with that attitude
Aldi have some lovely cheap power tools in at the moment.
Key quote from the article:
>**”There is no prospect of it being taken down unless the level of vandalism and anti-social behaviour gets too much to tolerate.**
Suck it up, you don’t have to approve of every single person who has a statue somewhere.
Oh please. Ukrainians can move entire Russian regiments with a handful of tractors.
This isn’t going going to present _any_ challenge to someone sufficiently motivated.
Grantham Marget Thatcher statue ‘unlikely to be left unvandalised’
Should just put a statue of some people making rude gestures at the first statue and be done with it.
I feel a statue of Arthur Scargill needs commissioning…
Sure. Just like when a government says “we do not plan to do “X” AT THIS STAGE”.
It’s bizarre it exists. What’s next, a statue of Jimmy Savile in Leeds?
Easier to target when it outdoors … thanks.
Means people can keep paying pilgrimage to throw eggs, rotten fruit and paint at it.
It’s a bit mad really, that they put up a statue on a 10-foot plinth just because they know it will be vandalised. It’s putting a finger up at the people who do not revere Thatcher’s memory, and it’s misappropriating their public money to do it, as well as it seems some funding to actually make the piece, from an unreported source.
Thatcher may have been a divisive figure. But this utter intolerance of the left of anyone they dislike leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Others may have different opinions to you, and that’s OK. The inability of many to accept that is going to contribute to the downfall of society (and yes, I say that with a completely straight face).

Don’t bet on it.
