As you know there is a vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square that red Ken seems hell bent of filling with all kinds of modernist crap masquerading as art. However, there is now a serious campaign to get the plinth permanently filled with a statue of Sir Keith Park. Not sure who he is? See the website and find out about a man who has made sure have the freedom do sign such a petition now.

Please pass this on to all you know and hopefully something good will come of it. Lest we forget......

Anyone remeber that greatest britons series? all the money taken from the 'phone calls was supposed to go towards making a staue of the winner.
Well Sir Winston Churchil won it and what did we get? a big pile of sleepers aranged in a square, I kid you not. I don't know what drugs they were taking when they decided that was a good idea but I wanted my money back :evil:
Modern art is just the term they used for "big pile of c*** we can't be bothered to take to the tip" in my book, it's all garbage.

I do, & still think that the great man in second place deserved to win

Garbage that's been tipped on an unmade bed at that!!!!!!!!
Does that mean that all teenagers are undiscovered artists???
Remember that 'whatever it was' that the cleaners threw out, thinking it was rubbish.
Step forward Mrs Mop, Britains best art-critic :clap:

Unfortunately in this so called modern day and age, men and women who fought to keep the freedoms that we now have are often glossed over and forgotten or cast as degenerates by so called modern historians. It would be great to see a staue put up, but would it get the same reaction as the statue of Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris?
I'm not sure if Traflagar Square would be the right place for a statue of a Battle of Britain commander. Perhaps near St Clement Danes, the RAF church or the BoB memorial on the Thames would be better.
As has been mentioned already, the lefties would probable say that all these great war leaders were war mongerers and would rather have a statue of a straight banana or a square melon or some such other piece of tat.
Perhaps a statue symbolising Tony Blair, made out of solidified bullcrap, posed in such away, namely bent over getting ready to be shafted, may be a more accurate portrayal of the state of this country at the moment, thanks to the current Government.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
