If we're putting statues up I'd rather it was someone local, but if you're going to have a statue of a non local Gandhi would be one of the better choices.

Good on 'em, if that's what they want to do

As long as it doesn't cost me anything, and as long as the local community want it (which they apparently do) then there appears to be no harm in it whatsoever

Do you want to be in the Tipsters ?

Who wants it, and why?
Where is it going?
Who will pay for it?

Re: Ghandi

I heard about this on the radio last night and the campaign to have Gary Lineker or someone local there instead. That sounds more sensible but I don't know who I'd prefer.

The idea has come from the Gujarati community of Belgrave
It will go somewhere in Belgrave
Some Indian Charity will fund the whole thing

Job's a good un then.
Why should anybody else be even slightly bothered?

Re: Ghandi

Ghandi? Schmandi

I think a statue of Engleburt should be placed on top of the clock tower there should also be a statue of that lad from Coronation street and it should be big enough to take up the whole of Gallowtree gate.

All paid for by the Foxes Trust.

Not far off

Some **** has actually set up an on line petition asking for a statue of Gary Lineker instead, and is saying it's a disgrace etc. etc.

You couldn't make it up

Indeed.

I know you said it was to be in Belgrave, I could have sworn a while back I read it was to be in the city centre. Maybe I just read city and presumed it was in the centre.

Agree with both

Because they are all misinformed cnuts who think it's going to be alongside the Clock Tower.

That makes more sense. The news report implied it was going to be in Gallowtree Gate or somewhere central which is why it seemed strange to me.

Re: Ghandi

Maybe they should split the difference and have a statue of Richard Attenborough (sp?) in a pose of him directing the Ghandi movie.
Everybody happy.

I wouldn't blame you, I'd blame the nationals and tv news which uses the term 'city centre' very loosely.

If it was to be bang in the middle, it'd be a bit shit really.

Lech Walesa would be more appropriate in this day and age. :icon_wink
