[No.6 Muzzy Izzet...]

Must have something to do with recent spontaneous mass migration, in search of a football team.

 

[Richie_d123]

Did it mention Americans?

Dont think so, from what i did see it was on about diffrent cultures mixing and if it was or wasn't working.

Well i was informed today that we are having a statue of Gandhi.
We have already changed a park name for some South African bloke.
When are we going to have something for Leicesters English population? Why cant we have someone who means something, to the very people that our council would love to sweep under the carpet
I demand a statue of Gary Coatsworth.

It's been covered on here before BB. The Gandhi statue is being positioned in the middle of Belgrave and it's being privately funded. All the council have to do is grant planning permission. Not causing much harm really.

If someone wanted to stick a Gary Lineker statue next to the Walkers, it would be exactly the same.

Yes - what about a statue of Thomas Cook? Outside the station would be a good place to put it.

I was going to use the same example.

I'm not objecting to a statue in Belgrave. Though i object to the fact that the City i've lived near all my life, does little to promote anything to do with the English way of life. Its a shame that the council does not want to promote and remind all communities, that Leicester does have a proud history which as not just been created by the diverse population that now occupies it. One of the greatest discoveries of the 20th Century was Sir Alec Jefferies DNA, and imo its things like this that the city should be proud to recognize.

They do lots of stuff, you just don't notice it. May day celebrations in a few weeks, for example, the bonfire night stuff at Abbey Park, loads of christmas stuff.

Hey we have a statue to our cities great sporting achievements, let that be enough!

That's because the council are too busy hand out pay cuts and too busy with their regeneration plans plus resurfacing the whole of the city centre.

It needs upgrading now though. Perhaps a large penis sticking out of the footballers head may increase its relevance today. :icon_wink

Yes indeed - damn that blasted regeneration of the city centre

Let it slowly decay and fall apart around our ears in the good old British tradition, and instead witter on about our 'proud history'.

That's what we really want
