Statue of Thatcher to Go Up in Lincolnshire

[pesh]

Loving the heras fence
reminds me of the shit Christmas trees thread.

This is just going to happen time and time again isn’t it. It’s such a blatantly obvious target I’m genuinely surprised they went ahead with it given the inevitable constant cost of cleaning and repairs they’re going to need.

Yep, and it was so bloody predictable.

The first serious rebuttal.

The red paint is a rather derivative and obvious cliche, though the hammer and sickle gives the piece something of a refreshing whimsy.

5.5 / 10 - not quite hitting the mark this time, but the artist shows signs of promise and may be one to watch for the future

 

[platinumsage]

They’ll probably move it to the town hall roof or somewhere similarly inaccessible, whilst blaming out-of-town anarchists for the desecration.

 

[Raheem]

They'll get Home Office funding for a nightwatch, a 20-mile exclusion zone and a griffin on a chain.

The council don't move quick so it will stay and the heras fencing will stay too. More attacks, it will be great. Chip away!

 

[TopCat]

I think the commies should not have it all their own way. I hope to see a big circled A etched into her forehead soon.

Somebody stick some red candles on her head make her look all satanic

The real battle will be in the air.

Just need a trial run with a spunking cock.

This happened the other day -




The painters have been back to Grantham to give the Thatcher statue a second coat.
Red, White and Blue, very patriotic, I'm sure she would have approved.’

They clearly need to put the statue in a safer location. Like at the bottom of the sea.

I think it’s fucking disgusting tbh.

Yeah, bit difficult to do a good job of the painting when there’s all that fencing around it.

Surely you can buy paint brushes with extra long handles?

aye imagine putting up a statue to that old witch

 

[spitfire]

I think it’s fucking disgusting they did such a half arsed job.

Need a Planet Eclipse marker set to max balls per second with sickly green paintballs to really fuck it up.

I wonder how much the council (or whoever) will spend on cleaning the thing before they accept defeat?

Maybe they’ll put a mesh or something round it.

He seems like a real happy dude

 

[two sheds]

let's hope the thread title eventually needs updating to "Blow Up"

 

[WouldBe]

Maybe they’ll put a mesh or something round it.

Or a large wooden box.

 

[Dogsauce]

Poetic justice would be it succumbing to a nice bit of mining subsidence and smashing to bits as it topples. I hope the denizens of Grimethorpe are already tunnelling in the right direction from the cellar of a nearby safe house.

I think that, if they're prepared to spend 300k on it in the first place, there's a long way to go yet.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

What are their plans for the fence removal? Obviously the fence looks shit, but it will be carnage when it comes down.
Were they thinking they would just leave it there until the initial hatred of thatcher wears off?

They're optimistic and hoping it dies down by 2122

Nothing like a bit of baseless optimism
