Statues
I don't believe it.
Now in Dorset they are going to remove the statue of Baden Powell (Scouts founder)
What the bloody hell did he do wrong ?
The way it's going they won't put a statue of me up (when I turn my toe's up.)

Re: Statues
Before people tear down his statue, I’d just like to point out that
when Admiral Lord Nelson died he was 5ft 4inches tall. He now
has a statue that is 16ft tall, that’s horatio of 3:1!
