in Trafalgar Square ... The one that has nothing on it and last year they got members of the public to stand for an hour on it doing what they wanted. Well they're going to put something there. Heres the shortlist ... with pictures ..

BBC News - In Pictures: Fourth Plinth shortlist

so which one do you prefer .. Boris is going to decide next year.
 
Why don't we move the fourth plinth up to Accy and in it's place in Trafalgar Square leave a plaque saying "The fourth plinth has now moved up to Accrington, Lancashire. If you want to see some great art, go up there and see it."

Then Accy can get innudated with hoards of dumb Yanks, thieving Frogs, arrogant Germans, greasy Spaniards, dodgy Eye-Ties and the rest. Stick the plinth in front of Accy Market Hall and then put another notice on it saying "Welcome to Accy Market Hall. Enjoy!"

I owuld guess it's cheaper to rent the space in Trafalgar square than Accy market :rolleyes:
 
Ok then..give each stallholder on Accy Market a week on the fourth plinth. That happened about a year ago...every buggar got an hour perched on top...Half the nutters in the UK were there..Garinda made an excellent speech, if I recall.

......but just hope it isn't a Wednesday, or the market hall will be closed.

There's already a statue of him, at the other end of Whitehall.

Besides, do we really want two statues of a man that wanted to send in armed troops against those on strike, in the Great Strike of 1926?

I don't.
 
How about a reminder that the Country is on it's uppers and can't afford decent education for example, but can squander cash on such useless articles as these!:mad:
 
Well said Less.
Have these designers already been paid for the dross they are considering for the Fourth Plinth? If so, where did the money come from? Which moron paid out the money? Lastly can we have a set of stocks up on the Fourth Plinth? At least then we could put public figures up there and pelt them with donkey dung for their sins.

A guillotine or scaffold would be a more permenant solution;)
up the revolution
 
the battenberg is made out of household bricks ... now could you imagine come a saturday night and the government of the day has made another cut .. you dont agree with it .. you could swipe a couple of bricks from there and wander down the road ... it'd be easier than walking from home with them in your pockets .... :D:D:D

a cash machine which every time its used announces to the whole square that its being used by playing organ music ... yeah right ... muggers paradise!!!:D:D:D

can you imagine how much you'd get for weighing in all them charms at the local scrapyard? :D:D:D

so its down to the blue cockerel, britain and the boy on his rocking horse ....

boy on his rocking horse ... can you imagine having to brasso that every week to keep it shining like that .... :rolleyes:

a blue cockerel in trafalgar square ... does that really go with everything else there ... :rolleyes:

so its down to britain .... what happens if scotland goes independent ... :D:D:D
 
a blue cockerel is a French emblem, so that deserves to be kicked into touch right away.

And Margaret I did actually think of a guillotine, but thought it might be a bit radical.
 
Two quotes spring to mind-'I don't believe it!' and 'You can't be serious!' But they ARE-I can't find how much this joke at our expence has already cost, they probably daren't tell us.George 4th is hardly a symbol of good kingship but at least you wouldn't stand in front of it and laugh, or be sick. Boris Johnson will make himself a laughing stock( don't say it!) if he doesn't kick all these out.And SACK somebody.
