Fourth Plinth

[MargaretR]

I recall Gayle telling us that she had won a place on the plinth last year but had prior commitments so couldn't go.

How come nobody's sugested Blair & Browns heads on spikes, the real ones not plastic imitations, along with that prat meddlesome.
Retlaw.

Nah mate, everyone gets agreed with sometimes, even me.

I agree with that

Also think that the fourth plinth would be a good place to burn Maggie Thatcher.

Maybe Cuthbert Collingwood deserves a place in Trafalgar Square .... or Midshipman John Pollard who shot the sniper ...

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

Not if Peter Britcliffe and Marlene Haworth have their way....

I've steamed in and voted without seeing the 'None of em' option. Whoops. Seems like another expensive experiment and bewildering to someone like me who knows nothing about art.

The winner will probably end up being one of the more 'artistic' ones, although any newspaper that can resist writing about Nelson's massive blue cock this winter will be demonstrating admirable restraint.

Maybe picking at scab here but has London ever seen a Panopticon , according to the "wiki" site seems these things are limited to North East Lancashire Panopticons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

seems it's an ideal joint project for the recently elected Hyndburn MP and the local 'art's' Tsarina to push and get some public notice to the folks south of Bolton about how folks in N.E. Lancashire have some kulture , and a great example of how public money/funds should be spent

Maybe we should send the Arndale Clock down to Trafalgar Square.

There are plans to resurrect the arndale clock. And who knows maybe even the panopticon idea might get another airing.

Where & when? (the clock that is).

I think we should have a statue of Stephen Hawking.

Was thinking more of Mandy Rice-Davies,but then I would wouldn't I.

The same place. The when, depends on the money and the state of the clock. It's been stored under the arndale for the last few years. But a lot of people would like to see it happen.

Have you got details of this or did you just read it on here a great many years ago?

I would have thought any such plans if recently announced would have been discussed on accyweb in great detail.

Oh dear...just a case of wishful thinking.
