Unprintable even with our new, relaxed profanity filter

What statue? Where? I switch off whenever that besom's name comes on the news.............

Its in the HOP, I believe she is the first living ex-PM to have a statue placed there. Its made of bronze and doesn't come with a turning mechanism.

Does it have a handbag? And a supercilious, patronising and arrogant sneer on its coupon??

And a queue of unemployed people and YTS behind her?

They ought to have used Scargill as a plinth.

It should hold a placard saying "Mortgages - only 15%"

Perhaps it has only been commissioned so we can lassoo her neck, pull it to the ground and then start hitting it with our slippers!

One already exists. I've seen it on "You are what you eat." I think it is called "The Ideal Poo"

It'll not just be the pigeons queuing up to shit on it.

Edit - fixed a spelling mistake

Hey, what a great thread to find out that word's no longer a victim of the profanity filter.

If there's a space on it now where "shit" used to be, I'd like to suggest "Thatcher".

Right, I'm away for a Thatcher.

I'm just back from the filming of question time, and the last question was "should we have a statue of Thatch in the Scottish parliament". I had my hand up ready to nick your idea, but it was not to be.
