Sorry Earlm, but the "bunch of multicultural and leftist jackasses" are here to stay, well at least for a while anyway.

 

My personal choice would be for either a statue of Andrew Cunningham, he would fit in well alongside Nelson or Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

ABC would be an excellent choice

Have they had a hit since the mid 80's?

How about the cigar chomper, Churchill, or does he have one already?

Or an RAF Spitfire?

Kind of drives home what Britain means to the modern world, as in we wouldn't be here, if Britain failed?

Spitfire would be good but the "don't offend anyone brigade" would be dead set against it so it would need overwhelming public support... which I think it would get against those others pictured (that would be an easy petition for any government to pass which costs nothing and makes them look on the side of the people) ...   perhaps Blue Peter could run a competition....... socks anybody...  :-)

Padfoot there can never be enough monuments to great people such as Andrew Cunningham or Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

1.  Bomber Harris

Britain has had many, many great men, and women, throughout its long and illustrious history.

 

If you were to do a list of "Great Britons" it would probably be longer than that of a similar list from any other country.

 

I propose putting a statue of Wellington on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square, if he hasn't got a statue anywhere else in London.

 

Other contenders for the plinth?  How about Charles Darwin, or William Shakespeare, or Isaac Newton, or Charles Dickens or Sir Francis Drake, or Florence Nightingale (nursed sick and injured British soldiers in the Crimean War), or Edward Elgar (composer), or William Caxton (the inventor of the printing press), or Edward Jenner (pioneer of vaccination), or Charles Babbage (computer pioneer), or Sir Ernest Shackleton?

Would rather have a statue of  Mary Seacole than Florance Nightingale.
