He said the statue would be a"fitting tribute to a truly unique political figure", calling Baroness Thatcher"a significant part of Grantham's heritage".The daughter of a grocer,Mr Cooke went on:"We must never hide from our history and this memorial will be a talking point for generations to come."The council has installed a CCTV camera opposite to deter vandals
Graham Jeal, of the GCHA, said:"There has long been a conversation in Grantham about a more permanent memorial to the country's first female prime minister who was an enormous political figure, both nationally and internationally.
Love it
Good, pleased the cunts dead Jelly and ice cream
Long overdue
Thick as mince
Great 👍
And what !!!!
Some sad F****** about ! This lady had great strength, she had her flaws, however, she was more of a man than most of our recent leaders. falklands
There will always be the ignorant, that only know one way to communicate their thoughts and opinions. Just how they are. Bless.
A statue of Thatcher being hung from the neck by a yellow & green rope... That's bound to go down well in many parts of the UK that suffered with unemployment & the destruction of their communities.
Who even thought this was a good idea
That noose is on point
hating Thatcher has become a trendy hobby for the left who weren't even alive when she was in power they always complain about her taking their jobs away, but when the EU and The Labour party did it to labourers and builders the left stay silent
What an absolute waste of money 🙄
The Lady's statue is not for egging or booing nor for any U turn or yanking.Respect the Iron lady you louts.
Why was any money spend in a statue to that evil creature anyway ? Knowing full well the repercussions of her in power are still felt today by millions
She was the worst. Not only for England but the world.
Pull it down, worst dictator since boriski.
Seriously £300'000 What a waste. It won't last. It'll get egged and vandalised constantly.
She cant breathe!!
Well there’s a surprise 🙄
Culprits should be booked .
Booing a statue? 🤣
Got what it deserved. £300K on a statue while this could've been spent on starving families.
Bomc40 wazzared
jimmystirling you this?
Typical knee jeek leftie reaction from people who were not even alive when Maggie came to power. They dont realise how decrepit the cojntry would be now had it not been for the muzzelling of the unions.
we never had grooming gangs in every city with maggie
The iron lady turned Britain into a nation of shareholders .
Throw the c**** out the country
Best Prime Minister ever ❤️
I just dead Nazi that coming.
Who stands and boos a statue 😭
Margaret Thatcher is the great leader of the world
What on earth is wrong with people! It’s a statue!
At least it’s not blood, as she done to miners.
Does it have an armed guard?
That's the problem with Woke Britain - even the monument to the greatest Prime Minister this country has ever had must now be portrayed by a non-white statue.
I'm not going to compare that thing to Hitler cos I'd be guilty of Godwin's law. I'm tempted though
Three victories on the bounce. That’s how hated she was. Now people who weren’t even born then like to tell us how bad she was. 😂
🦊
Oh dear🤔😁🤣
Whoever rigged up the lifting strap obviously had a sense of humour. 😜
Politics aside..Although we're pushing for more women to be elevated to prominent positions in this country the statue of the first woman primeminister of the country could not be erected in Parliament Square
Politically motivated statues shouldn't be a thing they divided not unite people.
Bad news chaps. There's a squadron of Ukranian tractor drivers on the way too.
Disgraceful MrsMThatcher IronLady
Erected
Love Maggie.
Booing a statue, just how stupid can you get… 😂🤣😂
I was against the vandalism we saw last year against statues of our historical figures but I’m all for taking this one down and burying the cunt for the second time.
Public money being spent on a statue of her, Thatcher would ideally agree such a statue is wrong😂
Margaret Thatcher made the UK a top 5 economic power in the world. Sorted the Argies out and allowed people to buy their homes and created wealth. It's easy to forget what the UK was like in 1975... The sick man of Europe.
Yeah, god damn shame.
Is that a noose?
Can never have enough public loos
The people have spoken
🤣
Needs to keep the rope on lol
If the people who did this are old enough to have lived through her reign as prime minister they should be way too old to be acting so immature.
She’s still dead though right? Good.
As a political figure who unnecessarily inflicted pain on a massive number of her own citizens for purely political reasons, this statue ought not to have been created in the first place.
Mystery why
People are sleeping on the streets , Economy in pieces and they shell out 300,000 for a Statue . Shocking and ignorant waste of Money.
As it should be.
Love how they positioned the strops around her neck to lift her.
She was a great female leader.
Typical non achievers who will protest for the rest of their poor pathetic little lives. If they can afford eggs they clearly are not going hungry 😎😎.
1/2 Nobody would put up a statue of Wilson, Callaghan or Benn, because the Labour governments of 74-79 & 64 to 70 literally bankrupted the country & the IMF had to bail them out. Power cuts, 3 day weeks, hyper-inflation, rising unemployment, inefficient nationalised industries,
They really thought this would go down well?

Same people who voted for her. Buyer’s remorse? Pathetic.
This seems an acceptable way to protest. It's when people destroy statues that we are going to far. Thatcher was always a Marmite type character, why should death change anything?
Brilliant the same for Johnson when he kicks it
Interesting picture to use...
Good
That’ll show her…………oh.
No surprising, the lefties don't even respect themselves let alone others. Don't worry, they'll be home now in the cheap council houses they or their parents bought!
People were booing an inanimate object? 🤣🤣
Booing a statue sums this world up 😂😂😂😂😂
I hope the eggs bad!!!
Two words that should never be used in a mainstream media headline: Thatcher and erect. Leave it for the niche porn.
She cant breath 😔
Now imagine if someone did this to a George floyd monument and the reaction that’d get
Amazing woman !
on the upside good to see the council building a public toilet
Surprised they put up a statue !be prepared for a lot of cleaning.😏
