Why not put up a statue for every onehitwonder including Sonia, Rick Astley and Sinitta? That's a good use of public money. NeverGonnaMeetAgain

That's magnificent.

Shove it off as soon as it's put up. TakingDonationsToBeTheOne

Can’t we stop putting up statues of anyone?

Why not dawn french and Lenny Henry statues? That way it covers everything. Fat, black, trans, interracial, bbc icons too so MAPrights.

WW2 was over a long time ago. Why?

Move on ffs, atleast use someone current like Shamima Begum

Can just imagine it becoming a focus of pilgrimage for Farage and the Gammons

Sounds very fitting and will be popular with the country. But Lefties won't like it. Too patriotic.

What an embarrassing country.

Tragic

Get a fucking grip would you.

Another bloody statue.

🎵there will be tacky statues.🎵At the white cliffs of Dover.🎵Tomorrow just wait and see.🎵There will be mirth and laughter.🎵And pointing ever after.🎵When the world is sophistication free🎵🎵

Lovely, Dame Vera Lynn

Quite right. A true British icon that should be remembered.

For fuck sake. Flag nonces will literally celebrate anything to do with the war

Watch out for the bluebird droppings!

Why..!?!

Hope it’s a really big one. Like this

Like that one on Mt Rushmore?

We are obsessed 😂

Will she be holding a gammon?

Bless us with thy healing grin.

Oh FFS ......

Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

Will there also be Spitfires?

Didn't she never actually go there until the 70s?
