Tory Students Petition for a 250 foot statue of Thatcher

[Ifreann]

I don't think these people realize how absurdly tall this statue will be.

With the proposed 50ft marble plinth, is it not expected to be taller than the Statue of Liberty?

No. Ground-to-torch Lady Liberty stands 305 feet 1 inch high. However, base-to-torch she's a mere 151 feet 1 inch, a good 100 feet shorter than The Thatchue less her marble plinth.

I'm guessing it would look something like this

You are missing the 30 foot handbag.

Darn. Maybe they could add a little something on top of her head....

A 6ft statue of a weeping miner.

A 6ft statue of a weeping miner.

Probably be more appropriate to have her standing on a 6ft pile of them.

[Miarie]

Finally, somebody found a waste of money bigger than school football fields.

Probably more appropriate, but definitely less silly.

[New DeCapito]

Here's what I propose: we make a 250 foot high statue of Thatcher out of coal. Then we burn it.

[Alvecia]

True, true.
A 300ft Thatchue outside a nightclub just isn't silly enough.
Maybe it could be rigged to spurt fire out of it's eyes.

[Steffan]

Well, I know next to nothing about Thatcher. Must've been a tad controversial. But if they want their Coloussus of Thatcher, more power to em.

[Eastern Equestria]

This is about accentuating whatever issues those Tory students saw in their school's system for petitions. They don't seriously expect this to become a reality, nor should anybody else.

And bolts of lightning from her arse!

People danced in the streets when she died. "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" reached no. 1 in the charts.

Yeah. A tad controversial.

[Vassenor]

If your against this, it's probably safe to say your a little sexist.

Pretty sure it's possible to think Thatcher was a horrible human being without giving a damn about her gender.

[Genivaria]

If your against this, it's probably safe to say your a little sexist.

What makes this comment particularly weird is that Thatcher was extremely anti-feminist.

[Senkaku]

I'm sure the Iron Lady would be proud that people want to waste huge sums of money in her name.

[Cetacea]

If it were not such a huge waste money, I would love that to be built just so we can dynamite afterwards

Dynamiting an iron statue sounds like it'd be really dangerous. Thatcher shrapnel flying everywhere.

it would be like her Deflation Strategy and Poll Tax all over again!

[Internationalist Bastard]

I'm not big on 250 ft statues of anyone, seems very...worshippy

[Esternial]

The Iron Lady oh I get it.

Funny.

[Liriena]

So... they want their very own colossus, but infinitely less wonderful?

I demand this petition is scrapped, and a 250 foot statue of Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess of Grantham is built in its stead.

That's definitely gold.

Why not just let the memory of her rust in peace... Peices...

[Mesoland]

Agreed. As part of a working class originally northern family with strong ties to the mining industry, I can never forgive her for what she did to our miners, no matter her intentions. I too hope she, and her memory, rusts in pieces.

i can't forgive her for what she did to our minors

And to LGBT+ people.

The whole of the UK, really.

How could she abolish free school milk like that?
