Could there be any rational objection?

[iluvmargie]

Sincerely hope not.

[dannyk13]

No, any objection would not be rational.

[CrapAtCryptics]

i`m sure some woke fanatic would find some flimsy pretext to have problems with it.

[iluvmargie]

^ Let's hope if there is. no-one listens to them.

I really hope the Forces sweetheart is immortalised ,she’s an iconic figure of ours, if they can cast a statue of Cilla then surely ?

[Old_Geezer]

Arrhhh... no ! Can't have you pushing more white history down our throats ! We must have a non-white statue, and not hidden in some museum either.

[ichkeria]

Statues are rarely white.
Personally I think statues in general are a bit passe. Often they look nothing like the person they are supposed to.

Cilla was ahead of the game, she quite rightly got rid of her racist name.

[dannyk13]

If not a statue why not name a concert hall after her.

White woman. War heroine.

Nah the BLM wokists will rip it down.

She is a national icon and I would not object to having a statue of her somewhere prominent in London

[Hopkirk]

Berkeley Square?

[fender62]

she gave a lot of joy and hope to many, soldiers and civilians alike.

[maggiebee]

In TTTs word "perlease"

[dannyk13]

Maggie ?

[ToraToraTora]

maggie, you don't agree with the statue??

[Togo]

They will never get away with it....unless they make her look a bit like Aretha Franklin.

[Ellipsis]

As long as we're still doing statues then she should definitely have one, the only question is where. The white cliffs of Dover would be fitting but seen by too few.

[naomi24]

I expect Maggiebee would prefer a statue of Harry Lauder - but his stuff just didn't have the same ring somehow.

[Jackdaw33]

If Vera had sung, "There'll always be a Scotland", maggiebee might have been more sympathetic to the idea.
