There are plenty of old Leninist/Stalinist statues in junk yards all over eastern Europe. Britain should consider saving money by importing them and raising them in Trafalgar Square - just as appropriate as one of Mandela.

You beat me to it! Megatonnes of Lenin and Stalin statues are available for cheap! Done in the finest "Soviet realism" style, too. Apprived by Comrade Stalin himself! Other appropriate revolutionary heroes are available as well that would surely please Imam Blairistani's comrade "Red Ken" - including such notables as Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, "Iron" Felix Dzerzhinsky, even Lavrenti Beria!

Operators are on call 24/7! Call before midnight tonight for a special deal!

You're absolutely correct of course, and unfortunately I am in Seattle which, unfortunately, has one of the Lenin statues in the Fremont district, a traditional haven for hippies, Marxists and the hard Left.
