Quote from: muddy on September 11, 2026, 07:37:42 AMWhat you you think of Lady in Blue on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square ?
I quite like it especially her blue dress .
I don't like the fact that it is by American artist Tschabalala Self- not a name to be pronounced easily

Surely we should put the work of British artists up there ?

Lady In Blue by New York pays homage to a 'young, metropolitan woman' .
Self said she had set out to put an ordinary contemporary Londoner on the plinth
"My work Lady In Blue will bring to Trafalgar Square a woman that many can relate to," the artist said.
"She is a woman walking forward into our collective future with ambition and purpose. She is a Londoner "

Although might think it would be more suitable for an African country
She's probably right .
We are stuck with it for two years .
But it's 100% better than the last one





She may live in London but a Londoner she certainly ain't!!!!!!!!!

Quote from: Alex on September 12, 2026, 05:30:11 PMI don't understand why ITV has dropped Sir Tom !  he makes the show, so I think they'll loose a lot of viewers, the opposite to their intention
Yes, I agree with you, Alex.  He will be greatly missed.

Just had another thought though,   I wonder if he actually asked to go?  Did he want to retire now perhaps?
Newspapers are notorious for twisting things after all.

QuoteDale Vince, who donated £5 million to Labour, now wants a cap on donations.
This shameless hypocrite got £123 millions from the labour in government contracts for his company Ecotricity

He is an appalling character who has disfaced and disgraced the town of Stroud with a huge Palestinian flag hung from his building .
I believe this to be the reason why the 36 million was given in one lump sum.. Knowing someone will ask for donations to be capped... Too late Sir..😁
