Not sure what you're talking about, but I like your idea.
The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. Page 3

One of the four plinths around the outer ring at Trafalgar Square has never had a statue on it, and for the past decade or so has been a rotating art installation space. These are the latest candidates for the next resident.
They should have an X Factor style show where people vote for a statue of somebody.
Saying that it would probably end up being Kerry Katona or worse Jordan. Then again I doubt Jordan would mind sitting on top of something that big and Kerry probably feels like she's high up most of the time anyway.

They should never do that for anything, ever! Not even for X-Factor, cos people are stoopid! Down with Democracy!

War hero, definitely. I've read many stories about the brave UK soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Hopefully you've read the same and will choose to honor them. Some of those humble people have done amazing things.

I might join you. Got to put this wood to some use.

The wife will be pleased. Not sure I am. Nor the wood.

You presumably support the Sir Keith Park memorial campaign? (Though strictly speaking he was a Kiwi.)
they should have an open air toilet that'd be fun
They have just closed down the one at the other end of Whitehall.
napalm is what democracy village needed

As he's got a statue going up in Waterloo Place, not so much. But yes, before that was confirmed I was relatively fond of the idea of his occupation of the fourth plinth - although would still prefer that a Briton could be found.
