Quoting libralady: Plans to erect a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the city centre of Leicester has run into trouble, with a section of the population favouring soccer icon and local hero Gary Lineker to be honoured instead.
As much as I admired Gandhi, he has nothing to do with Leicester or Britain for that matter, personally I think they should have a statue of Gary Lineker who was one of Britains most famous footballer, notably for never being booked or even cautioned in his career.
'Gandhi is a historical figure connected to India. He has no connection to English culture or the English, therefore a statue of him would be more suitably erected in India. This would be yet another symbol of segregation in Leicester and it would be something else for the Asian community. We have local heroes here, Lineker or the writer, Joe Orton,' Ingram said.
Leicester has a high Asian population and is predicted to be Britain's first white-minority city in 12 years. |
I totally agree with you Libralady. What the hell...!
Quoting libralady: Just more proof that Britain is going totally bonkers! |

Quoting girleegirl: Quoting lady in red: Well,this really is the final straw. I'm sorry thehandsom but I for one have had enough of your obscene posts. Petitions seem to be all the rage at the moment and I think it would be a good idea to start a petition to have you removed from this site.
|
Sorry LIR, I have to disagree with you on this one. I think wanting to have handsom removed for posting a couple of irreverent things is going a bit far.  |

World's Smallest Gun
World's Smallest Gun That Shoots Deadly Bullets. The Swiss Mini Gun is the size of a key fob but fires tiny 270mph bullets powerful enough to kill at close range and is officially the world's smallest working revolver. It is the being marketed as a collector's item and measures just 2.16 inches long (5.5cm). It can fire real 4.53 bullets up to a range of 367ft (112m). The stainless steel gun costs £3,000 although the manufacturers also produce extravagant, made-to-order versions made out of 18-carat gold with customised diamond studs which sell for up to £30,000. At just over two inches long it is the world's smallest gun - but the 300mph bullets it fires mean it is still deadly It cannot be imported into the UK, and buyers in Switzerland and Europe must produce an import permit from police to obtain one. The gun is banned from being imported into the US - because it's barrel is less than three inches, meaning it is deemed too small to qualify for sporting purposes.

Joe Orton was a brilliant writer but I hardly think his antics at the library set a good example to today's children  .
Gandhi, a great human being. Perhaps his statue would remind people that peaceful protests can be effective. I understand what you are saying about this Libra - the legacy of good old British Colonialism :-S
Lineker would be my choice. A good modern role model for self control and behaviour.
