Gandhi or Gary? Why Leicester can't decide who should sit on plinth
“A statue [of Gandhi] will be an excellent symbol of his and Leicester's commitment to diversity.”
One was a footballing hero, rated among England's most prolific strikers; the other is the world's most celebrated pacifist and the spiritual leader who led India to independence. via The Independent

Gandhi might well be a renowned pacifist and politician, but I would say his connection to Leicester is absolutely zero. Why not one of me? I was born there.

Lol, Well he does provide me with an hanghover quote, "My mouth is as dry as....."!!!! That's about the only time I have ever mentioned his name! |
|
Martin Johnson should be on the plinth the man is a God and does not wear a nappy.

Neither does Mr Giblets. How much do you want to bet Ghandi gets it. |
|
Of cause Ghandi will get it they won't give it to an Englishman and a white one at that |

You know, who gives a shit any more. Due to the number of asians in Leicester it is so obvious that with the pc idiots working hard at the council to promote possitive discrimination in the city, Gandhi will get it. They don't care that he has no conectin with Leicester. What they think is that he has a connection with the majority of people that live there! Guess all Gary will be remembered for will be promoting crisps!!!

C'mon Gary. No more Mr Nice Guy. The same thing happened in Trafalgar Square with Nelson Mandela. I've never been to Leicester, are they mainly muslims, sikhs or hindus? |

We are the first city in britain to be 50/50 whites & ethnics! Our Government hopes that all our major city will have this perfect mix come 2020! Are they mad or what?

You know, if you don't like to listen to other peoples oppinions, good or bad, you shouldn't come on to Topix! The whole point of it is to say what you think. So if you havn't got anything constructive to say, go away! |
I did say what I think, you should listen or go away! We all have opinions. |

Mate arses like that are not worth responding too. |

What about Willie Thorn? and John Merrick, the elephant men. How dare they forget him.
|
|

why not a statue of Mohammed? Oh no, that will start them off killing and burning. How about one of those elephant Gods or holy Monkeys the Hindus like?
