Apparently the cost to the public purse for a statue for the little old lady who resided in Buck House.
Do you think money laundering Cherlie should pay for it himself? He will still have change left over from his thoroughly (un) deserved £44 million pay rise…What did he get that for anyway?
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Utter waste of money. She fleeced the country for billions during her lifetime, so I suppose we should expect it to continue in death

The Queen was highly regarded in Scotland as the crowds at the roadside on her last journey proved. So away and boke on a haggis…

I think the support towards the Royals is now waining in large parts of the UK. Folk starting to realise they are leeching off the rest of us.
Andrew once again embroiled in scandal, but the only issue this time round is Mummys not there to save the day and by all accounts Charlie doesn’t like him that much……

90% of people in Scotland did not give a fig about her or the rest of her dysfunctional family. They used to need “ rent a crowd “ when she came and went from Holyrood Palace.
Paying homage to the crooks is a decidedly English thing. Sure there are a few grovelling lackies north of the border but the vast majority of us see them for what they are..
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

It definitely isn`t a "decidedly English" thing. It`s rare I agree with Parboiled, but the Queen was always well regarded among people in Scotland, and not just the staunch ones.
However, the royals are much less relevant nowadays and I doubt Charles gets a second thought.
I`d suggest it`s fine to have a statue of a monarch who reined as long as she did, but not at such a ridiculous cost. I`d much rather a tribute to her rein came in the form of a new NHS hospital, and preferably not in London.

Who said it was a statue? It’s a memorial - it could be anything.

Desperado did. It`s the title of the thread 😉
Fair point though, it might be a mural or a piece of public art like Dunfermline`s infamous "stairway to nowhere". Regardless, spending upto £50m on this doesn`t feel right at a time where there are record levels of child poverty in England and the government can`t afford to help pensioners with heating their homes.

It never stopped them giving Cherlie a whopping £44 million pay rise so this will be a given too. One rule for the elites and another set for the plebs..

Maybe it will be one of those wee blue plates stuck on the front of houses where someone famous once lived. Perhaps a plate on the gate at Balmoral: "Her Maj used to holiday here."

Genuinely sickened and disgusted at this. After she croaked that should have been the end of it , particularly after the Prince Andrew scandal.
