The statue was moved to the area due to fears of a 'motivated far-left movement...'
I think they are seriously underestimating the divisiveness of the Thatcher years. Many approve of her, but the dislike is far more widespread than the motivated far left.

Personally think there should be a 100 year rule on statues and don't really think other than being born there, Thatcher had much of an affinity with the town.
That said, it's brilliant to see just how many people are triggered by an inanimate object. And at least it's far more life-like than the Sergio Aguero one!
I think someone's already thrown an egg at it (and missed).
I believe it was Harold Wilson who remarked as Prime Minister when he was targeted with an egg that the living standards must be good if people can afford to chuck food around!

You would think that a statue commemorating Grantham's most famous former resident who became the country's first female Prime Minister would be entirely appropriate.
Of course there are many benighted souls who inhabit today's society entirely lacking the intellect to see beyond petty, or misguided politics. Witness the recent toppling and defacement of other statues and the booing of Prince William at Wembley yesterday.
C'est la vie.

Remarkable how many white men of a certain age are triggered by a statue of a female Prime Minister.

I wonder if there'll ever be one of Corbyn.
I imagine they'd probably charge people to visit it like they do with Marx's headstone.
'Viva la revolucion!'

The time Corbyn sat down on the floor of a "ram-packed" train only to occupy one of the empty seats he'd walked past just moments before once this picture was taken. Stunning. Brave. I suppose for Johnson we could have the one of him hanging from the zip wire or one of him hiding in a fridge.
