There was an item this morning on Today about the fact that the BBC Director General felt that it would be inappropriate to have a statue of G. Orwell because he was too left wing. Amazing!

They can put anyone there as long as it's not Maggie.

Why do they need a statue of anyone? Perhaps a generic one of a licence payer

I think GO might be rather horrified at the thought of there being a statue of him.
