You on crack?

That aside, I'm not sure Ghandi would feel happy about occupying a place next to Mandela

Doesn't he already have a statue? I'm sure there is one of him in a sitting position in London already. If I search through my photo albums I'm sure to find it. I think its' only a few streets south of Euston station.

You mean here?

Edit, and it's in Trafalgar Square.

Unless it's got a purple friend in Piccadilly Circus?

Perhaps Eros has become tumescent

Gandhi has to stand in Parliament Square because the Met police get very uppity about people sitting down around there, and we all know what happens to people who make the Met uppity.
