Asha Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 What's everybody's thoughts on this then? Is this for real? First I've heard.
Joe. Posted 6 March 2008 Author Posted 6 March 2008 Is this for real? First I've heard. Yeah... http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/mar/04leic.htm
Asha Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 Yeah...http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/mar/04leic.htm Would rather have Ghandi. Lineker is good, but not quite statue worthy. Yet.

BigGibbo Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 Does know one have a problem with Gandhi being a racist then?
Sparky Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 can't see why he only made one good film nice 1 trigger
coale39 Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 A statue in India is fine but one in Leicester? Sorry, but no. We should be celebrating local heros.
Joe. Posted 6 March 2008 Author Posted 6 March 2008 A statue in India is fine but one in Leicester? Sorry, but no. We should be celebrating local heros. Exactly my thoughts. It makes so much more sense to celebrate a local hero to me.
lavrentis Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 What does Ghandi have to do with Leicester Exactly.
Raj Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 Does know one have a problem with Gandhi being a racist then? People will always have bad things to say about ANYONE. The likes of Jesus,Martin Luther King,Malcolm X,Mother Teresa etc....if one person idolises them another one will hate them. Its the ways of the World. Im sure there are even people who hate me or BigGibbo!!! However this statue business is a load of bollox. I even wrote in to the Mercury(i do that now and again!) to express my views. I admire Gandhi(THAT is MY view!) But NO WAY should a statue be built in his honour. Even though it is for Belgrave Road and partly funded by The Hindu temple or whatever(20k i think!) We shouldnt even have one of Lineker(legend though he is) Some may say Walshie has achieved more for us than Lineker We have a statue in Gallowtree Gate commemorating all 3 Sporting teams(major ones! ie Tigers,Cricket and City)and that is great. No one can moan about that(though im sure they will!) We have a park named after Nelson Mandela...fair enough surely? BUT why do we need a statue anyway???...of ANYONE!!!! Within days it will probably get vandalised or something.. There are people like Sir Alec Jeffreys,the inventor of DNA profiling who has helped enormously with crime fighting. People have mentioned the Attenborough boys, Joe Olton,Daniel Lambert even... Leicester is a dump at the moment. Millions are being invested into it. Lets get the infrastructure right before we fcuk around with stupid statues! Im going now!!!!
Phube Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 can't see why he only made one good film But this annoys me... Yes he may deserve a statue, but what has he got to do with Leicester... did he even visit here? I'd rather have a statue of someone who at least has some connection with the City or County!
Asha Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 BUT why do we need a statue anyway???...of ANYONE!!!!... Im going now!!!! I agree, let's have more strip clubs. Run by and aimed at teenagers.
Daggers Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 I agree, let's have more strip clubs. Run by and aimed at teenagers. Why would the age of the person running a strip club be important? Come to that - why should teenagers be the only people interested in nude, lithe and pert flesh? If Ghandi were here he'd strongly disapprove of your plan. He wrote the Karma Sutra, apparently. And saved the whale.
MikeyT Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 No it shouldnt be put up here!!! Its a disgrace!!!!! This is Leicester, ENGLAND not bloody India!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asha Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 Come to that - why should teenagers be the only people interested in nude, lithe and pert flesh?If Ghandi were here he'd strongly disapprove of your plan. Not the only people, but we need somewhere where we can go instead of resorting to illegal misleading porno websites. And I'm sure even Gandhi enjoyed a little vagi in the evening.

Why do we have to have things named after foreign people!!!!!! What has Nelson Mandella done to deserve seomthing named after hik in Enlgand?? In South Africa yes, but here...NO!!!!

Lets get the infrastructure right before we fcuk around with stupid statues! Im going now!!!! First off im appalled that a post by Raj almost made sense and was borderline coherent. Secondly, Where the fook is the statue of me?
Raj Posted 6 March 2008 Posted 6 March 2008 Why is that fair enough???This is ENGLAND!!!!! Why do we have to have things named after foreign people!!!!!! Do you want me to change my name to Roger too. Just to make things simpler! St matthews have names of Roads after Canadian Cities(Ie Ottawa Road etc...) Rushey mead have names after golfers(ie Nicholas Drive) should all these be renamed....i mean they arent ENGLISH are they??? First off im appalled that a post by Raj almost made sense and was borderline coherent.Secondly, Where the fook is the statue of me? OI! Just for that you can get the Cappucinos in on Sat!!!

Yes I agree pal & by the way I don't mean to murk Gandhi & don't doubt that he did alot of good but it is known that he was racist towards black africans & had more time than most for Hitler as was brought up by The Singh in the other thread.

I just want to clarify that im not in any way, shape or form a racist!! In case thats what you think i'm implying, because it couldnt be further from the truth! I am proud to be an Englishman and proud to live in England, but the more i look around this country the more i see it changing drastically to fit in with "the modern times". Its the Politically correct brigade that have made it like this. Im not blaming anyone else for it. And i dont think you should change your name to Roger, i think Raj is a cooler name!!
