Dubious

[edit]

"In 2004, a group of Members of Parliament including Tony Banks, proposed a motion that the statue should be removed and melted down. The move was not supported by all, and other MPs suggested that the statue should be moved somewhere else.[1]" The citation given requires a subscription so I have not checked it but this claim seems very doubtful. I presume the cited article is similar to this which refers to an Early Day Motion 1172[2] in which case the wiki article gives far too much weight to a proposal backed by just a handful of MPs.
