Bancroft - yes.
I might later change it to a pic of Orac. However, it's hard to find a flattering photo of it.

Seems lack of sensitivity in staging this piece of art in Bexhill-on-Sea unless of course the plan is to cause trouble. The country is littered with these sorts of provocations intended by the identity group concerned to communicate their sense of entitlement. Like this one in Bristol:
Aside from the fist action, I don't mind this one. Its a pretty good statue. It's in proportion, has a good level of detail, and not garish as hell like your first one. Looks like it was made by someone who knew what they were doing, again, unlike the first one. |

Colston's statue was a pretty good statue but as we are now finding out if someone objects to any sort of memorial, where the person or event memorialised is of questionable morality to any person viewing it, there now comes a potential right to tear it down, deface it and throw it into the garbage. |

But what about the provocation of installing the monstrosity in the first place? Isn’t that an act of vandalism in itself? No. I rather like the sculpture. It is very striking and makes me want to look at it. I think that's a success for the artist. |

Lefties poking and prodding for a reaction then gaslighting and claiming victimhood when they get one . There seems to be a pattern here 😁 Sooner or later there's going to be a reaction the government police and woke lefties wont be able to contain. |

Then you'd have the pleasure of looking at it every day. |

What exactly is this statue supposed to be commemorating, BLM, black power? Do weak & feeble lefties kneel and weep before it as they beg forgiveness for their white privilage. Like the monstrosity at Bexhill the intention seems to be, to provoke. |

There are some right little scrotes in Bexhill, hundreds had to turn out and clean it up. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-65663490 |

I don’t know why anyone gets wound up by these statues,they’re all like the one turfed in the water in Bristol no one looked at them and they’re just perches for pigeons and somewhere for them to drop their crap. |

Neither do I, this statue envy is getting out of control. Like you say they are just pigeon crapping perches. |

I watched some again quite recently and re-confirmed that it's a better watch (for me) than something like Star Trek. The control room in Blake's Seven actually looks very plausible when compared to the Star Trek flight deck. The characters also have proper disputes. |

It is very striking and makes me want to look at it. I think that's a success for the artist. Ned, do you think a huge sculpture of a white person would ever be placed in a predominantly black area? Say the same sculpture that appeared in Bexhill, appeared in Slough or Newham, in white. What do you think the reaction would be? I do realise it's a nonsense question because it would never happen. To place such a statue in an area of high black density would be seen as horrific racist provocation, and no doubt the riots would continue until the statue was removed and the prime minister made a public apology in which the inevitable inquiry would be announced. And people say Enock was a racist for saying "the black man will have the whip hand". |

In slough, they'd quickly whip out an application to obtain city status, take a photo, and put it on the front of their bid to become the next UK City of Culture |

I like it, and as Colbops suggests, I'd be happy to have it looking out onto the North Sea near me, rather than to the Channel, if the people of Bexhill are so enraged. |
