    Wrong.  That only started at the end of the 1990's!

    The fourth plinth is the northwest plinth in Trafalgar Square in central London. Was built in 1841.

    It was originally intended to hold an equestrian statue of William IV, but remained bare due to insufficient funds.

    In 1998,  three contemporary sculptures were commissioned to be displayed temporarily on the plinth.

    A tradition that has been continued till today!

    (the above has ben edited) 

    Fourth plinth - Wikipedia

     

    So, I am not wrong then, cos as stated it is used as rotating art piece.... the tradition that continues till today 🙂 

     

     

    "The fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square has been used for a wide variety of art projects. 

    Many such projects are currently being considered, and the Mayor of London has not, and does not, express any opinion on them."

     

    Fake outrage from GBNews snd The Express, to get idiots frothed up

    Plenty of bigotry from the Wokeists.

     

    Let's start with their attitude towards...

     

    • Jews/Israel.
    • Conservatives (especially if they are black, cue the "Uncle Tom" and "superficially black" insults).
    • Cultural appropriation (one direction only, they have no issue with black women straightening their hair for example).
    • Those who reject identity politics.
    • "Positive" discrimination (a synonym for supporting discrimination against white people).
    • People who believe in the nation state/borders.
    • People who believe in biological reality e.g. believe women do not have male genitalia or that men cannot be pregnant.

    In fact, pretty much anyone who does not subscribe to their own Woke beliefs.

     

    I'd argue the more Woke someone is, the more bigoted they are.

     

    As for educated and enlightened? I'd say ignorant, dogmatic, sanctimonious, pretentious, gullible and neophilic are more accurate descriptions. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Criticism of Israel doesn't make you anti Jewish

    Toughen up, snowflake

    Only idiots go on about cultural appropriation, and hardly anyone does, just more fake outrage

    Conservatives love identify politics - look at Trump supporters

    Again, mostly made up bs and isolated cases, no systemic oppression of white people, as I as a hardcore lefty would call it out if it happened

    People have different opinions on borders sometimes, suck it up, that is what free speech is about

    Just cos yo don't understand actual biology, doesn't mean we have to humor your ignorance

     

    Like most conservatives you come across as very fragile

    I think you misunderstood. 🙄

    The anti-British in the UK, which includes SK, will love Queen Elizabeth II's memorial not being put on the plinth..... 

    Is that clearer for you...........🤭

     

     

    Ah so you are just making up some fake outrage over something that isn't happening, cos it was always destined to be a rotating art piece, but you carry on

    The outrage, the self stoked grievance fed outrage of it all.

     

    The Express assumes its readers can be diverted by the use of the word ‘woke’ from recollecting that a 1998 public consultation, commissioned by the Secretary of State and undertaken by Sir John Mortimer concluded the Fourth Plinth should be reserved for the display of continually replaced artwork and should not be used for the placement of any permanent statue.

     

    The Forth Plinth has since become a popular visitor destination for art lovers and tourists alike.

     

     

     

    Can't let facts get in the way of the outrage machine. How will the poor little snowflake gammons survive without raging at "the woke" every morning over their cornflakes?

    yes but I don't think it's as high as you make out ...  you won't see any nutters laying around streets in Singapore.  You won't see anyone high as a kite walking around Singapore. You won't hear of any gold shop robberies because he needed to buy drugs ...  and so on.

    Singapore has strict laws and policies when it's comes to drug use and possession.

    They live by the rule that ...  if you use drugs don't come to Singapore.    They have the correct response and society's thinking on drug use imo.       anyway, each to his own.

     

    Sorry the facts don't care about your feels

    yes ... but not in Singapore ...

     

    Don't think so "Unfortunately, CNB’s latest figures show that the number of new drug abusers remains high. Although there is an overall improvement in Singapore’s drug situation, there is still a record-high number of drug abusers. Individuals, who are aged between 20 and 29, continue to form the largest group of drug abusers in Singapore."
