To paraphrase the incomparable wit of the immortal basil fawlty

'Nothing trivial I hope'

All of the buildings that bear his name are monuments to this outrageously arrogant boor.

All that said I would hate to think that anyone was seriously hurt.

A bonfire of his vanity is all decent people want to see
