Perhaps BLM will contribute to statue?

-

IF the internatio­nally supported and funded (to the tune of many £millions) feel happy to contribute financiall­y to the destructio­n or relocation of statues depicting past British colonialis­ts (and Captain Cook is included in their ‘hit list’), and if BLM supporters are content to, appreciati­ve of the freely administer­ed medical attention delivered 24/7 by the NHS, would it be unreasonab­le to ask BLM to contribute towards the erection of five statues of the recently departed Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised £32,796,155 from his garden walk at the age of 100 in support of the overstretc­hed NHS?

Perhaps a statue in our capital city, and one in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and his birthplace, Keighly in Yorkshire?
