Queen Elizabeth II statue to be built in Wales

Place it on the Second Severn Bridge opposite the statue for Alun Cairns

This is a story where you find that the usual 'waste of money' screamers go silent.

Statues to remind us of "us and them". No thanks. Just keep them in England. Another thing imposed on the majority by a minority. Who are these people? The money could be wisely spent on the living not a dead and extremely wealthy woman who probably knew very little about reality.

She was not Elizabeth "Second". There was no Elizabeth "First" of the "UK". That is - unless you erase and replace the history of Scotland, Ireland, Wales AND the "UK" with the history of England. But that would be cultural and political tyranny ....wouldn't it?

When will the English shed their Imperialist trappings. Delusions of past grandeur, we have all moved on, the monarchy is an irrelevance. Just another vestige of empire to remove when we eventually manage to break away!

The English Empire is something that should be shamed for invading and colonising 200 countries around the world. Their royal family may be one of their few diminishing reminders of those dark days, but they have nothing whatsoever to do with this country.

Is this a good idea?

How long until this gets vandalised is the question, imposing a statue of a foreign monarch on us. Llywelyn and Owain's blood are the only true monarchs of this land.

Can she be holding hands with Paddington to commemorate her spectacular trolling of Boris Johnson when she had tea with an illegal immigrant who arrived by small boat.

Good to see English colonialism is alive and kicking.

She also threw Andy a get out of jail 12 million.

The Statue in Cymru should be at a Civil Amenities and Household Rubbish Site

Can they not grasp how completely embarrassing it is for the good people of Cymru to be roped in with these deviant inbreds? Perhaps put it in a dog park somewhere so that pooches can have somewhere to cock their legs?

New target for avian excrement acquired

This is a terrible image. To quote the unlamented Rolf H she looks like pork butcher from Norwich not Elizabeth Windsor

Seeing that the remembrance garden & statue to the late Queen in London is being built at great cost to the British taxpayer, and is reportedly between £26–£46 million (likely the higher end if HS2 is anything to go by in England), I think any money could be better spent on tackling child poverty here in Wales rather than be wasted on an inanimate object that will likely end up being an expensive pigeon perch.

Wonderful, a celebratory statue of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha royal lineage. Well, that will certainly allay any fears that anyone here had about English Labour not wanting to understand our own culture.The only reason they had to change their family name to the name of their house was because of the less-than-ideal history their family and their serfs had of not invading other European countries.I am somewhat embarrassed that it was our own Lloyd George who suggested the change of name to them.
