Pointless. Irrelevant. Waste of money. Like all the Nelson Mandela sculptures that appeared a few years ago.

The funding for this would have been better served actually helping the countries and real people directly affected by the Tsunami. "Reflecting the grief and feelings of the UK people" is absolutely irrelevant.

for context i have private eye open next to me and it says the annual cost of the girls' football Centre of Excellence at Crewe Alexandra is £34,000. you could run it for over 16 years on the money spent on this rock

Hey, love. Did your sculpture came 7 years too late?

Why can't commissions like this be given to sculptors and artists?

Not saying an architect can't design a memorial, but when they do it always seems to be too concerned with form and lacking all poetry.
