  It seems that the Brazilian government want to advertise their games. They've put in a planning application for a 30 foot statue in the style of that in Rio to be placed on top of Primrose Hill.
  
  

  

  
  
  Whatever next?

  The local councils could just set their lawn-mowers down a tad?

  I know it is years since I have been to Primrose Hill but I fail to see why such a statue needs to be erected to spoil the area. If Brazil wants another Christ statue let them put it up in front of their embassy or better still in Brazil.
