As a work of art, I quite like the National Icon Whitewashing & Appropriation Project, or, as some people are calling it, the ‘Statue of Unity’. I like the way the metal has been tricked into soft folds of cloth and crinkly skin, and how it towers all Game of Thrones-y over the landscape, like a visual shout. Well done.
On the other hand I’d also quite like a nice sports car, but you don’t see me forcing everyone in the country to pay for it on the grounds that it’s good for them, do you?
