In what way is this statue state sanctioned?

It's on display in downtown London dude. Also who do you think paid for it?

  • It was erected surreptitiously in the dead of night. That does not imply state approval.

    As for who paid for it, I don't know, possibly the extremely successful and wealthy artist who created it.

    If you have any evidence to the contrary, by all means present it.

    • It not being taken down yet implies state approval (4 days now?). It's on Pall Mall ffs, right near a statue of a King

      It's not like the wealthiest city in the UK is lacking in resources to do something about it.

  • It's not government funded or planned. Although the establishment seems to like it unlike that one on the law courts.
