Meanwhile in China

[FourWheelDrift]

No not another building collapse.

They have built a giant gold (coloured) statue of Mao, it's 120ft high and cost £300,000, which is suprisingly cheap, but then it looks cheap. I'd imagine our out of touch government civil servants and politicians being fleeced for millions for something similar here. Not Mao of course, unless your name is Corbyn.

Built in a province that suffered millions of deaths under Mao's rule. That'll teach them, all hail the giant Lurpak Butter Man.



For another £300,000 they could have fitted laser eyes.



Edited due to people who just can't help themselves pointing out the smallest missed error.

Yes well done, give yourself a biscuit.

[Bill]

Is he taking a dump?

[Oakey]

Oh I've seen this before, you have to blow it up as part of the final mission

It does look a bit "Serious Sam".

Perhaps it's ISIS bait.

New sewage treatment plant. Waste comes out that back hole and fresh water via the pipe.

[FourWheelDrift]

He's even got a spare head (down on the right). Some might even say he was two-faced.

[FurtiveFreddy]

Has he got his 'serious' head on in that photo?

[mickk]

His shoes look like up-turned casserole bowls.

I really should post this debacle one of the planning permission threads on here...

They look terribly uncomfortable. That could explain his apparent anger towards and subsequent genocide of the Chinese people.

That's probably the first time someone has blamed genocide on the poor choice of footwear.

They plan to have a smaller statue of Dung Xiaoping underneath.

[Jasandjules]

Is that a copy of the Lincoln Memorial?!?!

[Murph7355]

Looks like a Dilbert character.

[AJS-]

Very tasteful.

Impressive economy though. £300,000 for that or £800,000 20 years ago for the pile of misshapen rust called the Angel of the North which is less than half the height of the golden genocidal maniac and represents nothing that ever happened anywhere, as far as I can tell.

So Ratners are big in china now. I wondered where he had gone to.
