Stunning piece of design...

Giant horse to become £2m artwork:

OK, so how long did it take him to design that?

"Ermmm.. I know, how about a giant horse? Yeah, lets make it 33 times bigger" Job done in as long as it took me to write that.

Then they make a model and unveil........ a small horse

Good grief!

That's the sttest artist impression I've ever seen

[Hedders]

I could see the funny side if it had been an elephant.

[FourWheelDrift]

We already have quite a few white horses as artwork, why do we need another?

[scotal]

I thought it weas meant to be like the horse on Kent's crest (think a chavvy cavalino rampante) not like an over sized My little pony. That will look fking awful.

[GTIR]

I know sad isnt it.

I dont see the connection, a horse, Kent?

Shirley it would be better to have a giant grape, or a flower or any "garden of England" product, not a bloody animal.

That would look great in Newmarket, or Chepstow.

A load of ill-advised politicos said:

Victoria Pomery, chairman of the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project's selection panel, said their decision was based on "artistic merit".

She added: "Mark is a schoolboy model-maker of world renown and his sculpture will become a real laughing stock for Ebbsfleet and the whole region."

You've been to Swanscombe? They eat pikeys in Swanscombe.

I'm sure the taxpayers will be delighted in this well-chosen use of the Council Tax. Any concomitant massaging of senior Concillor's egos and CVs is of course entirely coincidental. I mean, having enough salt to put on the roads is really boring...

[crmcatee]

So this is for welcoming foreigners to the UK is it - why is it 30 minutes up from the entrance then ?


Trojan horse anyone ?

I think this is the first sign of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Three other horses will pop up next, red, black and pale green.

I always knew Armageddon would start in Kent.

Its nothing to do with Public Money Simpo...
Eurostar, London & continental Railways and Land securities are paying for it. But its still dreadful.
"Oh Look a giant statue of a stupid looking horse.... golly makes you proud to be in Kent dunnit"

Have they thought that at some angle someone is going to be staring at a 50 metre high sculture of a horse's arse?

Kent, the Armageddon of England

Oh well fair enough, if they've got nothing better to spend it on - like improving rolling stock or lowering prices.

[FourWheelDrift]

If they want to celebrate Kent as the garden of England to visitors they should commission a giant sculpture of a carrot flanked by 2 potatoes.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Silly BBC.


If you can't trust the BBC who can you trust?
