May 15, 2022 - A statue of Margaret Thatcher was revealed without ceremony in Grantham, in the UK, to avoid the 13,000 people who had vowed to hold an egg-throwing contest at the grand opening. However, as soon as word got out that the statue had been placed the first person carrying a carton of eggs showed up. The first of what will surely be many.

If you are ever near Grantham, why not go visit and egg or vandalise the statue yourself? [video]

You said this thing that really stuck with me Back when you were in my life On the tube, everyone's ugly Guess it’s the unforgiving light

In your shoebox apartment Are you picking out an outfit To go out and eat gyoza in the park? And when the umbrella's open You should know that nothing's hopeless And I’m sending you a foggy shower screen heart I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you (I—)

And now it's two AM in Tokyo There's cherry blossom in your hair You always were the least happy child I always thought that wasn't fair

And you always hid your sadness With the smoothest sleight of hand You were a TV talent show disappearing act And the Elvis' impersonators Crowding at the elevators Reminds you of a private joke we had

I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can’t be without you

’Cause I miss your bones selfishly I need you next to me, I'm spiraling I miss your bones selfishly I need you next to me, I’m spiralling

I— I— I— I— I can't be without you Oh, I— I— I— I— I can't be without you

The bronze statue of Margaret Thatcher was placed on its 10ft high plinth earlier today in Grantham.

Within two hours it was egged. The Tories are whining and crying.

They finally erected the statue during the worst cost of living crisis in decades, honouring a fascist who's mostly responsible for the current state of the UK and beyond. They're lucky it's only been egged so far.

With its opulent regency decor, and stunning 18th century hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, The King’s Room was one of my favourites during my recent tour of Belvoir Castle. The wallpaper in this suite of rooms, plus a deep dive into the Castle’s archives, was the inspiration behind one de Gournay’s most recent projects, de Gournay x Belvoir, which now adorns one of the Castle’s State Bedrooms. @belvoircastle @degournay #belvoir #belvoircastle #leicestershire #grantham #castle #countryhome #countryhouse #englishcountryhouse #englishcountryhousestyle #sibylcolefaxandjohnfowler #colefaxandfowler #degournay #chinoiserie #handpaintedwallpaper #chinesewallpaper #18thcentury #interior #interiors #decor #decoration #interiordecor #interiordecorating #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #regency #regencyera #daybed #antique #antiquefurniture #flowers (at Belvoir Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CosPL1aoEEM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
