Plinth Charming

I've had a prominent link to it on the FOCD homepage for a couple of weeks now, but it occurs to me that I probably should also have written about it in the weblog…

There's an online petition to UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, to commission a statue of Charles Darwin to occupy the vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square. The petition is for UK citizens/residents only. Get over there and sign it, you chaps! (And don't forget to put FCD after your names!)

Citizens! Doesn't Downing Street know there is no such thing as a British citizen? No, in this twenty-first of centuries, we are still officially British subjects (of Her Majesty).
