The BBC recently has refused to participate in the remembering or honouring of George Orwell, I read a couple of days ago.

You really ought to avoid the Daily Mail.
The BBC said thank you for the offer but there is already a new statue there, could it be put at Portland Place instead.
The statue already there is dedicated to the world service, the set of commisions which produced that statue for the public spaces outside the offices and studios also produced a statue dedicated to ...yes you guessed it...George Orwell.
So the BBC turned down a statue for George Orwell because they refuse to participate in remembering or honouring him...... yet produced their own statue honouring him
Doesn't it really top off the nonsense Skybird swallowed from the Daily Mail that the art they did already put up for Orwell just happens to be about his book 1984.
