Ronald Reagan to be Honored with a Statue in London

The Gipper will be immortalized in statuary in London:

An interior designer from Chelsea who is a leading light in the Thatcherite Conservative Way Forward group has won approval for a statue of the great American conservative Ronald Reagan to be erected outside the US Embassy in London. The project was given the nod on Thursday night by Westminster City Council’s planning sub-committee in a break with its policy of allowing memorials only to people who have been dead for at least ten years. The former US President died in 2004 aged 93.

Just thinking about Reagan makes me misty-eyed. He was a man who cared about his country. He cared about freedom for people all over the world. He was sharp enough to avoid falling for nonsense like the global warming hoax. The current occupant of the white house posseses none of those qualities.
