Poor victim. What a cowardly crime.
What are the structures in the photo? I haven’t been to Churchill Sq for some time so haven’t seen them. With a bit more cover they could be a modern version of the French pi**oir, or shouldn’t I put ideas into peoples’ heads.
You haven’t seen those two statues? They’ve been there for twenty years!
