I'd put a mortar on it, targeted at number 10. I'd make it interactive too, so anyone passing by could take a go and letting the current incumbent know how the public really feels about them.

I say demolish the silly thing altogether and, in doing so, scrap the tedious "what should go on the empty plinth?" industry that has grown up around it. 
Oh, and this would have the added welcome effect of getting rid of the equally tedious and inane "what about a statue of plinth charles?" suggestions that oh-so-hilarious readers send into the papers whenever this vacuous debate is raised for the umpteenth time.

God you're a miserable bastard. It's the only plinth in all of London that anyone notices or talks about or gets any enjoyment from discussing.

Yeah, but it's just the same old circular, never-concluded debate that just serves to give media-pundits a job.Brainaddict said:God you're a miserable bastard. It's the only plinth in all of London that anyone notices or talks about or gets any enjoyment from discussing. How terrible

When the Queen pops her clogs, they're gonna put a statue of her on the plinth. Until then, there's going to be a new statue every once in a while.poster342002 said:
If you're sick of 'what should go on the plinth?' debates, you'll have to assasinate Her Maj.

Maybe so, but it's not the same exhibit on the plinth is it. It changes, hence the same old circular, never-concluded debate.
And if you don't like it, then if Gormley wins, you can apply to stand up there for an hour and rant about it

- it's been decided that for now it will be a series of temporary exhibits. It gets people talking about art and it's quite refreshing to have a spot in the centre of London that changes and wasn't set in stone (literally) in Victorian times or earlier.And I'm pretty sure the media pundits had jobs before the fourth plinth exhibits started

Same as. In fact, if Gormley wins, maybe we should sneakily send in Roadkill's name to see if he gets a slot

None of these suggestions are in keeping with the military victory theme, so why not have Simon Weston. Not a statue though. As a concession to the iconoclasts, let's have the actual Simon Weston, in a cage

I'm not sure poster would be happy about having a SECOND plinth to discuss

Unless it was a very strange projectile, it would have to go through several other offices and pubs/cafes and a theatre to get there, though!

No it wouldn't - mortars fire ballistically (upwards and curving) as opposed to horizontally, like an RPG...all a mortar is, is a small, portable artillary weapon...

Not to mention No. 70 where I used to work
and anyway, it would only be a Witherspoons pub
