"Stephen, an RAF Flight Sergeant and a sixth-former at Oxted School in Surrey, said he hopes one day to become a fast jet pilot"

Que? Perhaps he is in the ATC or the CCF? If not, then how does he combine A-levels with his time sandy/rocky side?

Stephen, an RAF Flight Sergeant and a sixth-former at Oxted School in Surrey, who hopes one day to become a fast jet pilot said: "It's amazing to be able to look down at people going about their daily business.".

If the education debate is anything to go by, he'll fit in nicely as an officer.

(Only joking, and Stephen - well done and good luck)

"I recognise that this revolving programme has proved very popular with the public and I welcome the important contribution it has made in shaping public debate about contemporary art." Mr Johnson said he would talk to campaigners to find "the best option available for them in view of these circumstances".

The only revolving that would be popular with this member of the public is to revolve all the modern art off this plinth and replace it with Sir Keith Park's statue for good. We would then have two military heroes celebrated in the same location for saving this country from tyranny. Come on Boris, you weren't elected to revolve but to resolve!
