Honestly, it's (almost) enough to restore your faith in politicians:
BBC: Gormley's statues stay out to sea
The 100 cast iron men statues fixed into the sand on a Merseyside beach are to stay.
The figures on Crosby beach, collectively called Another Place, are cast from a mould of artist Antony Gormley's body… Mr Gormley said he was "absolutely delighted" with the decision, made at a council meeting on Wednesday night.
The council heard objections from HM Coastguard, conservation agency Natural England, and certain residents who claimed to be offended by statues with flaccid knobs, then decided Bollocks to that! Those things are totally cool and are staying put.
Fantastic.
Seriously, if you get a chance, go to see them before some idiot politician changes their mind.
