I may also have misunderstood: thought it was about the poorly thought-out plan to deter Glasgow's citizens from crowning Wellington's statue with a traffic cone ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-24907190 "Plans to end a long-standing tradition of placing a traffic cone on Glasgow's iconic Duke of Wellington statue have been dropped after a massive backlash. Glasgow City Council wanted to raise the plinth as part of a £65,000 project to refurbish the monument, which stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art. It abandoned the plan after a massive social media campaign saw thousands of people sign a petition opposing it."
