Because of the polarisation that a statue of Thatcher will undoubtedly create I would suggest that it would be vandalised on a fairly regular basis if in a public place.

We are told that we have limited funds in the public purse and the cost of repairs would have to be met and thus be a drain on the economy of whichever council area it was placed.

Thus in order to save money the easiest thing to do would be not to have it erected in the first instance.
