It was in June 2010 that I posted about this work by Jimmy Boyle called Mankind Under Threat. At the time I ranted a bit about how the bars had been removed presumably by Hull City Council. I emailed the Council and complained but that did no good; so I emailed the company that sponsored the project but I got no reply. Well I don't know if was my moaning that did the trick but the bars are back. Let's hope the metal thieves don't find out about them.
I'd like to thank a local group called Hull Art, in particular Tim Everett, for alerting me to this pleasant turn of events.
Well done, sometimes it takes a bit of complaining to get things done. It's good to see the statue in it's intended form.
