Across from the freewheeling and rebel student statue of Oliver Goldsmith we have Edmund Burke… and he couldn’t be more different.
In fact this guy is considered to be the man who created Conservatism as a political Ideology! He must have been boring as hell!
This statue matches the other quite well and the sit nicely in the spaces they are given. Many people walk by these to get a snap. I always wonder if they really care that much… or if they understand why he is there. because even when you look into it you realise that as a college and as a country we didn’t have the numerous Monarchs or famous scientists to put on plinths around the city… those we do have are fantastic. but it is the more obscure works like these that really force you to look into their past…
He founded the oldest student society in the world «The Hist» and was an avid debater… he would go on to be and MP and object to the French Revolution.
Invented conservatism?! Eeee-​gaz he musta worn socks with sandals.
