A well-endowed statue, an inspiration to all who walk into Stormont, each day. Huge, and we pass, unanimously, a bill, to make, a great big beautiful statue. Otherwise, you'd be making a statue for the Second greatest man. It will fill every family with cheer, with delight, because each one of you will soon live in a country that has a statue, of the best and greatest Northern Irishman to have ever lived. So we gather today to her today in what I think, maybe the most important day in the history of Northern Ireland, the passing of this motion, a great motion. We need to honour his legacy, and a statue will stand forever as an eternal tribute, to that glory, until some nutter comes and tears it down.

But I know greatness when I see it, I see it every day in the mirror when I shave, and I know /u/HenryJohnTemple was a great man. I would never make a motion making a statue for me, even though I deserve one. Working Class hero, I know, I know, to come and talk about this motion, I made. I am here today as what, according to the Sun Newspaper, which I own, the most popular man in Britain. He said he would take the motion, and I was like - Wow! I know Kef, strange guy, always talking about internet memes, never about statues, very sad. At first, I wondered if Kef, the Speaker here, a renowned person who does not appreciate beautiful statues, would think. There can be no better place to say this, than here in this great majestic and beautiful place, this chamber of Stormont. Thank you, thank you all so much for your support. That's why I made this motion, a great motion, to make a great big beautiful statue of /u/HenryJohnTemple, a great man, outside Stormont. They are working so hard, every day, believe me. Let us also, on this, a Tuesday, thank our veterans, our police officers and our leaders - both present and former. Greejatus paused whilst people awkwardly stood and clapped. So stand up with me now, and let's applaud the men and women of our services, come on. It is only right to show our appreciation for greatness. As we read this motion today, I want to wish you all a happy Tuesday and remind you all in humble remembrance, how far we have come. Members of the assembly, guests, and big hello to you all in the gallery, thank you. To the leader of the BONO movement, thank you.
