A £24,000 statue of Greta Thunberg installed at a university has sparked anger among students who have branded it a "vanity project".
The University of Winchester believes it is the world's first life-sized sculpture of the "inspirational" Swedish environmental activist.
But the students' union said the funds could have been better spent.
The university said "no money was diverted" from student support or staffing for the project.
President of Winchester Student Union Megan Ball described Thunberg as a "fantastic role model to everyone, as someone who speaks loudly and proudly about important global issues" but said the union could not support the sculpture.

When the world needs to turn to 16-year-old's for wisdom, we are all fucked. She ain't no Joan of Arc.

Of course, students wailing that "You should have spent that money on US!" is not a very inspiring picture either.

Still, I agree with the students. The money could have been better spent.

I bet she hasn't even been laid yet.

Planting a tree (or thorn bush) in her honor would have been less environmentally damaging.

Cheaper too.

What could possibly be more "inspirational" to university students than a girl who flunked out of middle school?

Don't underestimate pedophiles. Some hollywood deviant has probably already nailed her.

This sculpture looks like a little better for Greta
