LONDON — An improbable plan to build a 250-foot statue of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been launched by college students.

If it ever gets constructed, the "iron colossus" at the University of Kent in Southeast England would be twice the height of the Statue of Liberty (from base to torch) and almost as tall as the U.S. Capitol.

It would be rendered in iron — mirroring Thatcher's nickname "The Iron Lady" — and placed on a 50-foot high marble pedestal.

The estimated cost? A mere £300 million (around $425 million), according to backers.

Why bother, ISIS will just destroy it once they take over.

Its the thought that counts as it's was "launched by college students".
