Remove a statue outside the BBC sculptured by a known pedophile Eric Gill

The Issue

Mr Sadiq Khan there is one statue in London that needs removing whilst we are removing statues It's infront of the BBC building called Prospero and Ariel sculptured by
Eric Gill a known convicted pedophile.

The BBC have been asked to remove it for years but refuse to do so why? 

This stands in front of the Broadcasting House A naked child. 
The Sculptor's diary revealed he molested two of his daughters, and family dog,
He also had an incestuous relationship with his younger sister Gladys.

Sexual abuse charity says it is 'an insult' to keep the statue on display.

Fay Maxted, chief executive of The Survivors' Trust, which supports survivors of rape and childhood sexual abuse, told the London Journalism Centre: 'It's an insult to allow a work like this to remain in such a public place.

'It is almost mocking survivors.
