Two Famous Oxford Statues

Do you know where this statue is in Oxford?  Can you complete the statue's wish?

I wish......I could leave!
If only.......I could say something to the tourists!
If only...... I could say what I feel

Further practice with mixed wishes:
If only.......those people would stop shouting!
I wish.... people below would stop taking all those photos!
I wish..... I hadn't been put here!

Have you seen this life-like statue in the centre of Oxford?
