An “important work of art” DESTROYED in a “terrible misunderstanding”

Council now grovelling like everyone else.

The artist, who goes by the name Knapple, said she would repaint the mural on Friday.

She said: “I think it shows a lack of compassion, understanding by the contractors, they didn’t think to query it?”

- artist? Did SHE query whether she had permission for her vandalism?

This must be the most significant "Art" tragedy since that time when Charlie The Throttler's warehouse was burned to the ground, taking such timeless works of drivel like that Modern Art Chancer woman's unmade bed with it.

Make no mistake, this Norwich "graffiti"/High Art hapless dunderhead mix-up will change our nation forever.   

It's just like learning that the Library of Alexandria has burned down, moments after they'd told me to come in and collect my reservation for the lost plays of Sophocles. Yes, it's THAT serious.

Between tears of laughter, I for one am utterly inconsolable.

Shame the contractors were out of magnolia..

Do you think Norwich Council will employ a 24 hour armed guard to stand beside the graffiti when it gets repainted? Such disproportionate action would surely be wholly appropriate in teh circumstances.

weird how the council covered that up but left all the actual graffiti untouched.

Who decides what is art and what is ugly graffiti? If someone dumps a lorry load of rubble in the middle of Norwich and calls it art, will it have to stay? A slippery slope.

People who agree with the artist should put their names down and request she adorns the walls of their houses with the important message.
Who wants it first?

Indeed. You won't find ANY of the nice middle-class White Progressive Lefties, Fake Cheerleaders for 'Black Lives Matter' or the Woke Idiots pretending to be outraged by the killing of George Floyd hurrying to decorate their own property with ludicrous graffiti like that.

Maybe the Government should now take the decision out of their hands, and bring in a law where all future builds will by law have "Back Lives Matter' murals adorning them? I'm sure that umpteen Labour MPs would be more than happy to lend their vote.

He's got a hall, stairs and landing to do in the morning, but is hoping to get there late afternoon.  Reckons an hour will kill it.

The council said it lit up its city hall in purple on Thursday to show solidarity with the Minneapolis community following Mr Floyd’s death.

The spokesman said: “We do not consider this in any way to be offensive graffiti, we consider it an important work of art.

“We denounce racism in the strongest terms and stand in solidarity with members of the BAME community in Norwich, across the country and globally.

“We would like to commission the artist to reinstate the artwork.”

The artist, who goes by the name Knapple, said she would repaint the mural on Friday.

She said: “I think it shows a lack of compassion, understanding by the contractors, they didn’t think to query it?”

If I painted something on a wall with an "A.C.A.B." reference (which shows up clearly in this example) I'd expect it to be taken down/covered and also to be in trouble after admitting it was me that did it.....

The spokesman said: “We do not consider this in any way to be offensive graffiti..."

I'd be pretty jarred off if I was a copper.....

you think coppers shouldn't be accountable for their actions?

I was referring to the All Coppers Are B...... in the painting, Porc.

But yes I do believe they should be accountable....

Someone murdered abroad and our Police should see graffiti saying they need to be accountable? This has nothing to do with our Police.

Yes, just as police should be accountable for their actions, so should the thousands of cretins and thugs who scandalously broke Lockdown this last few weeks, to take part in ludicrous 'protests' (i.e. riots) concerning Mr Dominic Cummings and Mr George Floyd. Their actions inexplicably left unchallenged by the liberal British media that simultaneously wants the Lockdown to continue. 

Needless to say, the vast majority of those 'protestors' wouldn't be able to pick at least one of Cummings and Floyd out of an identity parade. 

If 'Blue Peter; is still going strong, maybe they could start a 'Black Lives Matter' graffiti competition, with a special black Blue Peter badge for the winner, and the winning design to adorn the exterior of all BBC property? 

It all goes to show just how prescient Spinal Tap were. Around 40 years ahead of their time with their "Smell The Glove" album cover.

No massive protests for this one. Couldn't possibly be because he's white.

Double standards do not apply to lefties, ta.

Hypocrite

Was Mr Timpa a Home invading Drug Addict and dealer ?? That could be the missing link .

Bigmo, You're a great guy, I doon't want to be arguing with you or causing you discomfort. Thankyou for your work and outstanding contribution to bring people a smile with your joke thread. etc.

But did you Protest ?

Are you outraged because somebody died in police custody or because somebody else, Like you, didn't protest about it?

As for the Mural what an absolute foooking disaster ...


That it will be repainted .

they just want to divert from issues anytime anything is brought up. They don't care about people like the guy in the article and just want to use it to own the lefties and the libs.

They would be the same people that haul up any sort of bad thing anything that any of these people had done if they were black. They have no stance or principles when it comes to opposing police brutality and if posts from most people over the past week are anything to go by, most people actively support it.

the protests might be under the Black Lives Matter umbrella but the same groups are the only ones campaigning against Police brutality in general. There were 2 other cases brought up by people on here that were white people killed by police, the only activism and highlighting of the case it was by these same groups. One of the policemen in one of the cases just so happened to Somali-American so all the "lefties don't care about whites!!" types focused on this aspect of it rather than the fact of another police abuse of power (also funnily enough, this officer was one of very few who actually got time for a killing)

and these protests can be a good thing to shine a light on other stories like that because otherwise the same injustices will continue to happen. it's probably a near certainty that none of these people would have mentioned Tony Timpa's name until they can expose what they believe is a hypocrisy and not because they actually are against the kind of things the police do.

Any Idea why I have never Heard of Mr Timpa Aaronh , till today ???

Is because he was a mentallly ill white man ??

maybe the white community is too cucked to protest against the police when they do bad things

Is there much Police brutality in this country? Probably not. Some people just feel obliged to show us how caring they are and will jump on any bandwagon to do so. This was a man who attacked a lone woman with a gun in his hand. Our young feministas out on the streets either don't care about her, or are willing to look the other way in the name of politics.

I suggest the Lads on here Set up a Go Fund me page for the restorration of the Mural .. Dig Deep lads

No I didn't protest and wouldn't. What happened to George Floyd was disgusting. All I'm trying to point out possibly badly is that everyone should be equal. I'm getting tired of being told by the media etc that I should be ashamed to be white.

Were there masses of blacks protesting the white guy's death.

Very intelligent woman on that video Bigmo, hits the nail on the head a few times.

bigmo must have posted a different video that the one described as Candace Owens is certainly not intelligent and just a paid grifter for conservatives who love a black woman who will tell old people she isn't like the other blacks

you don't care about the white guy, and neither does anyone else who brings him up in response to BLM. if there had been huge protests everyone here would probably have just said the police probably killed him for some reason and maybe he was being violent or whatever no doubt

it's a common theme that these injustices are suddenly picked up by the right when other injustices are called out

just very unoriginal concern trolling really

only the people at these protests now would ever stand up for the guy you linked, because all the other cowards who would bring him up at this point in time never would

if you look at the mural a bit closer you could say its a hate protest and unlawful

All Cops Are accountaBle = ACAB and not ACAA

we all know what ACAB means

and i have used that term when younger less so now and have chanted it written graffiti with it etc

but never used it in a racist way

So what's the answer?

So obviously unless you're out protesting don't dare have a view.

I really don't understand how much of an inferiority complex or weirdo vision and understanding of things someone must have to think you should be ashamed to be white. It's a fairytale majorily spread among the always self-victimising faux conservatives.

It's just ****g social media faux conservative grifters telling you these things.

in the hooligan days there was a law about riotous assembly the police could arrest you for unrest even though you had done nothing wrong as the crowd was deemed to be ritous and unlawful then anyone within it were breaking the law not sure if that same law exists

Does porcypine think our Police should be insulted on walls in pubic places?

I'm not ashamed to be white just mentioning the relentless opinion from the social media and the msm.

But they don't. That the media relentlessly want you to be ashamed of being white is just a fairy tale created by the alt and new right grifter clowns on social media.

the only place that is relentless opinion is from the aforementioned self-victimising faux conservatives

like, the known liar and shill you posted a video from

In you're opinion and remember that's not fact it's just your opinion and you're wrong.

AaaronH

I've no idea who this candace williams is you're calling a shill, But I look and see you have posted
274,000 Posts !!!! and think it is you that is far more likely to be the Shill

if you do the maths, that works out at 1 post every 10 minutes, 12 hours a day for 11 YEARS

You need t think about this and consider the possibility you might need some help.
Something is not balanced in your life, it can and does happen to all of us.
It would seem it has happened to you.


I'm not having a go at you, please think about it.

Why bring it up repeatedly and in bold if you are not having a go?

just because everyone else on the forum are old boomers who probably type with 1 finger doesn't mean i am when it comes to typing posts

Well, she did start out trying to find money with a liberal website that posted anti-Trump stuff, and with a project that monitored people on social media for posting nasty words (which is quite creepy).

Didn't work out, she did a 180 and found gold as a faux conservative grifter.

It's a bit like those Spiked Online folks who turned from marxist to weirdo libertarians when they sniffed the money.

Do you have a sneaking admiration for famous Austrians edy? Like Schwarzenegger?

Ok, you said "reactionary", but I really think it should be distinguished more. We shouldn't keep conflating the loons with the proper, awesome right-wing. The loons want that. The loons want to continue hijacking the right. They want to be recognised as the right. We mustn't allow them because ultimately they will destroy everything.

free thinkers then

Will the persons responsible for reporting the "important work of art" as graffiti, and the person(s) who painted over it have to go on some sort of court-approved Social Justice Brain Re-engineering training, so they never repeat their "terrible misunderstanding" I wonder ?

Fair enough, edy, but he's wrong. I have only ever defended soft conservatives like Mrs. Thatcher and centrists like Johnson.

I think he was referring to your love-affair with the likes of Orban.

But I know you are not one of the weirdos, don't worry.

I don't recall ever mentioning Orban. I'm sure your search engine will find it if I have.

We had that short debate about Orban and his dog whistle anti-semitic politics at the end of April. You don't remember shared, precious moments like that?

We have so many shared moments, edy, despite the lockdown. I honestly don't remember.

Do you like my cat edy? he's on the historical racism confessional thread.

True

As I said anyway, while you sometimes sound like you ignore authoritarian tendencies when it comes from people you share a mortal enemy with, like the EU, you are far, far, far, far, far removed from being one of the weirdo faux free thinking wannabe conservatives that strangely Chit Chat attracts like moths (or maybe not attract, but who simply stuck around while they relentlessly drove many of the perfectly reasonable posters that were in your mould away). In that regard, Aaron's criticism, and me calling it a love affair with Orban, was probably not fair.

That's a really cute cat, Foinavon! The story sounds more like it's a neighbour's cat though?

He's a feral cat and has been around a few years. I feed him as he drives away the rats. I chase away the neighbours' cats as they want to rob him of food while he is away on amorous pursuits since he always comes back.
