really ffs what? Beast is written 3 times, all below the top of window height, same as the symbol.The 'beast' scrawl is higher up, the masonic imagery done lower down. Likely the persons did not wish to climb again when doing the pyramid and eye. Really, ffs.
That is unbelievably misogynist
fwiw, according to The Sun "They branded Savile ‘beast’ and ‘worst c***’ in huge black letters over the Glencoe cottage.I reckon this graffiti was done by the local Womens Institute.
I mean, it's pretty tame stuff isn't it?
"Jimmy The Beast"
Not a "nonce", "cunt", or "bastard" in sight, no smashed windows, and a neat little Eye of Providence.
It looks like the work of the Girl Guides.
That is unbelievably misogynist
and the person painting it takes symbolism about as seriously as me when I draw a cock on the toilet walls in biro
Tory Island off the Donegal coast has any number of Evil Eye's... and a mythology about Balor stretching back a couple of millenia... as far as I know there is no Masonic connection.

@ bluestreak
you're clear that their motive in painting this was to attack freemasonry then?
I recently encountered a sketch book in Easons bookshop in Newry which someone had drawn (really well, as it goes) an erect and spunking cock in pencil. It was done with lots of shading and even a throbbing vein, so some bare-faced artist had gone to a fair bit of bother.
It's 'eye' was not necessarily "evil", but I still suspect a Masonic connection.
Spunking or non-spunking?
VP had a stab here. The newspapers all made the connection. Personally I'm trying not to make a connection in any negative sense without evidence.Can someone explain what that image has to do with freemasonry?If it were an eye over a square and compass I'd understand Someone posts a picture and it somehow becomes a masonic sign. but what masonic sign is it, may be that's a secret
If it is an attack on freemasonry it is a very strange symbol to use, I don't think it is a sign that most freemasons would recognize as a masonic signthanks.
so the ambiguity remains. Is this, as most here seem to assume, an attack on freemasonry, or should it be taken as the all seeing eye is watching with the unstated corollary "don't grass"?
I think the only person who can tell you that is the person who painted it and I'm not sure even then you'd get a coherent answermaybe this strand of discussion shouldn't be on this thread at all then.
I have been a bit puzzled that none of the Eye of Providence images I've seen have been as drawn, but I put that down to my unfamiliarity with the topic.
If it's not a masonic symbol then the question "what is it?" has to be added to "why was it put there?".
the linkages from that sort of symbol are mostly via CTer sites I think, although Wiki does give a reference for the linkI'm not sure he does. He is helpfully looking for linkage, but this just isn't a recognizable masonic symbol as far as I can see. If it is then may be someone can link to it and explain its significances to British Freemasons.
Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor.[5] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason's thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.
Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States
Is it the Eye of providence?the linkages from that sort of symbol are mostly via CTer sites I think, although Wiki does give a reference for the link
I'd expect this symbol on that house was someone trying to point out a link between Savile and Freemasonry (or possibly the Illuminati), but that doesn't really mean a hell of a lot as I'm sure most would be aware that CTer type sites have been making that link for a while, and this isn't any different to that.
On reflection, I'm not entirely convinced the idea stacks up, with him being a Catholic and all. That said, it's not exactly impossible, and it might help explain some of the odder stuff like him having a bunch of coppers around for afternoon tea once a week for years... or he could have just been having tea with some friendly coppers to keep them sweet without any masonic involvement.
It might also help explain how his paths kept crossing with all these apparently random people running kids homes, schools, hospitals, broadmoor etc if he was, but that's all just circumstantial really.
That is unbelievably misogynist
Oh really? A précis of your post is, crap vigilantism, must be females.Eh? Why?
The suggestion is that the language used is unfittingly courtly and more likely to be the work of refined ladies than hairy arsed geezers.
Give over!
