Will Self's new art + Iceland fuckwittery = Brixton Bombing plaque covered up

[netbob]

Will Self's new art thingamajig on Electric Avenue is all very nice, but it now means that Iceland have nowhere to store their roll-cages.

As a result they have moved them in front of the plaque to commemorate the 50 people injured by the bomb planted by nazi-nut-job David Copeland.

Hoping this silliness can be rectified? (Also, if anyone from the council is reading, it could really do with a polish!).

Where were they stored before? The 'art' is above them, isn't it?

 

[Gramsci]

That really is bad planning.

U would have thought someone would have thought of this.

They used to be over where the art now is.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a fuss about this. I reckon the plaque is far more important than that horrible grey slab.

I used to work there in the late 1990s and they always stored the cages there.

Like someone going totally mad and politely pointing out, what is presumably an oversight, to the manager of Iceland?

In the picture it looks like the 'art' is above the top of the trolleys.

No it doesn't.

Nice try.

Here's a couple of pics of the art doing its thing: http://www.urban75.org/blog/will-selfs-art-piece-on-brixton-electric-avenue-lights-up/

Jamm Bar is spelled wrong.

If only Will Self had waited a few weeks, he'd have loads more interesting stuff to post up now.

Will Self lives in Stockwell and sends his kids to private school.
