Looks like UKIP will do well in Clacton

'Offensive' Banksy immigration mural in Clacton scrubbed off wall by council - Art - Arts and Entertainment - The Independent

Shame, I liked it. Presumably scrubbed by the same sort of people who hound paediatricians.

I laughed when I read about it this morning. Some numpty decides to scrub a Banksy worth a couple of hundred grand and then says he hopes he would come back again sometime. All grafitti will now be left in place just in case

Crazy, whoever it was by. The way I read it, the intent was more likely anti-racist than racist.

Same, it's a parody methinks.

Seemed pretty obvious to me, but then some people think mentioning or acknowledging racism makes you racist (like when I was called racist for pointing out there are stereotypes about Jews).

[Platypus]

there are stereotypes about Jews

There are? Only a racist would know that. You racist.

The guy from the council summed it up, dammed if they do and dammed if they don't, but their view was if someone complains it has to be dealt with

And here in lies the problem.

People think if they complain then 'somebody' has to do 'something' - the phrase feck off is most underutilised imho.

It was probably someone from Frinton.
