Disgraceful. And very sad. They didn't think to put a camera up?
Re: Butetown mural defaced
GoFundMe page set up for the cost of repair.
Sad and depressing that morons would do that.

Yes, it's awful isn't it.
I'm glad you've never behaved in such a way.

I just don’t get what in that mural would provoke such a reaction, but then I suppose I see nothing in it to get intimidated or threatened about.

Perhaps we could look no further than the scum in the Canton who boo taking the knee.
Re: Butetown mural defaced
The cynic in me would look at Sean the owner of the struggling bar the mural actually adorns
It’s Mischief’s on James Street
There’s no better publicity than FREE publicity 🤔
Re: Butetown mural defaced
Id' put my money on pissed up/high as kite youths who have no agenda as they have no brains , thinking its funny and a wheeze , as they run away ?
Re: Butetown mural defaced
Things like this are very depressing. Honestly though, I would just very quickly get it patched up and not make a fuss. Wanton vandals often seek publicity, and racists will try and create division; either way. Spruce it up and don't let them win.
Re: Butetown mural defaced
There was a fair bit of crap placed in and around poor old Nye Bevan stature which was upsetting , don't think folk like statues, murals or history these days .
Type this into Google jewish memorial vandalised

Sadly there is a lot of idiots in the word.
Re: Butetown mural defaced
Cardiff City got a lot of negative publicity back in November last year as a result of this article.
https://bricksmagazine.co.uk/2020/11...m-in-football/
The BBC article refers to a fundraising campaign to repair the mural. An opportunity for the club to mend fences ?
Re: Butetown mural defaced
The Banksy ‘Spy Booth’ mural appeared on a house near us a few years back. Became quite a tourist attraction for a while.
It was vandalised several times before mysteriously getting removed overnight from the wall of the house.
A few remnants just turned up last week I believe ready for auction.

Pissed up youths wouldn't go around carrying a tin of vinyl silk emulsion.

Rightly so
It was a great idea and the club snubbed it on the pathetic grounds of reverse racism
What a useless club we have at times

Who said they were pissed up youths?
People often discard paint tins around the place so it could be Kids just fecking about
I see it being more chance of just vandalism rather than having a racist motive.
If it were a white person that someone threw black paint on i'd say the same.

life on Mars did in the post I was replying to.
There seems to be an effort to throw the paint as high as possible. Whatever the motive I hope they find those responsible.
