    Disgraceful. And very sad. They didn't think to put a camera up?

    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.

    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 🤔

    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.

    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 .

    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.

    Has history got it wrong and the Nazis actually won the war?

    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

    It would have happened at night I would have thought . Doing that sort of thing , defacing an image of a black woman in South Cardiff is a stupid thing to do at the best of 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.
