So …. here is a mindless bit of empty protest.
I have no problem with the sentiments, but what does a piece of graffiti on a well known historic Chorlton building achieve?
The blue fingered warrior for peace, would be better employed joining CND, or a political party, or just engaging the local population in a dialogue, but I suspect that will involve a degree of thinking out a more convincing set of arguments.
All that will happen now is that the Council will have to clean it off.
And the makers of blue spray paint will have advanced their profits.
Still our blue fingered warrior for peace can rest easy knowing that they are a million miles behind Dr. King, Bruce Kent of CND, and the countless millions around the world who have faced down military regimes, and totalitarian governments in the cause of peace, and often have suffered the consequences.
Perhaps emboldened by their act of defiance, they could step things up, and send a picture postcard to Mr. Putin, and a suitably different picture postcard to the Chinese Government calling out its Human rights record.
The possibilities are endless.
