The personal memoirs of Randi Mooney
He’s been standing at the roundabout for the last two weeks… will somebody pick him up?
Could this be another work of the world-famous basstensil anarch-artists of Argentina, the people who created the Disney War stensil I reported on a few months ago? The style is certainly similar - finely detailed dual-tone stensil artwork.
According to The Highway Code “Signs with red circles are mostly prohibitive.”, a fact that Tony Blair would no doubt be aware of if he were to drive past this bus-shelter in Hornsey, North London. The text reads “blairmustgo”, a message a message Tony “one-jag” Blair would be moving too quickly to read.
Once again, I can only assume that this is anarchist/marxist inspired grafitti, perhaps only because spraying it onto a bus-shelter is technically an act of sabotage. Any act of subversion is made doubly subversive if it involves an act of destruction.
If the same image was rendered on a 48-sheet poster above the high-street, you would naturally assume that it was the latest Saatchi & Saatchi campaign for the Conservative party, in fact the conservatives have barely moved on from their 1980’s “Devil Eyes” campaign, and it seems no more effective now than it did back then.
It is possible that this is related to the Blair Must Go Party, from what I can tell, a one-person party campaigning only in Mr Blair’s ultra-safe Sedgefield constituency, and certainly not in Hornsey and Wood-Green.
