I don’t know much about art but I know what I like – and I like giant hen harriers crushing rangerovers.
Did you see this – it happened over a month ago while I was in upper New York state.
Well, it made me smile anyway.

Sadly, in real life the rangerovers have the upper hand.
Also while you were away in Americol, there was a report in the meejar of person or persons found guilty of raptor poisoning in Scotland – using carbofuran. As there is no legal use for carbofuran as far as I can remember, it is perverse that its possession is not illegal. Isn’t it time Bunion was poked again over this?
Made me smile too. I wonder if the artist knew the full irony of the image he created?
He did Sian, the Landrover/Range Rover represents his loathing for 4×4’s in London (he cycles) and the Hen Harrier was inspired by the Sandringham shooting and in his words “it represents natures revenge on humans destroying the natural enviroment”.
It was also covered on Channel 4, Newsnight and Cultural Show.
