Yes dear readers come to sunny Southampton and buy a piece of my heritage.

How can this be?....well its like this:

Southampton City Council and in particular the Arts and lesiure chief, ( the conservative John Hannides) wish to flog off various works of art that were bequested to the city to make up a shortfall in funding a 'Titanic' museum.

Tentatively titled 'The Sea City Centre', the new space will include some extra exhibition space,(as a sop) for the city's art collection, which outside of London, Manchester and Birmingham is reputed to be the best in the UK.

Among the works to be sold are a Munnings, (fine painter of equine subjects) and...GET THIS..a Rodin sculpture. A fucking Rodin for chrissakes.

Where would we get another Rodin from?....for as sure as eggs is eggs no one will mention the gallery in their bequests if we're flogging their stuff, and we'd never be able to afford to buy another one when we're out of this recession.

The whole thing is wrong...just wrong.

Where will it end if they are given permission from the Attorney General's office that it is legal to do this? Sell a Turner to pay for some new street-lights because the coucil can't balance it's books?

The Fucking Bastards!
