So. AAAAGes ago, Michael Stone, that well known local psychopath and murderer tried to STORM Govt. buildings at Stormont, but was foiled by... a revolving door.

Then, sometime later, his lawyers claimed this was not an Acutal Attack, but Performance Art .

They are now apparently holding to this line of defence with - and I quote one of the funniest passages I've read on teh bbc news in a lot time, and I include the Welsh Darth Vader Jedi Attack here -

Performance art experts are helping the defence team of a loyalist killer who raided NI's assembly allegedly carrying explosives and a knife.

To be fair, the phrase "performance art experts" brings enough comedy on it's own but the crack team assembled to prepare an academic study on the whole thing elevates this to a whole new level of beautiful lunacy.

Plus, it's a good excuse to repost my favourite crap mural Cultural Folk Art of all time.

do you still have the big version of the Cultural Folk Art? i think i recall spending some time tracking it donw special, but then i lost it.

also, it may not be performance art but it is still amusing me waaaaay more than is in any way decent.

p.s. i still think the revolving door is due a prize of some sort.

I never found the big version, I only ever had the small. I wish I'd taken a photo when I used to drive past it every week!
