DAMIEN HIRST IS DEAD

Last night the Art World was shocked to hear the news that controversial artist Damien Hirst had died.

Hirst, 1995's Turner Prize winner, appears to have been working late in his studio when he apparently slipped and fell into a vat of his own formaldehyde and died.

Hirst's agent, Jay Jopling, still visibly moved by the news, made a brief statement to the press this morning:

'As befitting the artists memory his final work, so to speak, willl go on display at the Tate Gallery, London tomorrow, and will tour towards the end of the year.'

When asked what the title of Damien Hirst's last work would be, Jopling replied that Hirst's will actually stipulated that in the event of the artist's death his penis be put on display alongside the title:

'THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE ART WORLD TO RECOGNISE A USELESS PRICK WHEN THEY SEE ONE'

Jopling's only comment was that Hirst obviously didn't expect his demise to occur so soon.

BAN MACBETH

We call upon the Government to take immediate action and take
the responsibility to ban this evil play and all other works
by the sick and depraved author Willianm Shakespeare.
It is our desire to see these foul abominations
Publicly burned as a warning to others
the public will no longer tolerate
the vomit that is thrust down
our throats that some call
Culture, Art & Literature

It has been revealed that Macbeth, the sadiostic work of Sixteenth Century playwright William Shakespeare was the favourite book of Stephen Wilkinson, the fucked up schizo psycho who viciously stabbed to death a defenceless 12 year old schoolgirl in March 1995.

Schizo Wilkinson carried a copy of Macbeth with him everywhere and tragically so on that fatal day when he marched into Hal Garth Comprehensive school in Middlesbrough carrying in his holdall three knives, a hatchet, a Colt 45 replica revolver and a copy of Macbeth. Wilkinson, it has also been revealed, had pinned a quotation by Jonathon Swift to his bedroom wall, describing humanity as 'pernicious race-odious little vermin'.

From this evidence we believe that it is not far fetched to draw the conclusion that Wilkinson's reading of these black mass-terpeices of the occult led directly to the brutal murder of that innocent young schoolgirl.

This is evidence enough in our eyes that Macbeth and other works by William Shakespeare, reported to contain many depraved acts of sex and violence, be removed from the National Curriculum forthwith and that the poisoning of our children's young minds ceases immediately.

Who knows what other works by Shakespeare (that freak of nature some call a writer) psychos like Wilkinson could have read and what disgusting filth is pillaging our children's innocent young minds.

The works of these shameless authors litter our bookshops, which in some cases are no more than brothels. How can we defend publication of this noxious material. Those responsible should be prosecuted and punished.

We will not rest until William Shakespeare's works are banned and banned forever then and only then will we sleep safely in our beds.

We await the governments response.

to abolish the complete works of William Shakespeare.

The Spoon of Destiny
Returns to Scotland!

At long last the Spoon of Destiny
- the long lost Cutlery of Scotland's Kings -
has been returned by those thieving English bastards
to take up its rightful resting place in Edinburgh Castle.

A Brief History of the Spoon of Destiny

The Spoon of Destiny, was the very kitchen utensil with which William Wallace supped his last mouthful of haggis before setting forth to hammer the English.

The Spoon of Destiny was the very ladle with which Robert the Bruce in 1314 did vigorously stir his porridge (prepared with the water and the salt, not the milk and the sassanach sugar) which he had for his breakfast before setting forth to Stirling to fight the Battle of Bannockburn, whereupon he did hammer the English.

In 1745 when Bonnie Prince Charlie returned from France to tackle the English overlords in the Jacobite Rebellion he feasted first upon the tattie scone. The Spoon of Destiny was grasped firmly in his fist, handed down through generations. Tragically, however, before Charlie's army reached Carlisle the Spoon disappeared, mysteriously spirited out of his hands, presumably stolen by a traitor in the pay of the dirty English Bastards. Consequently, Charlie did not go forth and hammer the English.

The last reported sighting of the Spoon of Destiny was in Argentina in 1978: the owner one Lord Archibald of Gemmell. But all reports of sightings went uncorroborated until the Spoon was eventually uncovered in a secret hiding place in Camden Market in London.

The Spoon of Destiny has now been finally returned to Scotland and is proudly preserved next to the mighty 'Stone of Density' in Edinburgh Castle.

We are free to become a Nation again.
