A painting of Lord Balfour housed at the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College was slashed by protest group Palestine Action.
The painting of Lord Balfour was made in 1914 by Philip Alexius de László inside Trinity College. The Palestine Action group specifically targeted the Lord Balfour painting, describing his declaration as the beginning of “ethnic cleansing of Palestine by promising the land away—which the British never had the right to do.”
Not really the same. The public gets a say in which art pieces are displayed in public. Museums exist for the preservation of history, good or bad.
This is Britain mate, and the riff-raff have almost no say in such things.
