Artist Lord Biro has written to Trent FM accusing them of biased reporting over his exhibition "The Blitz Spirit Art Show" at 24 West End Arcade Nottingham which was held on July 7th, the first anniversary of the London Bombings. The Trent FM Report said that the show was 'inappropriate' and 'an insult to the Muslim community'.
Lord Biro maintains that the section that dealt with Islam was in the main a satirical attack on Islamic extremists e.g Bin Laden, Al Zarqawi, Abu Hamaza etc. No mention was made by Trent FM of Lord Biro's attack on Kilroy's denigration of the Arabs, and that he stood against Kilroy in the General Election of 2005 because of it. The rest of the exhibition was mainly an attack on Bush and Blair's invasion of Iraq and the consequences. Lord Biro's condemnations of Israel's bombing the power plant in Gaza was also not used by Trent FM though it was mentioned in the recorded interview. Finally the programme failed to mention the address of the exhibition, which is why no one came to see it.
The exhbition has re-opened and can be seen on Friday and Saturday 14/15th July and Monday 17th July between 11.00 and 4.00p.m.

The sign outside the gallery (GunCity Gallery) was torn off Friday evening (14th July) and replaced by an American flag in a disgraceful act of vandalism.
Lord Biro has written to the 'Reputation Management Team' at Nottingham City Council enquiring whether this has anything to do with their campaign against any negative criticism of Nottingham (see current issue of Nottingham Arrow).

Clean Nottingham ...
Indeed, the 3-headed mantra of the all powerful council might well have resulted in the cleaning of your wonderful art.
Purity as a local government obsession might also explain the closing of market square toilets and BBC Nottingham replacing them with 'virtual ones' - I kid you not:
