As time goes by I become more & more convinced that the art world is exactly like the world of "fine" wine. And populated by similar sheep. No matter how ridiculous the item in question is.
i.e. somebody says "This is art" & the sheep agree without questioning why.
In the same way that someone decides that a particular bottle of wine is worth £10,000 When a.n.other bottle with the same alcohol content is £5.99.
Let's be honest, both bottles serve exactly the same purpose & neither taste bad.

Gentlemen, I give you this year's Turner prize winner aka a 1980's Ford Escort with a massive doily on top 🙄...

And more loyal to us in times of war, some decent folk among them.
I had Sikh neighbours for nearly 20 years before moving to Devon, they were great neighbours to have. I was good friends with another lad and we'd go to watch football together had some great days and nights out with him.
When I told our sikh neighbour we were moving, she asked who had bought our house, I told her a young sikh couple had bought it and she turned her nose up lol. I thought she would be pleased. Both neighbours disliked Muslims alot.
