Anti-Rupert Murdoch Poster On City Road

A poster calling Rupert Murdoch a very rude word has appeared on City Road, Islington.

The poster is on the elevator shaft for the old City Road tube station, at the junction with Central Street. It’s by Dr D (herself no stranger to political street art), and it depicts our beleaguered Rupe with the euphemistic slogan “WHAT A JEREMY HUNT” stamped across his mouth, referencing the slip of the tongue made by James Naughtie whilst introducing the Culture Secretary last year. A subtle though effective jibe, and certainly softer than the more explicit message photographed in Chalk Farm recently by Simon Crubellier.

Mr Murdoch: see you next Tuesday. We mean at the select committee, of course.

    Now that is brave – can she please go to Peking and do one of Wen Jiabao in defence of Ai Weiwei, and then to Rangoon to do one of Thien Sein in defence of Aung San Suu Kyi, and then to Tripoli to do one of Gadaffi in defence of raped women?

      Or perhaps you could, instead of whining about stuff on the internet.

    It would have been better if it wasn’t so biased and allowed for true free speech; making a mockery of them all.

    Depicting Rupert Murdoch as the evil incarnate he is just cost me my agent, who didn’t want to upset her friends as Harper Collins Publishing. Thank you AMAZON. See “THE HI-TEC ROCKS,” You need look no further than the summary and sample chapters.
