It's back in chalk...

If / when it goes back up in paint hopefully the council's eye will stay as blind as promised.

What sort of memorial is that?

That just looks like shit. No wonder they got rid of that.

This bit made me larf. Dye admitted: "I didn't even really know who Ian Curtis was - I'm only 22, and so I'd heard of Joy Division before but I didn't really know them."

Memorials to Patrick Swayze and Michael Jackson also added. FFS.
