Radio Fourgeois on the way in this morning (note to self: get DAB for car - World Service only reasonable station in UK).

Item on the problems of private ownership of works of art. (Actually it wasn't - it was about returning works of art expropriated by various states during WW2, but Radio Fourgeois never misses a chance to engage in pointless talky bumfests on whatever goes through their minds). Rachel Campbell-Jones, some Murdoch-employed art stooge:

"Sometimes I think that we should distribute works of art by lottery - so many social problems would be solved at once! ... just imagine some old lady in a council flat that smells of cats having Monet's waterlillies in her living room!"

Yes, or here's an idea - why not show your true feelings about the role of art in society by going down the YMCA, herd everyone there into a glass box and put them at the centre of a revolving carousel of great artworks whilst a giant neon sign flashes on and off above it all that reads 'ISN'T THIS NICE?'

At the very least it'd be a contender for the Turner Prize.
