BBC Paedophile Statue Must Go

Additional Information

Eric Gill's sculpture of Prospero and Ariel (from Shakespeare's The Tempest) which adorns The BBC's Headquarters on Portland square has a very disturbing history behind it.

Gill had an incestuous relationship with his sister, sexual relationships with two of his pubescent daughters and even his family dog.

Despite everything that has happened since the BBC’s number one asset, Jimmy Savile, being exposed as Britain’s most notorious paedophile, the corporation remains unapologetic of its use of child abusers to host children’s television programmes and its use of paedophiles to decorate its flagship building.

The BBC likes to think a naked boy submissively leaning into the raised leg of a wizard is simply a metaphor for broadcasting. To the BBC Eric Gill was a major British artist rather than an incestuous bestiality practitioner.
