“BIRMINGHAM’S historic John F Kennedy memorial is now being touted to a second major developer after being rejected by the city’s Irish Quarter. The mosaic, in storage since being removed from St Chad’s Circus two years ago, is now being offered to Kuwaiti property developer Salhia to include in its plans for the Beorma Quarter, in Digbeth”.

That’s good to know – but what about the other mural which used to surround the Kennedy mosaic in that location?

Sadly that mural is lost forever, as rather than being lifted off the walls and placed into storage for future restoration, the bulldozers simply smashed it to smithereens.

Most people would call that vandalism.
