More Passion In Downing Street

August 21, 2011 at 9:07 am
The mind positively boggles at the thought. Doesn’t it. David Cameron demanding more passion at 10 Downing Street is not a thought I’d like to dwell on for too long but fear not, it’s not as bad as it seems, so you can put down the mind bleach … for now.
It appears that ‘More Passion’ relates to a neon artwork installation donated to Downing Street by that eminent non-entitity Tracey Emin. Yes, that Tracey Emin. The one who couldn’t be bothered to make her bed and then decided to display it, fag ends dirty knickers an’ all, at some arty farty art gallery or other … for others to get enjoyment out of. Hmmph … whatever turns you on, I suppose.

Some say that the neon artwork now makes the doorway to the Terracotta Room, on the 1st Floor of Number 10, look like the beckoning entrance to some seedy nightclub or other. Others say [well, just me actually] that if Tracey Emin was really trying to bring “a bit of an edge” to Downing Street, then she would have achieved that far more successfully by crafting her neon sign to read ‘EU Referendum Now‘.
Just a thought.
