It’s always interesting to see the response to vandalism by the usual suspects. If it’s a Wanksy, painted without consent, it’s ‘art’. However, if someone objects to yet another rainbow and paints it over, it’s vandalism.
A rainbow bench installed at a town in Derbyshire to encourage interaction has been restored after it was painted black by vandals.
The Happy to Chat bench in Heanor was put in place in May 2022 as part of a scheme “to promote social connection and reduce the negative impacts of isolation”, Heanor and Loscoe Town Council said.
But town clerk Andrew Sharpe said in the past few days, somebody had attacked the bench and painted its bright colours black.
In so doing, it was significantly improved. What these people fail to realise is that the vast majority of people aren’t interested in their rainbows or their ‘message.’ Indeed, we are experiencing rainbow fatigue, hence the action taken by this civic-minded ‘vandal.’ You never know, we might see a war of paint cans emerging as they nip out again and paint it black.
Before the repairs were carried out, Mr Sharpe said: “The plaque says, on the bench, happy to chat, sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello.
“But obviously somebody has decided that they’re not happy to chat on there.
I doubt that. More like they are sick of yet another rainbow.
“We won’t let the actions of some people disturb what is a positive thing for the rest of Heanor and Loscoe.
The black paint scheme is exceptionally positive.
“It’s sad that some people just don’t tolerate some things, and we will do our very best to get that back to its former glory.”
Yes, it’s sad that the intolerant, bigoted, hard left cannot leave us alone without ramming their propaganda down our throats, without bombarding us for a whole month with their fetishes.
A happy to chat bench will work just fine in plain black.
What’s the matter with black, racist?
Why does it have to be rainbow coloured for it to be “happy to chat”? Is it not possible to chat happily on a black bench?
I suspect that a lot of people would see sitting on a a rainbow coloured bench as an invitation to be propositioned.
Maybe they thought that, as “Pride Month” had finished, the bench should be returned to its original colour?
There should also be a “fuck off and leave me alone” bench for the grumpy among us
White consists of every colour. Remember those spinning cardboard discs with segments of all colours which turned white as you spinned them.
These new trouble makers want to split whites into separate segments. All the easier to deal with.
