Jimmy Savile Is Innocent…

Now then, now then. How is this for the most inappropriate publicity stunt going? The Bread and Butter gallery in Islington is opening an exhibition tomorrow provocatively called ‘Jimmy Savile Is Innocent‘. Artists are invited to bring works on the subject to the opening tomorrow night:

‘In an age when the dead can’t defend themselves Jimmy Savile has been found guilty. Lets remember that Jimmy is innocent and can only be found guilty by a court of law, perhaps its time for a posthumous trial?’

Trial by artistes. Is that better or worse than trial by media?
