Disgusted at the sale of jo and ron wood's house in richmond on at £13million!

wow, a lot of strong feelings about the portait... I agree that perhaps it is in bad taste, however, it still challenges what we perceive as evil. The original image of hindley is iconic, and I think that as a portait, it is very interesting because it still evokes those feelings of disgust, but at the same time, one must recognise that this is not actually an image of hindley. In fact, it could be an unflattering portait of anyone.

That's the point of good art IMO putting emotion into something, then making you think why it does it.

shame that some posters don't understand that this is why it is interesting. All I've read going down this thread is people slagging each other off...:o

Some people are very uncomfortable with emotions of one form or another, but they think it's external not internal dialogue that is driving them.

So if something invokes loathing or revulsion in them, it's not why but who to blame for it.

I don't care either way but I must point out it is picture of Kate Moss impersonating her so the lack of taste is still apparent. Perhaps I should dress up as Hitler and go to a synagogue. If anyone complains I will point out I am NOT Hitler and they are of low intellect!

But if you were to dress as Hitler and attend a fancy dress party is that on a par with turning up at a synagogue?

I quite like the house, I'd change some of the colour schemes, hate that ceiling, but the heart of the house comes across well.

Oh here we go - another one who tries to turn the obvious into a load of psychobabble cr£p, to try and make them look deep and intellectual. Duh!!!!

The REASON the picture makes most NORMAL people repulsed is that it's meant to look like one of the vilest creatures that's stalked this world. In case you've gorgotten, Hindley was EVIL and enjoyed torturing, absusing and murdering children with that filthy evil monster, Brady. She's now rotting in hell thank God.

So, no - we don't need to wonder WHY the picture evokes emotion in us. WE'RE normal!

There's nothing arty about the picture. Anyone with a warped mind could take a photograph like that. Very easy actually. I suppose the drug-raddled boozer, Wood, was p1ssed when he bought it and didn't even know who it was meant to be. He's not exactly the sharpest tool in the box is he?

I've just taken a quick read through his posts and he's never mentioned being unemployed? Can't you read? Nor did he say he had few friends (don't put everyone in the same lonely boat as you) and he didn't steal his lodger's deposit, by all accounts it was the lodger who did wrong according to what he said. She sounded an utter nightmare - and the flat was for the lodger - not the boyfriend! READ!

I rarely respond to most of the posts on here but in your case I feel obliged to. You're a vile putrid creature who is deeply unhappy with your measly lot. And it shows.

Go and browse through your catalogue and daydream a bout the cheap stuff you can't afford. You little loser.

Not another handbagging. I think this forum is getting out of control. Are these signs of the depression?

A very nice house. A shame about the location.


Im a Northerner...


(Maybe this house could be built on the yorkshire dales, or in a nice valley on the way to Llangollen, then i would buy it).

If it was built up in the yorkshire dales it would probably only be worth about half a million - if that. Would you be able to stretch to that?

Richmond (in case you didn't know) is absolutely beautiful. A million times more beautiful (and convenient) than up there in the yorkshire dales. Better weather too. We don't get all that constant rain and grey gloomy skies they have up north.

You want to take a holiday to Richmond - you'll love it. Plenty to do - if you've got the money.

I really like the house.

the original Richmond is in Yorkshire. The name came to be attached to the area SW of London because Henry Tudor (later Henry VII) had a title connected to the northern Richmond, and it got transferred south - possibly when the Palace of Nonsuch was built nearby.
