Letters: Banksy at Bristol Museum

I am about to ring up Rebecca Burton, deputy head of Bristol Museum.

I am going to tell her I want to bring my five-year-old daughter to her museum. Does she think a lion with a whip and blood around its mouth after eating the lion tamer is acceptable for a little girl? Let her answer that question.

Perhaps then I could ring Mike Norton, editor of the Post, and ask him why in his words he finds the artist Banksy for some unknown, unconscious reason "very moving".

Let me tell you why every Bristolian child like my five-year-old, again in Mike Norton's words, "has gawped" in the gipsy caravan so many times. It is because they find it beautiful and amazing to look at, and I find him laughing out loud extremely disrespectful.

We should be promoting family values in Bristol and not putting sick and offensive displays by some vandal/graffiti artist on show and then encouraging 8,500 people to turn up and celebrate it.

I thought this country couldn't get any worse but it just keeps surprising me.

Craig Sheppard, Bristol.
