Protest House on London Road

Postby the bar biographer » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:13 pm

Anyone know anything about this hoose? http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianmcmonagle/4353659032/

I passed it today but didn't have time to get a photo. I think the murals have developed since the above photo was taken. The banners talk about the silence from top cops and politicians over a search of this house.

The photo comments say London Road, but I can't place it other than perhaps the half-mile past Helenvale Street. . Do you have a specific location?

How long has the grafitti been there for?

The occupant was questioned over some jewellery lost by Mrs Shand Kidd in Oban if memory serves me correctly.

It's on the same side as the high flats - just past Canmore Street - but before the Celtic Supporters Club

There was something in the Sunday Mail a while back - I believe the house was raided in connection with an investigation into a burglary at Francis Shand Kydds home on the Isle of Seil near Oban when jewellry was stolen.

I first spotted it about 3 or 4 years ago on the journey home along London Road

Already discussed on here

Interesting stuff, thanks for the details.

He also claims a conspiracy of silence over the raid.

Don't like the way the guy is dismissed as a 'mentalist' when it seems the police do have a case to answer.

"Police only raided one other house, belonging to a man known as Raffles. "

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

There's no mention of the guy having "previous", so in an ideal world, if the polis fucked it up and wrecked his house, they (we) should pay.
