Oakham Town Council, Recreated in Art, At Oakham Stocks, Feeding on Public Money

Oakham Town Council, Recreated in Art, At Oakham Stocks, Feeding on Public Money



Christmas 2012 an Artist gave be a painting of Oakham Town Councillors
at the stocks. The number chickens matched the number of councillors at
that time.

Since Cllr Alf Dewis (ex Mayor) recently described £11,000 of public money as
chicken feed, I thought it was about time I shared this piece of art.

Chickens are Fowl and some Oakham Town Councillors are Foul.

Oakham Town Councillor Charles Haworth is the Homophobic pervert and
likes many things German, especially anti Jewish Nazi propaganda which in court
he laughed off and said its the sort of things the British troops would have enjoyed.
What a nutter! so here is a quote for him from a German about chickens and my
adaptation follows:

“Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity.
It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity.
They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.”

Werner Herzog


“Look into the eyes of a Oakham Town Councillor and you will see real stupidity.
It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity.
They are the most horrifying, homophobic and nightmarish creatures in the world.”

Martin Brookes
