Which brings us neatly back to the Market Hall, and the Liberating Empty Terrain project.

Which until very recently wasn't empty at all, pre-refurbishment.

It was space taken up by people actually flogging stuff for a living. To people prepared to fork for whatever it was they were selling.

The empty space was liberated, and filled by a person paid to make wooly caterpillars.

We are told this is 'community art'.

Give me a white flag.

Let's all surrender.

We've been liberated.
