'Heartbreaking': fire guts Glasgow School of Art for second time
Mackintosh building restoration was nearly finished after smaller 2014 blaze
Just how could this happen? Arson? Retaliation for Grenfell? Some twisted minds around.

It's art. One day computers will produce work like this only better.

I'm reserving judgement until I've heard what Galaxian has to say about what really happened.

It was one of the few reasons to go to Glasgow.

As an Art school graduate who kept most of his work in the college I find myself thinking about the students just about to undergo their final assessments - all gone up in smoke - poor buggers!

For the non-morons amongst us:

Glasgow School of Art may be beyond repair after second fire
School’s professor of architecture says Mackintosh building ‘looks totally destroyed’
It is a great loss to architectural history.

There is some hope:

Glasgow School of Art building expected to be saved from demolition
Damage assessors unlikely to be allowed into Mackintosh building until Wednesday

The surviving shell of Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh building, devastated by fire last weekend, is expected to be saved from demolition, council officials have said.

Senior figures in Glasgow city council said a consensus was emerging among building control officers, the art school and Historic Environment Scotland (HES), the official conservation agency, that the landmark should be saved.

The 110-year-old building, an art nouveau, grade A-listed masterpiece designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, was gutted by a fire that tore through it and two neighbouring venues on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

You missed the main item in that article:
"… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative [correct word should be "propagandist] journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective [indoctrination] matters..."

The revenue of the Guardian has fallen because some years ago it was taken over by a Zionist US organization that has dumbed it down & made it a lackey of vested interests. And British (lack of) Intelligence GCHQ destroyed their computer hard drives (20 July 2013) with angle grinders https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... rives-gchq .


Since then it's become a wishy-washy disinformation rag, full of opinion pieces dressed up as articles by government stooges, with little or no bearing on the facts. See for example the series about the supposed Skripal nerve agent poisoning; a false flag if ever there was one. The most deadly nerve agent in the world...from Russia, of course...didn't kill the father & daughter outright. Instead, it energized them to wander around Salisbury for 4 hours, have drinks & lunch, then peacefully go for a snooze on a park bench, both at exactly the same time.
Yes, Guardian...pull the other one, it's got bells on it! Cheap hogwash pulp tabloid :coffee:

I'm so devastated by the news of this fire, I can't understand how Scots can live with it. Has there been a wave of suicides following the disaster?
I've been waiting to make the pilgrimage to the newly restored building, and now I have nothing to live for any more.
I know they call it Scotland the Brave, but they need a special kind of courage to face the future now.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
