Vandalism - speaker Gordon MacKenzie

Gordon MacKenzie’s  talk was  on the subject of vandalism.
Prompted by the attacks on the new statue of Old Tom Morris, Gordon questioned why vandalism occurred and reasons sometimes given to account for vandals’ actions.
He discussed whether graffiti simply desecrated buildings or was seen in many instances to be art. Could vandalism of say works of art by protesters be excused when said to be promoting causes?
A lively discussion followed Gordon’s stimulating talk.
Gordon was introduced by president-elect David Gray and Isobel Clifford proposed a vote of thanks.
