This mural is part of Brixton’s heritage and story. Its vibrancy and energy depict the disruption and concerns of society during a time of political upheaval and deepening divisions. It is full of foreboding for a future overshadowed by nuclear threat. A mural is society’s reaction to circumstance - it is a voice, a symbol as important for society as any statue or sculpture - more so because it’s creators are driven by conviction and immediacy to react to circumstances and events.

Remember this as a child shopping at Brixton market with my mother and sisters and visiting an uncle who lived nearby.

I grew up walking past this piece of art as a child, it’s a part of me as far as I’m concerned. The first piece of art to make me really think as to the meaning and it’s greater connotations. It’s a beautiful piece of British heritage showing the fears of Londoners at the time and still has a message that echoes strong today. It’s would be a tragedy to British culture for this to be lost to time and further development.

Due to gentrification of a previously undiserable area, Brixton has lost its soul. Preserving this mural will help maintain the heritage in Brixton, which is culturally very important.

We need to retain what made Brixton unique and how politics were a strong issue here.

This absolutely what Brixton is all about. I was 17/18 yrs old when it was unfolding in Coldharbour Lane & watched it emerge. Forty years on and it is still at the heart of our Brixton. Times change for sure, but there are some things that should not!
I lived there while the mural was being painted. Sadly the concerns and fears we had then are just as real today. 'You don't know what you've got till it's gone.' as the lady said.

This mural is the same age as me. My dad used to drive through Brixton with me in the back terrified as we went past it. He loved it and as I grew up I fell in love with it too, as he would explain to me its meaning. It simply is a masterpiece. Heartbroken to see it in the state it's in, not just for sentimental reasons but for the simple fact it is a magnificent painting, a relevant as today as it was back then political statement and iconic part of Brixton. We cant let it disappear.

I vividly remember seeing the mural for the first time as a child of 8 or 9. Its message seems more relevant than ever.

I'm so angry about the defacement of this iconic artwork and the apathy that has been shown on he part of Lambeth council to restore and protect it. Another nail in the coffin for Brixton.
