Sale of Moore Sculpture Angers Artists, Residents

In a bid to gather much needed money for one of London's poorest borough's, the mayor has ignored a 1500 signature petition and ordered the sale of a Henry Moore sculpture, gifted to the city at below-market price by the artist in the 60s. The petition is signed by citizens and artists, some famous, and many have condemned the sale, while the government cites huge budget cuts and "regrets" the "tough decision" that needed to be made...take a look.
