Puzzle Description:
In 2002 Kim Howells (then junior Minister at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport) is said to have written a note criticizing the Turner Prize stating: "If this is the best British artists can produce then British art is lost. IT IS COLD MECHANICAL, CONCEPTUAL BULLSH*T. ...The attempts at contextualisation are particularly pathetic and symptomatic of a lack of conviction."

The Turnip Prize is based on the premise: "We know it's rubbish, but is it art?".#2: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 18, 2011
Apologies to any offended by either the image or the quote.

It was inspired by WPC #82, bugaboo, but it's more Pop Art than Conceptual.#5: Leigh Cousins (pog) on Apr 19, 2011
What does Kim Howells know? The one good thing to say about him is that his crass comments on English culture led Steve Knightley to compose what is one of Show of Hands'#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 19, 2011

Ouch! And in America, the entertainment is even worse: some of the best television shows are copies of successful BBC shows.#8: Teresa K (fasstar) on Apr 22, 2011
Beautiful song. Thanks, Leigh. As an American teen of the '60's, all I wanted to listen to was British music.
Great puzzle, Kit.
