Joe Korr solemnly burned his collection of rare things Sex Pistols, he did not ignore the policy, adding to the fire puppets with faces of British officials.
The journalists managed to capture the photos of David Cameron, George Osborne, Boris Johnson attached to the faces of the mannequins.
The action took place in the middle of the river Thames in the center of London, on the boat were loaded audio recordings, posters, clothes made for the band members of the most Vivienne Westwood. The collection of rarities was estimated by fans of punk culture at 5-6 million pounds sterling and could grow in price over time.
In an interview after the action, Joe Corr admitted that he wanted to shock the audience and show how the punk culture of the 80s was dying. Avant-garde flow, according to the designer, has turned into a mass culture and is perceived as McDonald's. Corr said:
Panku has nothing to give modern youth, he ideologically died! It's time to burn everything old and start looking for new inspiration.

Burning turned out to be a fiction?
It is suspected that the burning of the rarity of things Sex Pistols was just a fiction. Thus, the eccentric designer and creative director of the fashion house wanted to draw attention to himself and the creativity of the punk band. Judging by the agiotage among the fans, he succeeded!
