Dr John Schofield of York University claims offensive graffiti on a wall behind some cupboards in a flat in Tin Pan Alley is that of Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten and is a more important find than lost Beatles tapes discovered by the BBC.
The graffiti shows slogans and scribbles and eight sketches apparently made by Johnny when the band lived together in the flat. Dr Scholfield claims the work is " a direct and powerful representation of a radical and dramatic movement of rebellion." What does he think "God Save the Queen" was all about?
The good doctor likens the scrawl to prehistoric cave paintings found in Lascaus France insisting that the flat is an "important site both historically and archaeologically for the material and evidence it contains."
In the year 6565 our future inhabitants of planet Earth will be thanking Dr Schofield for his forethought and conviction.
