There was anger last night after London tourist chiefs showed a promotional video featuring a picture of Myra Hindley during their post-Beijing Games party.
The video fleetingly featured a notorious painting of the Moors murderer by artist Marcus Harvey, which shows her face made up of thousands of children’s handprints.
It was shown to hundreds of dignitaries – including London mayor Boris Johnson and Gordon Brown – by Visit London, which is responsible for promoting London and the 2012 Games.

The film was screened on a loop at the invitation-only party at Beijing’s London House, also attended by Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell and London 2012 chairman Lord Coe.
But TV coverage meant millions of TV viewers will also have glimpsed the image.

I remember when she was arrested. That’s just in very bad taste.

knowing the nazi history of the modern olympics and its aryan elite symbolism and philosophies,it starting at strange times, its masonic ritualism that panders to the new world order,i think they done it on purpose because something that disturbing does not happen by accident.that picture is an iconic image of cold evil personified.they are obliged to let us know theyre true colours and i think in the myra hyndley picture we saw them.
