It's only ink\paint, it comes off AND it keeps John, Fred, bill & Frank off the DOLE!

I am an 'old timer' and don't like most graffiti. Banksy is very welcome to put a mural on my wall and I think the 'Hub Festival' in Liverpool is great for young graffiti artists to show off their talent without upsetting the general population.Coupled with the jumping off walls thing-I don't remember what it is called, and the bike stunts it's a good festival for all ages.

Political graffiti say in Belfast or Berlin, has had historic value and part of tourist trail.
Graffiti in Liscard is probably beyond the pale.

I lived in Liscard when young and it is true when M&S went it was the death-knell and you need to go as stated today on the forum, further afield for most shopping.

Get used to it! No, no and no. If you think this black stuff will come of the material that Barclays bank is built of then you are much mistaken. Possibly if they sand blast the whole building but I bet you will see where it was if not. It is not just a tiny bit of graffiti, but daubed across the walls of three banks. Santander was given the treatment also.

If people accept this as the norm then we might as well give up now. I live in Liscard and it has problems the same as other places but we don't have to make it worse by condoning this kind of thing, no matter what you feel about financial institutions. They don't give a toss anyway because none of the major players would live within two hundred miles of the North West.

Steve Biko was a black activist in South Africa who was fatally injured by the police during interrogation.

Various British universities have buildings named after him and there are quite a few references to him in music, some quite recent.
