Forums Forums Lost & Found Liscard Banks

That's a very strange view of the world, but I understand what you're trying to say with that. I suppose everyone should just throw their litter on the floor too, as then someone can be employed to pick it up, in the same way I suppose we should leave our dog dirt, Kevin can be employed to walk round picking it up. I think you're singlehandedly solved the unemployment problem. Have you considered writing to the Prime Minister?

It doesn't bother me personally as I never set foot in Liscard, there are no shops there that could ever interest me and it's an extra 5 mins in the car and I'm in Birkenhead or Liverpool.

Still, my old Nan who lives a 5 min walk away and doesn't drive is sad to see the state of the place, she harps on about the good old days of Marks and Spencer and some half decent shops.

I didn't say it was right bert but what on earth can we do about it?
The damage has been done so why go on about it?
If it's anything like the graffiti above the shoemarket (which has been there for about 6 months) yes it's very much an eyesore but there's no point moaning on here about it is there?
Contact Angela eagle ffs

Alex stop with the sarcastic comments.

Any pics guys?

I said I understood what you were trying to say but used a very similar analogy that you did to show how I didn't particularly agree with it.

tolerance of these acts, condones more, yes it is only paint, but on some one elses property, just another example of society by its acceptance, constantly lowering the bar to accomodate the simple minded

Well said Tango.

Spot on.

"It's OK, someone will clean it off"

wake up to reality, this is the real world, not some fantasy dreamworld.
Things like this happen, get used to it.

That's precisely the attitude that means it will carry on.

Unfortunately you are probably right, there's more ... locally than there ever has been, you only need to look out of the car window in the middle of Liscard to see that.

Doesn't mean we need to 'get used to it' and tolerate it though, does it. It's still something we should get angry about and attempt to prevent happening again.

I would hate to see the state of the place in a few years time with you and that attitude in charge.

I'm not slagging your views off, just strongly disagreeing with them.

I disagree to Ste... Seen this, Sat night it got done, maybe if Gordon brown never turned the CCTV off around Wallasey last year we may have some one for it now or may not have even done it.

Humans have been and carving names and splashing paint on stone and wood since we used to live in caves and bang rocks together. It isn't an indictment of a drop in the standards of society so please stop with the hand wringing.
I'll say it again... younger people will not have heard of or care about Steve Biko so that's either a brilliant red herring or your completely wrong to assume it's just typical feral kid behaviour. It was probably done by a fourty/fifty year old, male, drunk, and with a grudge against the banks, (maybe recently lost their job/home or somesuch).
It's also my opinion that, whoever it was has got a good idea about whose behaviour is most detrimental to society, more so than those than those who simply choose to blame 'dole ...' for... well everything.

...and if you're wondering and it's removed before you see it, the graffiti is daubed across mostly Lloyds tsd and Barclays banks and IIRC goes along the lines of 'anarchy', 'steve biko murdered' and 'f**k the banks', (except I've spelt it right innit).

I didn't say we had to tolerate it.

I'm right so there's no point in arguing about it.

It will happen again, the racist graffiti around Birkenhead is a prime example and that was in a large mixed race area.

I rest my case, now

Pish, it just means you've run out of argument.
