Just time for a Daily Mail article before I go

It's a f--king piss take and the idiots who sanctioned it should be hung, etc.

Why? I consider graffiti a valid form of artistic expression, some stuff is really good (although most isn't).

All this fuss over £3,000... having a meeting to discuss it probably cost way more than that.

I like the message, but considering how much tax money goes into exhibitions of more traditional art £3000 is nothing, if you consider graffiti to be art.
Even if you don't, and it does reduce the amount of money spent on cleaning up paint elsewhere, then it's exactly the same principle as a skate park.

edit: Or was all this obvious and I'm supposed to be laughing at the conservative fuddy-duddy bias?

Interestingly, the irate tax payer can't be done for doing it, as it's graffiti!

This was in the Telegraph - why not use a link from there?
