[Brighton] Brighton drowning under grafitti and tagging - is there anything we can do?

[Munkfish]

Wonder what happened to DEAN

What about Junk 72?

How can you enjoy looking at 'tagging'?

Why not? Granted there are some shit tags. But at the same time some are decent and its more the enjoymwt of where you see them pop up and how its done without being caught. Plus all grafiti artists start somwhere.

This tagg is appearing around Haywards Heath any info worth a few pints of Harveys

As already mentioned...

The 14/88 refers to the 14 word slogan of the Aryan nations “we must fight to secure the future, and culture, for our white aryan children”

The 88 refers to the 8th letter of the alphabet (H) and, predictably, means “Heil Hitler”. I never realised Hayward’s Heath was such a hotbed of neo nazism...or racial tension.

Old people complaining about graffiti in a city

I guess music was better in your day as well, when people could actually sing etc etc. What? It’s a quarter past two! These 5ps are a bit fiddly.

There’s **** all you can do about it in a city and you will be far better off expending your energy on something more worthwhile. Just a friendly heads up....you’ll find cities are abit noisy as well.

I took a trip into Brighton the other day and had a mooch about. Perhaps people who live there don't notice, I didn't when I lived there, but my God! It is absolutely filthy. What a hole it is these days.

Most Capital cities are full of graffiti. TBH some of it is quite good and adds to run down areas.
Not sure if many have seen it but a couple of tree huggers carved an Owl scene into a log outside Withdean park, its bloody fantastic. Still waiting for someone to lift it for there back garden

In fairness, when you’ve seen an Italian city I don’t think we’ve got a graffiti problem. Over there it’s on a different scale!

Yep, parts of Bologna have been ruined by it. Where they clamp down on it, the City is beautiful. That said, I don't consider CPFC DIE to be graffiti!

My metal shutter was covered in the stuff. Every morning someone would have added their tag. I have cameras with video evidence but the police aren't interested.
Then a lad offered, free of charge, to paint the shutter with an art work (his words) for free. Nice job, pretty 'art work' and no one has tagged the shutter since.

Maybe it means Haywards Heath. Haywards Heath must be the epicentre of the Aryan Nation!!!!

Does Bushy still live there?

I like it, it adds to the all round crappyness that Brighton exudes so well.

I made this point on here a while back and was shot down in flames. Brighton is looking worse than ever at the moment.

You're not allowed to say anything bad about Brighton, especially to those still living in the Brighton bubble. I don't mind the place particulalrly but there are far, far nicer places in Sussex.

I like graffiti, urban areas look great when they are decorated.

Not so keen on tagging but it kind of goes with the territory.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Tags.
I think some people on this thread are on a wind up if they like this sort of graffiti

 

[Frankie]

I quite like it.

How very dare you like something everyone else seems to hate , you sir are a abomination of modern society , and should be locked up indefinitely on penguin island for your individualistic views , it wouldn't suprise me if you were one of those people that thought the earth was round .

Tagging is just egotistical crap and it quite rightly draws heavy criticism. Graffiti on the other can be just bloody brillinat and we are fortunate enough to have some very talented and creative artists operating in our city more power too them. Taggers though, f**k off and come back when you can actually create something of value.
