I think some people on this thread, like the person you have quoted here must be unsure what tagging actually is.

Exactly
I quite like some of the street art and murals, but am getting bit sick of the massive growth in random tagging and graffiti in the last couple of years in Brighton.
Interestingly, just having spent a long weekend in Liverpool, I was struck by the almost complete absence of tagging in most of the city (not just the touristy bits) and by generally how well kept, clean and lacking in litter the city streets and parks seemed to be. It was different than I expected and different than I remembered from the 80s and a refreshing contrast to Brighton in that respect.
They do seem to have a similar number of street sleepers, however.

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.
So can I get this straight Mr Tubthumper, a bloke who has enough time on his hands to post on here 41,686 times (equivalent of 1 post a day for 114 years) speaks like he's a youngster down with the kids. If so surely you should be out tagging the dustbins in your cul-de-sac to give it a more "edgy" feel...

Meanwhile Liverpool City Centre looks fantastic. A great mix of old buildings restored and new buildings where a load of run down places used to be. Brighton's Arches will go the way of the West Pier because not enough people care.

This. Tagging is of no more merit than feline scent marking or dogs pissing on lampposts. And these talentless no-marks defacing decent street art is worse than writing on blank walls.

Tagging is pathetic and they should be mocked and laughed at. To actually think your cleaver for scrawling some illedgable shit on building where people actually work for a living
That's the first time I've ever heard it called that!

Some art is brilliant.
That art enhances an area. Witty. I like it.
