It’s a funny old world... isn’t it?
I have yet to talk to anyone who revered's Banksy Art.
As far as I am concerned he is just another criminal vandal who deserves to be locked up and made to pay to have all of his **ite removed from wherever they are..
Eyesores the lot of them!







There are tons more about but.
You get my drift?

Perhaps I am being rather cynical though, when I say what happened may encourage MORE graffiti and risk taking.
I see his so called friends are already posting shrines all over the place in 'honour' or their dead vandal criminal friends.









Whenever I am about anywhere I absolutely hate graffiti with a vengeance. All it does is deface our towns and cities, and guess who pays for the cleaning up of a lot of this abomination Twink?
WE DO!

All we can do is hope that some families will discourage their children from taking such risks.

Sadly Britain has become so PC that people are afraid to stop the creation of shrines..... but it should be stopped!
I know people want to remember their lost ones , but often the laying of flowers where somebody has died causes problems, because they distract people's attention from staying safe! I remember an elderly couple having a nasty fall in town, where a mother laid flowers, every day, in memory of her son....but never cleared them up! I think a grave is where you should lay floral tributes, not the high street! The couple were taken , by ambulance, to A&E.
Unfortunately, everyone wants their own way these days, and nobody, in charge, has the guts to say "No" so the public will always have to pay one way or another

I do not believe it!

I am agreeing with every word you say there Twink.
Particularly in reference to the PC crowd.
Ruining our country and free speech that lot are.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]

In lovely Rhos On Sea were we live occasionally and we want to get to our local Liddle we take a path and steps to take us over the railway line and this is what we have to pass and see.

Artistry my backside!
Eyesore graffiti, that is what this is!
I could post more pictures from the route, but you get my drift?

Yes, eventually the customer. As with all safety measures.
Even down to the safety shutters on 13A receptacles. But, does that mean we shouldn't do it?

Yes. And the additional insulation on the live and neutral pins on the plugs for that matter.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]

Hi

I have a simple view of this.

It was their choice, their decision, they died as a result of their own personal choice.

That does not mean that I condone their actions, or that I do not think that it was a trgic avoidable loss of live.

My heart goes out to their familes, who will be grieving, so avoidable.

It was however their choive.

I have for more sympathy with the poor sod who was driving the train, he was just doing his job.

I feel sorry for the driver too.

I like some graffiti when it is a work of art, but not meaningless scrawls.

Re: A tragic accident. [Loughborough Junction deaths]

The place where they were spraying had very limited clearance. Rail workers would not be allowed to work there without getting the line blocked to all trains.
