I've recently seen on my travels some rather, interesting would be too much of a compliment, unmissable graffiti appearing around Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. The general theme and style of this graffiti is one foot (or larger) black dawbing with seemingly anti-capitalist messages. So here's a run-down of the ones observed in the last week:
Cambourne, side of bridge for Bourn Road - "$SELL OUT!"
Dunton, phone exchange or transformer housing on Eastern end of village - "STOP CAPITOLISM"
Biggleswade, behind Rainbow stores, "WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING A LIFE IF YOU CANT LIVE IT"
Depressing stuff, but also amusing, are the grammatical errors deliberate? Did the dawber deliberately mispell 'capitalism', or were they - as my learned friend pointed out - trying to create a word that would make the phrase mean, "Stop the Roman Empire"?
