Their world is full of poverty and violence. They take shelter in the new ‘reality’ online and turn their heads away from an uncertain future where pollution, climate change and wars over supplies of water will damage and destroy the real world around them.
How – in the face of all of this – can we teach them respect and to let things stand as they are – not tainted by the human equivalent of a dog cocking its leg?
I have reported this on Fix My Street before any of the ‘Bath Brethren’ start having a go at me!
When ever was the World not full of poverty and violence? It is the way of life, human and animal – adapt and accommodate to that you cannot change.
As for graffiti – another argument for better surveillance. What you do not monitor, you cannot control. Some of our fellow citizens are clearly in need of control, for the sake of a sustainable society.
When Natural Theatre had a run at the St Pauli Theatre in Hamburg we bnoticed the whole city seemed to be covered in grafitti. Some brilliaant. Mostly inane and derivative. Every night in the interval the technical crew would run on in black hoodies and tag our set. They started doing this without telling the cast. Audience got it so they carried on doing it. Only thing was they had to clean it off every nnight eady for tomorrows show!
The same graffiti was spotted on the Kensington Meadows monolith on Sunday…
