It's graffiti cover-up. You can see some still visible to the right of the shot. Someone was told to 'go out and cover up any graffiti you see' and they duly obliged.
Good article. Good arguments. If we've nothing to hide, then install cameras in our bathrooms; after all, we're not doing anything wrong.

We're the most watched country on earth, yet we're Europe's high crime country There are 14m+ cameras trained on us. Who's watching? Where is this data being stored? Who has access to it? Who owns it? What is it being used for?
They missed out the one it's really in place for: 'parking contraventions'. CCTV is useless against anything else. Just ask the victims of 7/7, for example.
Two weeks, last time I tried, so no long holidays when your tax is up, or you'll find your car removed and crushed, or auctioned off at a knock-down price, as my mate once experienced.
'Failing to Display a Tax Disc' is seldom used thesedays because a quick check with the DVLA will usually settle things, especially with ANPR technology. Ask any biker - we can go for weeks forgetting to dismantle the holder and pop a new disc in. All I've ever had is a DVLA sticker saying 'We will be checking to see if you have a valid vehicle licence and fining you in the post if you don't' placed on the saddle. This looks like a pair of PCSOs killing some time at the end of their shift. If only they were as vigilant when it comes to litter and graffiti...
