Outside of brockley station for years there was a really tatty area that was just tagged and vandalised, a year or two ago three amazingly beautiful murals were painted by an infamous graffitti artist called KNOWN,who had been vandalising trains etc for years, whilst I hate the graffitti on trains etc these murals have added to the area immensley and like most really good art, other taggers have left these peices alone, and I have lost count of the amount of people I have seen photographing the murals, I think having dedicated graffitti areas is a good idea as it allows some of these young and very talented artists to develop there skills with out damaging peoples private property. I believe if there were more facility for young artists the amount of mindless graffitti would go down, and whilst we will never get rid of graffers we could at least give them a platform to make good art and support them where we can.


Art is a good thing and should be embraced.

Let us be clear


there is no such thing as Bad Art, nor is there Good Art- there is just Art


Whether we follow the oft repeated mantra of those who are the self crowned arbiters of good taste, or we decide for ourselves based on our senses & supposed capacity for individual thought - there is no correct answer.


Art can be individual, collective or corporate - and we see more corporate than any other in these torrid times, yet we may not realise it.


Further discussion on the internets merely tips us into the sucking vortex of wikipedia / anecdotes / Cut & paste wisdom - and that is not a place we should willingly enter

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
