Hyde Park Graffiti Documentary

ITV documentary about attitudes towards graffiti in Hyde Park Leeds & sanctioned walls in which the head of Environmental Enforcement claims that graffiti is 'killing people' & is responsible for a 50% increase in obesity in the area' !!!

Interviews with the street cleaning service, the 'Head of Environmental Enforcement' for Leeds (hahaha - Wilson you tool!) commissioned artists wOMEN 158 & Kube, a rather Naziesque, Police Officer next to a former sanctioned wall - Ian Croft, & graffiti artist / tagger DLD.

Interesting the attitudes presented by the powers that be as they are pretty out of tune with the reality of living in the area & suggests the £500,000 tax payers money spent per year spent on removal is just the tip of the iceberg...

yeah its a total wack doc .... but i put in an appearance as i thought if the council are going to be on running their mouths talking absolute shit, then if a graffer went on and was just straight with people and seems sorted then the general public may realise we aint the enemy, its the beurocrats and suits telling them what they can and cant do with public space. think it gets that point accross and the graffiti removal team bitching, theyd be in the dole que....were creating jobs lol
