Graffiti cleanup provokes scandal in London
This article turns the tables on most people's ideas of graffiti... it discusses how upset people recently were in London when two pieces by Banksy were jetwashed away.
To make matters worse, the street cleaners did not deem the graffiti worthy of being photographed before destruction, as is their usual policy. Nor did they seek permission from the building’s owners. The council has now admitted its blunder and apologised.
