It's just good that someone's moved to do it.
Maybe it's not trying to be a piece of art, maybe it's just someone that genuinely feels the need to write something like that, to communicate a message like that (however badly spelt), in a public forum.
I know that amongst the mixed feelings I was experiencing last thursday, that's pretty close interpretation of some of them.
That's the good thing about graffiti; there are no rules, and anybody can do it.
I also think that that's what Banksy's work is often trying to capture, that art, the walls and the city is there for anyone to express themselves.
When he sneaks a painting into the Tate, he's saying that anyone can do it... anyone, and everyone deserves to have their art on a wall, in a gallery or on the street. Art like that isn't precious, and neither is his work.
Power to the people.
