Good Riddance to Bad Shit

An article in this weeks Camden New Journal lightened my heart.A piece of graffiti that has blighted the area, not that it takes a lot of blighting, has been almost removed.
This was culled from the blog of some burk.
While everyone was busy watching last night's fire, an act of destruction was taking place at the other end of Chalk Farm Road.
The famous maid stencil by Banksy is in a parlous state. Someone has painted over most of the image, and stenciled the words 'all the best' over the top.
Small groups keep pausing in front of the defaced mural, possibly on their way back from looking at the fire damage. Throw in the Stables Market, currently being reimagined by developers, and Camden Town is looking like one big epicentre of lost heritage right now.
Apocalypse NW1.
Am I missing something? I think not. What I have noticed is that all the morons who are mourning this piece of shit are those who wear their trousers halfway down their arse.
