Three killed after being hit by a train in London.

[Stedman]

It's sad people have died but trespassers on the railway usually know the risks, most usually don't become a statistic but occasionally some do.

Am I dong this art based vandalism correctly?

urely there ought to be a legal place for it not on other peoples property

I believe there are some councils who provide walls to do this that are repainted white at semi-regular intervals but this removes the 'excitement' aspect of doing it illegally so its not the same thing. This is why they prefer the sides of trains, lineside infrastructure and whatever else.

For some reason the female one seem to be named after semi precious stones, Jade, Ruby, Amber, Tanzaninte. Well maybe not the last one bit hard for them to spell. But you get my point. These kids are if female all aspiring/talented actresses/models, and if boys talented footballers. I suppose the concept of getting on if life through just getting a regular job and working just isn't in the parents world view.

But then it is just an echo chamber for gammon's.

Graffiti is what it is, if you wanted to get into it it could be argued it's in human nature from early man doing cave drawings etc etc.
It is an Art form and regardless of whether you like it or not or if you think it is a crime, basking on glee at the death of human beings is a bit absurd and very gammon.
Each to their own i guess.

Erm, graffiti is an offence of criminal damage whether anyone thinks it is or not. Cave drawings depicting everyday life for posterity are very different from tags. I agree that any glee over another's death is distasteful in the extreme. Welcome to PH.

It's not glee, it's more a reaction to the attempt to whip up an out pouring of grief for 3 adult morons who decided to trespass on a railway track, ignored all the warning signs, and got run over. The utter tts.

True, but go over to the Tommy Robinson appreciation thread and we have many gammons saying he is a political prisoner and he didn't commit any crime etc etc.
People do all the nudge nudge wink wink i was speeding but on a clear road at 6am it was a private road etc etc... still a crime to break speed limits.....

I used to skateboard and they called that a fking crime 4fucsache..

Where are these attempts ?

I asked the question earlier in the thread and it still hasn’t been answered

This thread has absolutely zero whipping up but an awful lot of pre-emption.

Tabloids in writing frothing negative stories about the railway shocker.

Speaking ad a train driver, I'm fairly meh about it. Sad but fk about on the railway at your peril. Most fatalitys are suicides a few years ago a body was found on the line just by royal oak near Paddington. A NYE reveller who took a shortcut and paid the price. The train who hit them didnt even realise as it was a good friend and colleague who discovered the body on a journey into Paddington on first journey of the day (01/01)

Indeed.

The council telling you that you are allowed to paint a wall round the back of a warehouse or whatever, isn't particularly exciting.

Same as the urban explorer phototographers.

They wouldn't get a tenth of the photos they get if they tried to do things legally.

"Hi, just wondered if you mind me taking the lift to the top of The Shard, then climbing up the outside of the building and onto the maintenance crane at the top, so I can take an unbelievably spectacular photo of London at night?"

I think we can all agree it would never be allowed.

I can legally take my 911 on a track day and drive at 150mph, but my god it's more exciting to do it on a dual carriageway.

Where?
Their friends and family and some fellow Artists have paid tribute, the rest is simply reporting. You are making up st in your head Gammon to make you angry....
Personally as someone who used to commute on the trains around London much of the graffiti cheered up some God awful st holes which the train companies neglected.

So you won't mind if we come round and graffiti your god awful car to cheer us all up?

Or would you consider my tagging it as criminal damage?

Some of us might consider it as art.
