I coped fine but the older lady who lived downstairs was quite shaken up by it actually (she had the ground floor flat so in a way it was 'her' gatepost). It's easy to dismiss these things when they don't bother you, or affect your perceptions of security. I completely agree with you that spending money on all of those things is a higher priority than removing graffiti, but that doesn't make graffiti right or removing it wrong.
My original point was that the clean up for Mobstr's 'witty' interaction with Tower Hamlets cost £600, which could have been spent on something more important like any of those things. They spend about £200k a year cleaning it up and if there wasn't any graffiti to clean up they'd have about £200k to spend on more important things.

Tag on your gatepost, what a doozie, how ever did you manage? So glad to hear the council sorted it instead of spending that money on housing the homeless, or refuges for domestic violence victims, or upping benefits for the disabled, or feeding the hungry, or funding rape crisis centres, or education, or childcare services, or keeping hospitals and surgeries open. Fuck those wanker taggers and fuck everyone who needs those services, keeping London pretty is top priority.
