The document discusses graffiti and how it is covered up with paint in unattractive ways. While not everyone appreciates graffiti as art, the document argues that graffiti can sometimes be funny or beautiful. It suggests that if graffiti needs to be covered, it should be done in a more aesthetically pleasing manner than using ugly patches of paint.

1. Ugly blocks of paint are not
nicer to look at than graffiti.
All around Colchester you can see places
where graffiti has been covered up like
this.
Not everyone likes graffiti or appreciates
it as an art form it is certainly nicer to
look at than patchy paint.
Graffiti can be funny (this was snapped in
Colchester during the 2010 election).
Graffiti can be beautiful (see Helen and I
on the moors).
If it has to be covered up, we should find
a prettier way to do it.
