Although not completely against graffiti per se - some of it is artistically excellent and has merit - I am frankly astounded that a graffiti artist was allowed to deface the Brighton sewers.

Why? Who sanctioned it? Sewers they may be but they are of considerable historical importance to the city. Be a fan of them or not they should be left in their original state.

Those who want to see them can then appreciate them for what they are. Why allow them to be sprayed with graffiti when they have remained in more or less their original condition since Victorian times and are unspoiled? Local historians as well as many residents like me must be appalled.
