Burnley phantom graffiti appears in Brunshaw

EVIDENCE The graffiti tag EVIDENCE The graffiti tag

GRAFFITI has appeared at locations in an area of Burnley which had been free from that type of vandalism for several years.

Police said that during the last three weeks 10 different locations have been damaged in the Brunshaw area.

The same graffiti ‘tag’ has appeared on bus shelters and telephone supply boxes between the top of Brunshaw Avenue and Lyndhurst Road and police are keen to trace those responsible.

The graffiti has been sprayed with yellow paint and appears to spell the word ‘ear’ alongside a stick man.

Coun Tony Harrison, who represents the Brunshaw ward, said: “The vandalism is a real shame.

The area has been progressing quite well over the past few years.

“I’ve heard that the council have cleaned off the paint soon after it was discovered but it’s very disappointing that this type of behaviour should happen.

“The community here has a very strong relationship with neighbourhood police officers through regular meetings and I’m sure that’s led to fewer incidents of anti-social behaviour.”

PCSO Chris Jackson said: "The area has been graffiti free for a number of years now.

“But this latest escapade has annoyed residents who have been working hard with the local neighbourhood policing team to make the area better.

“If anyone has any information or indeed if anyone knows who is responsible for this graffiti, I would urge them to contact police.”

So you don't get graffiti artists in your fair town of Blackburn? What a lovely place it must be.

This graffiti is an ancient symbol dating back thousands of years in the Mayan cultures it means.
Land of incest.

What an ignoramus. It has been verified by the emeritus Professor of History and a panel of experts at Harvard University that it is an Incan symbol celebrating the demise of a nearby swamp of genetic unfortunates after purveyors of fowl who bought the pathetic 'pride' of the area had foisted a twisted miscreant onto the swamp-dwellers who enraged the tub-thumping Grintwums by his deliberate incompetence. FACT!

You are only going back two thousand years however you will find in the Grintwums readings from the stone slabs found in 13.25 that they came from a tribe of inbred's who plundered their own relatives benefits from cradle to grave.The last of the Grintwums were bred out of existance
in 17.00's by the Dingiwums who were the geat ancestor's of todays people known from Colne to Padiham as the Dingles.

Does anyone else see this tag as the word "earth", the T and the H have been incorporated into one character. I would say yes vandalism is wrong, however, does it merit column space at a time when the nation is going down the pan on local, national and international levels?

Pnnnffftt! 'inbred's' - inappropriate, unnecessary apostrophe. 'relatives' - requiring apostrophe in that case but missing one. Did you just hope by casting/restricting apostrophes (none needed there!) willy-nilly, some of them would find a good home?

Once again our resident knuckle dragger briefly emerges from the slime which covers that beautiful hamlet of racial harmony otherwise known as Blackburn. With a quick stab at English he giggles and runs back to his abode before anyone notices his hill billy clothes.
