The empire strikes back...

Well, THH now has it's own graffiti team with an expensively marked van, to supplement and duplicate the council's failing graffiti team.

So, as with the ASB, we are adding another layer of expense and failure. Of course, the new graffiti team must be managed as well, by expensive but unproductive managers who are re-charged in 'administration' and 'management' charges.

Perhaps. everything in the council can be duplicated?

Incidentally, the ASB team which shows such tremendous commitment also has previous form in the council for commitment to (wait for it) overtime. ASB is not being dealt with at any level but the trough is well-attended and feeding time comes often.
