According to Underground News Sept 2008, pg 654, while a railway graffiti
vandal was on bail, he was hired by the BBC to spray his tag on the
EastEnders set.

The BBC have been instrumental in encouraging and promoting graffiti for 10
years now. Nothing comes as a surprise to me, but at least I do not pay for
these scum on principle.

Are you saying that someone who has been convicted of something
illegal can never be employed to do something legal?
Your heading implies that the BBC is funding criminal activities.
In fact, the BBC has simply commissioned someone who happens to be
accused of criminal activities to do a specific piece of work for
them. Set decoration carried out according the instructions of the
owner of the set is not illegal as far as I know.

So he might now go looking for work now he realises he can make money by
doing what he loves, rather than make himself a criminal.

If you are going to post to Usenet then please at least ensure that
the Subject line is not totally misleading . Are you saying that
someone who has commited a crime should never again be employed?

It might be legal , but its a legal representation of his illegal
activities. Its a bit like hiring a murderer to play a murderer on TV.
Oh wait , they already did with Leslie Grantham.

Why should he profit from his criminal activities? If he hadn't been
arrested for tagging and got noticed they wouldn't have been employed
by those liberal tossers up at elstree would he?

But he is only profiting when his activities are legal. It really
requires a lot of stretching of points and disregard of plenty worse
things in the world to be able to drum up the tiniest dreg of outrage
about this.

Would you rather the BBC had hired a professional set-painter for ten
times the price?
At least then you'd get to rant about the BBC squandering license-payers'
money instead!

Interesting logic - because there are worse crimes don't worry about
the little things. Didn't the police use that method for a while?
Anyway , a graffiti vandal wants his tag to be seen. What better for
the little twerp than if 3 million people see it on TV. Talk about
rewarding crime.
