Krek & Mers Released
Manchester Street Artists Krek & Mers have finally been released from prison. The Court of Appeal even went so far as to remove the ASBOs they had been given. Lets hope this has sent a strong enough message to the Police and Judiciary, in particular the British Transport Police who are well known to take a harsher stance on graffiti than any other public body. Can this really be justified? The British Transport Police failed to stop some serious terrorism on British railway lines last year. Perhaps if they used less resources chasing after young artists and more time protecting us from real dangers. I wonder who decided that a Police division designed to look after buses and trains should be justified in putting street artists in prison?
