naming and shaming versus anonymity in graffiti

Last week I came across this angry graffiti, very publicly placed in Muswell Hill:

ma-7322

I can’t remember where I took the next picture, but I am still amused by the juxtaposition of evil and cheese-eating:

ma-00748

Here’s another example of graffiti that points the finger at someone; but this time the identity and gender of the person is left to our imagination. This was taken on a street bench in Hampstead:

ma-3861

Finally, this image from London’s South Bank. I associate the sentiment with the yiddish “kiss mien tuchus” –  a pejorative “kiss my ass” … and so I love the juxtaposition of the regal and very English sounding Edward with this provocation!
