Swearing and Graffiti
Its not big, or clever. But it still made me laugh quite a bit. Especially the thought that someone was moved enough by the poster to fetch a step ladder and a handful of stencils.
Yep, its fair to say that Bolton isn't really a Conservative area. In any sense of the word. :)

Update: 30 Jan 2010
A strange footnote to this picture. I noticed a lot of activity (views) coming from the same source, and it appears the the image has stirred quite a debate on a random message board. I have yet to add my £0.02-worth to the board, but will do as the comments there are significantly more negative than those of the kind people below.
Much mention of swearing = limited vocabulary, which doesn't sit right with me. I can think of another single, non-sweary word which so succinctly makes the point that this one does.
Lets also remember that this isn't scrawled across the bottom of the poster in a marker pen. This is some 12-15 feet up (at least), so someone has had to take the time to get a ladder, then make sure that the stenciling is suitably spaced.
Like I said, it’s not big, it’s not clever... but it’s not ignorant either.

Update 2 Feb 2010
It appears another messageboard has picked up on this picture. It never fails to amaze me how random things like this can just snowball.
I did try to join Different Dimention (the first messageboard) so that I could join in the debate on this image and on the use of swaering in general, but as yet I have had no reply from their admin to confirm that i can join. Oh well.
