:04:45. > :04:47.condemn them in what they have done because graffiti over the top of

:04:48. > :04:52.graffiti is not the answer but I can feel their frustration with the

:04:53. > :04:57.government agencies have failed to take any responsibility for this and

:04:58. > :05:02.remove it. It should have been wiped off straightaway. He says he has
