They do what?
Way back in the Thatcher time, when the anti gay clause 28/29/whatever was about to be passed, by way of protest a bunch of us were bent on doing pink graffiti all over town. One of our initial efforts was defaced by a nasty great big message from the National Front. We'd come up with the devastating riposte "GAYS KILL NF SCUM". Only our paintjob didn't go quite as planned. We were working around dawn on Sunday mornings when town was empty but this was our last graffiti of the day and we hit the shift change for the police. Suddenly the streets were full of cop cars and we had to call the guy with the paintbrush off. So there we were, hiding behind the fence watching the filth go by, waiting for a chance to finish, and he'd only got as far as "GAYS KILL" . Gays kill, yeah right, that was the message we wanted to get across. No way we could leave it so kudos to the guy who risked arrest for the sake of the last six letters.
