A notorious tagging crew only identified by the tag @¥uß has been accussed of dirty tricks by the leader of the Roman Party in the local elections after 3 metre high graffiti bearing the legend "Romani ite Domum" was daubed on the Abbey ruins.

Jean Pascual, leader of the 2,000 year old Roman Party complained: "The slogan was clearly visible throughout the whole election campaign. I complained to the council and they did nothing until they were over. This is, how you say, the game of the chicken? Or Fowl play?"

A Council spokesman refuted the claim of any political bias. "Our well publicised anti-graffiti programme is available to all. Only the other day we got a letter of thanks from local resident, a Mr. D. Sutton of Eldon Place, thanking us for the swift removal of some graffiti that was lowering the tone of his neighbourhood."
