Alan Crosby feels angry because the citizens of York have failed to build a wall on which he and his fellow vandals can display their dubious "art". (Behind The News, March 19).

Well, Mr Crosby, as a council tax payer, I don't see why I should have to fund your prolific vandalism which, most definitely, is not art.

Just because tax payers, through the city council, have failed to pander to your distorted views of what is art is it is no reason to go round the city showing the world what rubbish you are capable of producing.

If you have any genuine artistic talents enrol at an art college where your "talents" can be directed into less destructive channels.
