Eight graffiti gang members were【C1】con______of causing £ 5000 worth of damage on the London Underground. They are among more than 70 hard-core graffiti artists thought to be operating in London today. Most of them are under 20.

Some people【C2】r______graffiti as a form of vandalism and a menace. London Underground says that rail users find it ugly and【C3】of______.

Even some of those who think graffiti are wrong admit that grafters are talented. "It’s just that their artistic talent is channeled【C6】______the wrong direction," says Barry Kogan, a barrister who represented one of the gang members.
Dean Colman, a 24-year-old graffiti artist says, " I’d never spray private property, like someone’s house. Some graffiti are【C7】______(disgust). There’s a big difference【C8】______ that and graffiti which can brighten up grey walls. "
