Although the image was very popular, Transport for London claimed that the graffiti created "a general atmosphere of neglect and social decay which in turn encourages crime" and their staff are "professional cleaners not professional art critics".
雖然這個圖案大受公眾歡迎，不過倫敦交通局卻怒不可遏，宣稱這個塗鴉造成“一種疏於看管、社會腐敗的氛圍，並會反過來鼓勵犯罪活動”還有他們的職員是“專業的清潔工人而不是專業的藝術評論家”。
