Overview
- Council footage shows a man in a white T‑shirt and shorts spray the words “I farted in yoga” on Uxbridge Road hoardings on Saturday 2 May, then pause to check for enforcement and smoke a cigarette after finishing.
- Hammersmith and Fulham Council has removed the graffiti and publicly appealed for information using stills and video but has not announced any arrest.
- The council asked witnesses to contact Crimestoppers, and its post has drawn tens of thousands of social media reactions that have helped the appeal go viral.
- Onlookers in the CCTV, including schoolchildren who laughed at the slogan, and online commenters have split between treating the stunt as humorous street art and calling it criminal damage.
- Reporters placed the incident in the wider London debate over high‑profile street artworks and rapid removals, noting past cases that tested how councils balance enforcement with calls to preserve notable pieces.
