“The world’s not that bad. It’s your government that sucks”

“The world’s not that bad. It’s your government that sucks” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The message was used in street art in Dawlish, UK, by artist NME in April 2016.

“The World’s Not That Bad” by NME in Dawlish, UK
April 21, 2016
British artist NME just sent us some images from his latest artwork which was painted somewhere in an abandoned building in the city of Dawlish, UK.
 
Entitled “The World’s Not That Bad – It’s Your Government That Sucks.”, NME brought to life some of his cheeky signature stencil imagery which will surely surprise the occasional urban explorers.
 
Based in Teignmouth, NME has been spreading the love, specifically with his bubble works, which have appeared on many a wall, fence or various other surfaces around his local area.
