I think it was once a claim for 'the biggest posse in the country' - if I remember right it said 'lumpen proletariat posse'. 1980s humour...
there is another s for shelter sign on a wall in comet street deptford
I think it said 'Lumpen Proletariat Posse' (not so much 80s humour, but...) who were a local kinda anarcho punk band/collective? I think they were based around Nettleton Rd / Telegraph Hill?
Haven't heard of this band before but hopefully somebody can tell us more. Lumpen Proletariat Posse were apparently featured on a 1985 video collection called Impact! (Auto-Edit) that also included Sonic Youth:

I used to love that bit of graffiti. I think it also said Kestrel next to it, which I assumed was a reference to the somewhat lumpen superstrength beveridge. Am I making it up, but was there also Lumpenproletariat posse graffiti in New Cross Gate, somewhere near the station?
I am also nostalgic for "Powerful jab jab" in New Cross, and the Stop the City graffiti on Jerrard St. I think the one about only women bleeding might still be there though, on Wickham Rd?
The graffiti on the bridge in Tanners Hill read 'Free Astrid Proll'
