    You can’t pick and choose which law you want to ignore.
    Speeding is just as much an offence as graffiti.

    Banksy? He can paint a pic on my wall whenever he wants.

    The recent one he did in Port Talbot is just over the hill from where I live. Apparently the guy is fucked off with all the people turning up to look and take pics of it! :D

    He's that pissed off, he's had screens placed around it to protect its value.

    Now 2 pages long, I have to ask @bazzashadow was there a specific reason for posting this poll/discussion? I mean, might you be a closet 'artist' with designs on making your own mark in the community? Might you have a swag of spray cans and brushes in a Givi Bag on your Blade ready for a clandestine attack on an unsuspecting building?

    Or might you just be a serial pot stirrer who relishes the enjoyment of to and fro debates?:cool::D

    THF the Banksy (as usual) is very thought provoking and that is what he's about.
    Although he is a vandal

    And who pays for that?

    The community?

    A Council Tax increase next year to protect this piece of 'art'?

    I've always had my suspicions but now I'm absolutely sure that you are the original...

    Yours Sincerely,

    Banksy is a fake in my eyes he wasn't the original street art just nicked the idea, look up Blek Le Rat he started it all in Paris donkeys keys ago and is still going strong.

    The Brit pop with shoreditch and people with too much money for there own good.


    Also look up Banksy and King Robbo who was far more talented in my eyes.

    Only because those people have no creative ability of their own, nor the morals to respect others' works:rolleyes:.

    Draw the raised bridge is my favourite Banksy. I love his drawings but don't neccesarily like graffiti so I'm a hypocrite. The Dismaland thing and the self shredding artwork in the auction house was nonsense.

    He's done well to do as many as he has and still manage to protect his identity especially in an age where everyone has a camera phone hooked up to twitter/Facebook.

    Just goes to how we have such diffences of opinion. Shredding artwork, pure genius.
