Banksy is so overrated. There’s so many newspaper cartoonists who produce better work on a daily basis.
He’s the artistic equivalent of a meme in your DM’s. A quick puff of air from the nose. “heh”

Given all the talk about the GI listed status of the building. I wonder if they got listed building consent to remove the mural? Doing it by the book surely should have included some sample areas to try and find a method to avoid the ghosting that has occurred.

Imagine being the person who had to clean it off. “Hey honey how was your day” “good dear, I had to destroy what would probably be a very expensive work of art at the behest of our government”.

Wow – they could have sold it and put the funds to something useful like art in schools, or similar. Instead, they left a ghostly image more powerful than the original work in proving the point on censorship. Brilliant.

Am I cynical to suggest he is paying the people removing it? It looks far too good half removed.
