fucking brilliant, love it when that tiresome shit gets painted over

You can get shot within a mile of Church St yet they prioritised painting over a tourist attraction. Hackney Council's to-do list is seriously fucked up.

What's next?
What's the most reasonable philological action to take?
restore it? (and if yes, how do it?)
leave it as a monument and warning to the misunderstood graffiti art?
sue the council on the basis of the commercial value of that art piece?

so why do people not like banksy?
As a graffiti writer he's pretty much got what every writer sets out to do... get his name up, with original artwork too.- i think selling screenprints to brad/angeline is not really respected in the communitybolus

The big difference here was that permission was sought and granted to paint the mural - and permission was sought but not granted to paint over it.

Banksy should create a new piece on top of the fresh paint depicting monkeys with paint brushes...
- YEAH THAT WOULD SHOW THEM! ...oh waitfiesta
- Do you think the original 'showed' the royal family?Nightshade

Why is it that any city council anywhere is full of ignorant idiots?
- Shaney0
i do know that you can get VIP passes to most events by ringing up and saying you are banksy's PR office. they've had a good run.

BANKSY = TIRED, BORING, AND INSULT to all the real graff artists who live and breath their art!

yeah! bansky sucks!! He like, totally sold out and I'm waaay cooler than him because I hate him!!
GET OVER YOURSELVES!! ...or show me something more amazing that YOU.. or even a mate.. has done. If not, STFU and join me as I bow before the almighty. He's given graffiti artists all over the world a break from all out hatred, and I'm sorry to say but he's a pretty damn good artist as well.
And @necro.. he is probably one of a thousand in the world that live eat shit graffiti. the rother 99% are just hobbyist punks.
