Banksy strikes again...

Sorry, in my eyes the guy is a genius. OK, he started out the wrong way, but it was his utter brilliant artwork that stood head and shoulders above any mere graffiti twat.

Yes I can, the first is robbing me by destroying my fence which I will have to pay to replace. The second is giving me a thing of beauty to enjoy and that is worth thousands of pounds, so has enriched me aesthetically and financially.
Banksy please come paint my boat

Wasn't my fence, but a communal one. Leads onto a path that local gutter trash use to get to and froth a no mark school. They knock it down, because it then provide quite a short cut for them. Leaving our gardens and garages open to anyone.

Vandal he was, but still hugely talented. Where you so innocent a teenager/young man?

I NEVER vandalised anything. And most of my time was spent either on the drill square, on the shooting range, or at sea.

His was spent developing his talent, any way he could.

You could say the same about Ronny Biggs, or the Kray twins

They are/were all criminals.

Yes, but Banksy will go down in history for his artistic genius.

Hopefully he will go down in court first.

Zero tolerance for criminals.

Banksy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I admire him enormously, he could choose celebrity and welath easily, but he remains obscure and aloof from all those trappings.
