ehb102 Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 16 hours ago, Weihrauch17 said: Why are they defacing pavements with flags anyway? Virtue signalling and forced teaming. That's not the proper Pride flag, that's the "Progress Pride" flag which "includes" brown and black for people of colour (in case they weren't included under LGB - a very racist decision in and of itself), plus the Trans pink and blue (forced teaming - trans is not a sexuality, it's a belief). The trans agenda is anti homosexual and misogynistic in the extreme. Stonewall makes money out of people paying to be educated about their new way of thinking. They are encouraged to do things like this to score "points" to show how compliant they are. Councils love them. The Police are the most Stonewalled institution in this country - but as Stonewall's hate crimes are just another stick to beat women and gays with that's hardly surprising.

Pushkin Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 I would have thought painting anything on a pavement would have been against local if not national byelaws. Now if it was done with chalks, it wouldn't be a problem - would it? pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janner Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 (edited) Banksy is certainly not a vandal, He has used much of his easily earnt fortune for good, I have a feeling that these Banksy exhibitions are not sanctioned by the artist but by some cockey del boy type who has simply cobbled together some pics, genuine or not and hired prominent floor space to exhibit for the delight of the gullible and chronically stupid. A philanthropist like Banksy charging £15 for a cuppa!!, if you believe that then i have some magic beans to sell if you are interested, His thought provoking works in and around the west bank are a joy to behold, The man is a true genius. As with any new art that breaks through there will always be people that dont get it, Edited July 22 by janner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want him prosecuted to the full extent of the law, the only way I'd drop the charges would be if he publicly scrubbed it all back off.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 (edited) Loads more of Banksy's GRAFFITI across London and it is being knicked straight away, saves the council from having to deal with the vandalism.

There is a police investigation 🔎 and forensic officers are on the scene collecting evidence. Anyone that gets burgled can't get a copper out to look, but draw on the pavement and it's call out the full force of the law. The world's gone mad 🙄 Correct!
