Assuming it is he who has produced it. Who knows? That’s the trouble when you do things in secret under an alias. How do we know if he (let’s assume it is a he) hasn’t really been dead for years and is now just being copied by at least one imposter? How do we know there ever even was an individual behind these works to begin with? But putting that to one side…
I remember he spray painted some vaguely interesting pieces around 20 years ago. One of them was a big rat on the side of a decrepit old building in Liverpool, which had created some graffiti of its own. Whether an autobiographical piece or not I don’t know, but it seemed vaguely edgy and didn’t have any obvious political connotations. There was also the element of novelty and intrigue.
However, most of what I see attributed to this artist, particularly in more recent years, is sickly, cheesy crap with a distinctly left wing flavour. A girl who has let go of her balloon, “aawww!”. Some tripe about our heroes in the NHS. An antifa thug throwing a bunch of flowers instead of a molotov cocktail. A judge attacking a protestor (perhaps a Palestinian one, or a climate change nutter, or… maybe one of the Southport rioters…? It was unclear, we can pretty much make of it what we please – everyone’s a winner).
The latest one might be the statue in central London, shown at the link below. People are speculating that it is his work. It looks to me as though it shows Donald Trump marching with a flag, but being blinded by his patriotism or something. The individual depicted appears ridiculous. Other messaging would seem to suggest we should beware of any flags associated with men wearing western attire. We could speculate further that it is against patriotism, countries, those who present as strong leaders, white men. It has a lefty, globalist sort of tinge to it.
The first thing idiots in the comments ask is “but how does he do it? There are cameras everywhere!” … perhaps because “he” is on the payroll of the state and this regime-approved, progressive slop looks distinctly like a Nudge Unit psy-op? It presents all of the official narratives you would expect to see on the BBC and most other mainstream media outlets, but plays the trick of presenting itself as mysterious and subversive. People are distracted by the apparent randomness and how it got there.
I might appear paranoid and one with conspiratorial instincts, but it seems to me that we are, more than ever, subjected to a never ending pack of lies. This supposedly edgy graffiti and other such garbage reminds me a lot of that awful shite on Netflix called “Adolescence”. Remember how the Prime Minister kept plugging that attack on the white nuclear family as a “documentary”? It all has the suspicious air of not ringing true. Not being particularly authentic. Like clumsy propaganda.
The more and more we have sleep walked into a totalitarian society, so it is that the regime (the state and/or others) and its narratives infest all corners of life. It becomes, as the word suggests, “total”. You cannot trust any news report, trial, public inquiry, entertainment, art, even protests seem to be largely astroturfed affairs and when they aren’t, the state will respond very rapidly in draconian fashion.
Diversity is our strength, comrades!

The idea that this cunt is anti-establishment is another example of the gaslighting promulgated by the leftist apparatus.
Anyone who thinks he managed to sneak into the heart of London and erect his snivelling propaganda which is doing the work of the socialist regime is deluded. This is the outcome of proposals, negotiations, security arrangements, authorisations and payments; all to excite anti “far-right” sentiment amongst the sandal wearing tofu munchers.
Like with Just Stop Oil, or the refugees-welcome bunch, they’re all doing the work of the leftist tyrants and their WEF paymasters.

Who would have thought that being right wing would become the new counter culture.

My son, who lives in Denmark made the very astute observation that “The British government are a fucking joke”.
He doesn’t even live here and he knows what a shower of shit we have running this country.
Makes you wonder what the rest of the world thinks of Starmführer and Co.

The whole pretence by the media that they don’t know who this leftie tosspot is has become incredibly tiresome.
Try spray painting ‘Banksy is a Hamas loving cunt’ on the side of someone’s house in six foot high letters and see how long you remain ‘mysteriously anonymous’.
About three minutes would be my guess.

That statue is off pall mall, one of the most heavily cctv area in London.
We are led to believe this posho twat turned up with a low loader and installed a statue..
You can’t stop in a loading bay for two minutes, without a pavement ape or pàki traffic warden turning up.
Stencilling twat..hope you get COPD from all the spray paint fumes.

He has free rein to display his “art” in public spaces and to vandalise walls on public and private property with his graffiti. If he was perceived to hold political views to the right of Labour he would have been stopped in his tracks years ago. An example of Britain’s two tier justice. For those who call this a conspiracy theory I have four words; Lucy Connolly, Ricky Jones.

Excellent nomination.
Multi millionaire, public schoolboy Banksy, real name Zack Yaxley-Gunningham, pays his employees to stencil on walls. Though tbh I’ve seen better cock & balls graffiti on disused railway buildings.
But now a sculpture! WOWZER!
Bravo comrade! Viva la revolution!
But here’s an idea. If you really want to demonstrate your anti-establishment credentials, do us a drawing of Starmsky firing his load up a fresh Ukranian fudge tunnel.

Looks nothing like the fat demented fuck – Donny can barely walk, let alone march!

There’s one supposedly near where I live on the seafront. When it first appeared I would tell onlookers that a little old lady did it whilst I’d been cycling bye. She was carrying tins of paint in a Tesco carrier bag and was still daubing away when on the way back. It’s still there and been tampered with over the years, but trying to protect it has failed.

It’s too late.
We should have given them the Mussolini treatment the day the first public CCTV camera went up, and tidied up the dregs the day the first law was proposed limiting freedom of speech. We didn’t, we let it slide, and now the cunts have us.

He loos like a tramp and is certainly in need of a very thorough thrashing.
The sanctimonious woke cunt.
Good morning.

I think I could be a really good leftie commie….. If Banksy ever wanted to graffiti the outside of my house I would like all good leftie hypocrites have him arrested for criminal damage and then sell the house for millions to some chinless wonder.
