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.

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.
18
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.
15
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.
19
… aha, but what if “Robin Gunningham” is also a fake identity?
As Churchill once said it is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Or, as I like to muse, it is a shite wrapped in a McDonald`s carton inside a binbag.
🧻

That’s an interesting thought I hadn’t considered Sam.
Maybe he’s a double agent, just purporting to a paid State propagandist, but actually creatively undermining the left-wing establishment’s narrative with his deliberately clumsy messaging. How very John le Carré.
Trouble is, most of the hoi polloi swallow his agitprop crap hook line and sinker.
So no, I’m sticking with Robin Gunningham, privileged Moet Marxist cunt.

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.
6
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.
11
I think it looks like those statues you see in north korea. Wouldn’t be at all surprised of it was andy burnham, real name andrew burnham, under the flag. It’s just in preparation for the coming of labour’s messiah. In other news, norfolk plod have managed to unearth a “far right terrorist” – young lad who had some books. Yep, we are in the Socialist Soviet Republic of the Ukay.

I notice one charge is damaging property with graffiti. See my post at 07:45 am.

When persons of a nonentity status are mentioned on here, “I’ve got it off pat” not to read any further due the continuing monotonous of it.

Tell you what, if the cunt sprayed graffiti on my gable end I’d kick the fuck out of him..!

He should be made to wash it all off as part of his Community Service, given an ASBO and fined a million pounds, which he can easily afford.
You can fill a lot of potholes with a million quid.

I have always thought “Banksy” is Ed Miliband, deluded enough to think he is an artist because he did so well with his painting by numbers kit back in 1975. If I were him I would do a sculpture of Jess Phillips nude, her bronzed young breasts complimented with a twelve inch penis and very heavy balls.

You should be running the Tate Modern, WC.

You can learn a lot about this Banksy phenomenon by reading the BBC’s coverage of the statue right here:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y9wlnwl85o
I defy anybody to find a more blatant and arse crawling puff piece than this. There are bureaucrats in China’s propaganda ministry who would cringe at the lack of subtlety. And the fact that they are playing along with the “gosh, how does he pull it off?” scam is beyond contempt. Britain’s imperial past bad, Banksy does it again… oh do fuck off!
11
I was sent this critique of the latest banksy excretion at the time it appeared. Sums it up pretty well and echoes much of what you say above:

Banksy LOL
Nothing says you’re an anti establishment rebel quite like being an actual establishment propagandist.
The fucking tosser.
13
We should be careful what’s said on here. Banksy could decides to get his mad up and claim all rights to his daubs and a lot of property will be going for a burton if he decides to take them home with him.
5
My attempt at being the new Banksy were met with scorn and derision when I showed my artwork to work colleagues.
It was a very modern piece too, up to date with current affairs.
It was a detailed rendition of a crying white woman being raped on Bournemouth beach by a pack of smiling nıgģers.
Apparently, it was just ‘too much’.

Its going to have to be called nlggering in future and we’ll all know what it means without having to be told.

Could have done edgy artwork about the ongoing loss of freedoms, declining living standards, and imported violence against ordinary people because immigration makes money for rich people.
Decided instead to be a lickspittal for the establishment. Far easier and more lucrative to be fair. Just a shame so many people haven’t cottoned on.
6
If Wanksy really wanted to be edgy and not just a vehicle for the BBC and the bourgeoisie Islington wine circle bellends to jizz themselves into a stupor over go and erect a piece in central Beijing or Red Square. I suppose its meant to be Trump or even Farage or maybe a nod to the naughty British Empire…..a 100 years after its peak. Having recently been told the Army could just about take a small market town on a good day, I think the world can sleep easy for time being.

Robin is as edgy as those bumhole felching pànsy’s, led by donkeys.
Those almond milk drinking soy boys, are still banging on about liz truss and farage..

But andy burnham does a truss and spooks the markets before he’s anywhere near the levers of power. Doesn’t bode well does it?

Cunt is precisely a cunt and should be inside doing porridge for his crimes against good taste.
