“Three artworks by street artist Banksy have cost taxpayers almost £150,000 in cleaning operations and security so far, with the bill expected to rise.
The largest single cost relates to a mural painted on the Royal Courts of Justice in September 2025, where removal efforts and security have so far cost more than £85,000.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) says it has spent £50,000 trying to remove paint from the wall of the Grade II-listed building in Carey Street. A further £35,300 was spent on overtime and security costs.”
How about making the sobbing social justice warrior millionaire shithouse cunt foot the bill for his left wing twee spray can mess?

You could build a new wall for 50 grand.
Who comes up with these figures?

companies put in tenders and inflate the prices knowing that the twats overlooking it are willing to fritter money away like Viv Nichols.

You could get a few homeless people to clean the shit off the wall for a couple of cans of beer.
50 fucking grand?
And why does it need security guards?
It’s not like anyone can nick it.
The link says that cunt Banksy makes artwork affordable to see by the masses.
It talks about saving money on gallery expenses.
I didn’t think that galleries charged an entrance fee.
They certainly didn’t the last time that I visited one.

There ought to be an investigation into how those ludicrous numbers came about. But it would probably take 3 months and cost £375,000..

send him the bill.
His names Robin and he’s a posh middle aged twat from Bristol.
he’s a multimillionaire anarchist
he can afford it.
sort of like his picture though.
a judge beating a protester with his gavel.

Couldn’t robins face be used as a brillo pad, to remove the graffiti from the wall.
Worth a try in my eyes..

If Banksy wanted to be brave, he’d stencil (not ‘proper’ art, is it? Fucking stencilling. Don’t recall any of Constable’s beautiful paintings being stencilled) an underage girl being sexually assaulted by a gang of fat pakıs or a woman with a halfrican baby and no father in sight.
I know this isn’t the point of the nom, but fuck Banksy. Oh, and fuck Damien Hurst too, while we’re at it.
And fuck the whole world of pretentious art nonsense.

Primary school-level stencilling by the two blokes he employs while Gunningham sits back and counts the money.
A couple of suggestions –
1. A white couple being robbed of their Rolexes by a pair of knife-wielding sambós on a wall in Notting Hell.
2. An Israeli girl tied to a tree being gang raped by 5 Hamas jihadis then stabbed to death. Stencil it on Gary Linekunt’s house.

His artwork looks like a paint by numbers project.
Basically, it’s shit.
Proof is in the fact that he has to post videos of him doing the work to verify that it’s his.
Anyone could forge it.

Banksy is the type of twat who has dinner parties.
eats hummus.
wears vegan doc martens
gives his kids oddball names
wears Palestinian neck rags
and weeps in butchers shops.
Go to Middlesbrough.
do some artwork there,
the local kids are lovely and will carry your stencils from the range rover for you Robin…

The authorities are missing a trick here.
They should build a screen round it and charge people to come and look at it.
No photos ( unless you slip security a £20 ).
It’d piss Banksy off and cover the costs.

Got to say I don’t think his artwork is rubbish some of it i like.
its him I dislike.
poseur.
he did a copy of Constables ‘the haywain’
but with those mounted cctv cameras on the banks and discarded shopping trolleys in the river.
I thought that was good.
and I’m probably right.
