  • Joe changed the title to Banksy artwork in Rye Lane stolen

A big thank you to Banksy for trying again to give us a beautiful art piece. It looked great. Apologies for the scumbags. Maybe if you are ever Kind enough to  think of us in future you could do a self destructing one that stains their sticky little fingers for a long time.

I imagine Banksy is absolutely delighted each time one of his pieces gets nicked. Lots of press exposure and he still makes millions from prints on coasters, t.shirts and all the other tat. 

Does anyone else think his work is the kind hackneyed dross you'd expect from a first year student, who's just read an idiot's guide to socialism? Always thought it was hype, personally.

Oh gosh this is awful. How terrible. There will be lots of well to do parents trying to explain to Isla and Noah that someone with an ill and working class mind has stolen the picture that they worshipped for ten minutes or less when they were out and about for a whole weekend. The entire country should mourn.

Soz, should have said half a minute. The entire country must mourn x

Three men, masked and in black. Nobody tried to stop them, even when thy ran off. I didn't realise at first it was a robbery. If you see 3 men on a roof doing a job, you don't automatically think they're stealing something. Well, I don't. There were news cameras there already which I thought was odd. The camera man said he'd expected something to happen so he'd just waited. Odd.

They got the dish down the ladder and then ran off down the Rye. If there's ever an Olympic event for running along a crowded street carrying a large satellite dish and a ladder I can recommend this lot.

Not Only Fools and Horses as they didn't drop it.

Another way of looking at it is that the Chartwell Cancer Trust (on whose building the sculpture was fixed - it wasn't a picture) won't benefit from it now it's been stolen. Not from attention, footfall or flogging it.

The artwork wasn't even bolted down.  It seems Mr Banksy likes to make his Peckham artwork very nickable.  It's all part of the spectacle.

I imagine it's his way of making his work accessible to the working class.  I Know of someone whose house he erected a piece of work....she had it carefully removed and earned millions from it. Some would say why shouldn't the working class benefit from it? Some would say it's equal distribution...provided they  replace the satellite dish, pay for the sign..

 

Some would say he commits a crime by defacing public property

Some would say they appreciate the art in their area

 

some would say it's mediocre work.....

Some would say I don't care what it looks like, it could change my life....it's understandably tempting

As an insufferable pedant, I would argue that the last 'piece' was more Camberwell then Peckham (although admittedly debatable).

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
