Was anyone ever charged and did it get to court? I haven't seen anything further

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).

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
