I'll come and paint some picture on your wall then shall I? All in the name of individual thinking and freedom of expression?! All very well if he has permission to do it but on several occasions he hasn't. Plus he uses stencils, I'm much more impressed by free hand graffiti art

Absolutely but soxy's (I think) point stands....if you or I were to go round painting images on walls without we would get in trouble. As I said, if he had permission to paint where he painted then it's all good, but if not, why is he immune from that just because he is a social commentator/artist etc?

Was it Brighton and Hove council or somewhere that painted over one of his works because he didn't ask permission? One with pigeons being mean to a migrant bird?

There is no difference between Banksy and other graffiti artists; they are all vandals in the eyes of the law.

Councils up and down the country spend millions of pounds cleaning the graffiti off walls and pavements.

What gives Banksy the right to interfere with other people's property?

He took the decision to foul other people’s property as a short cut to becoming famous.

He could have done what thousands of other artists up and down the country do and use paper, board or even his own property for his art but he didn’t.

That makes him a vandal.

There is no difference between the vandalisation of property by Banksy and the vandalisation of bus and train seats a number of years ago by those vandals that expressed their art by ripping the seats with knives

It's good that society celebrates him(i think)for his political activism. This in turn has made him popular. 'He' has engaged people on a political level, which in itself is to be celebrated.

Ironic that he's now become part of the establishment with his work being exhibited in prominent galleries..

Technically i suppose it's some kind of crime, but need to be wary of castigating him as he's an important part of the democratic process in this country. Which is currently a bit crap at this.

On top of which if he has something on your wall your property price will probably increase...

But fair enough if you think it looks unsightly;your opinion and all that, which is fair enough.

Wouldn't even think twice about it to be honest, I'd sell the house with the painting on it, and buy a much nicer house to live in.

I'd live to hear the thoughts of anyone from Belfast, with regards to the difference between the murals, that were born of the troubles, and banksy's work, do the murals still stand, do you consider them an important part of the cities history ?

Yet advertisements are shoved in our face everywhere, without our express permission, and this isn't called vandalism. Despite it being ugly and defacing your local area. Can't think of anything more ugly than using others and their space to benefit from them for yourself and to boost your profits.

Only when you make a statement against the government, or try to give yourself a place in society, is it called vandalism.

They don't know who Banksy is still, just speculating.
