I make no secret of the fact that I hate town councils. Harvey has a name for the people in town councils who make important decisions - shiny arses - as they sit at their desks and decide what is best for the towns they never get off their backsides to visit, hence they develop shiny arses on their suits.
Hackney council sent their workmen out to paint over Banksy's Royal Family on the Balcony. Tourists come from all over the world to see this or rather they did.
All the amazing detail of the balcony gone.
Makes this Banksy work ironic.
Anyone who uses this for their manifesto is a hero in my eyes.

The paint-out is criminal.
What hypocrites the council has.
Thanks for the steam-cleaner at the Lascaux caves.
I spent too long rambling through Banksys at Image search, and that one is new to me.
He's a visual Alan Bennett really.
I hope (from far away) for retaliation at the town hall.
Your husband is a wise man, I will be using his words for future reference to the council. Queenie
This is madness, the piece could have fetched a lot of money.
