Rightly so! Good effort by the staff! I had a look on my way home and noticed it was all clean! So any clues to why that guy painted over it in the first place?

Banksy Poundland/Jubilee piece painted over!, by iamzero on Feb 16, 2013 22:04:08 GMT 1, Such a shame and glad I got to see it last year but with something potentially worth so much money how could you leave it on show and open to vandalism? I guess sadly I would've done the same and cashed in.

Banksy Poundland/Jubilee piece painted over!, by lha on Feb 16, 2013 23:27:00 GMT 1, :-( Such a shame to see this stuff disappearing from the streets.
I was in Lyme Regis today - it's such a pleasure to see the Crane piece virtually untouched, not behind Perspex and weathering nicely as intended. Must have seen the piece on a dozen separate occasions - it's always a pleasure

If you were the artist, wouldn't this put you off doing other street pieces?? I mean, I doubt the money will be going somewhere worthwhile.
Oh, and that's not the original bunting, so that's got to knock at least $1.50 off.

street art is supposed to be on the streets and stay there, ruined by the weather or a 13 year old kid with a spray can doesn't matter, that's just part of the game.
the real shame is when it's stolen/cut out from a wall and sold for a profit.

Banksy Poundland/Jubilee piece painted over!, by Dr Plip on Feb 17, 2013 0:45:37 GMT 1, Just a thought, but perhaps if Banksy didn't tag or post his work on his website, then the value of these street pieces would fall quite dramatically, as they could never be 100% attributed to him. Course, the value of some non-Banksy pieces may rise, as people try to figure out who did what, but it might be fun?
Plus also then, the work would rise or fall on it's own merit, and not just because it's on the Banksy website and some dick in Miami has an auction he'd like to play with.

Banksy Poundland/Jubilee piece painted over!, by Dr Plip on Feb 18, 2013 0:39:52 GMT 1, I like this quote from the Metro article .
"Mr Strickland, cabinet member for economic development at Haringey council, added: โBanksy gave this art for free to our community, so weโre all angry that itโs been removed and put on sale for $500,000 in the US."
Graffiti artists of London, give your art to Haringey. Run! Run free! And the council will love you for it.
As always, the comments at the bottom are worth a read.

Is that the guy trying to sell a piece of artwork for ยฃ250,000+, that was made to highlight the West's demand for cheap goods, and how it can result in poverty and child exploitation.
I'm sure there's a "successful" person out there that, without a hint of irony, would love to have this in their home.

As much as I would love it hanging in my own home, I really disagree with ripping street art off walls to then be sold in auctions. It was done on the street and it should stay on the street. Real shame.

It's funny, I couldn't care less whether it faded away, got tagged, or someone drew a big cock and balls on it, but as soon as people with money start taking things away from others, I get irked.
