BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Oct 16, 2015 21:23:38 GMT 1, Anyway, I don't think it matters where you or I think is best for migrants or refugees. Wherever they choose to go to, they're doing so because they're making the best decision that they can with the information that they have. Most people will always try to give themselves the absolute best chance at life. And anyone want to swap places with those in the Calais camp? If they have it so good because they have an iPhone, then why not see if one of them will swap lifestyles for a week? Apparently they have iphones and paid trafficking crims thousands to get them into the UK.
ย I agree it doesn't matter where people choose to go.
I do disagree though with the authorities and politicians double standards. If I decided to break into trucks in Calais i'm sure les French flics wouldn't hesitate in hauling my arse off to the cells and me ending up with a big fine or jail if I tried to do it again.
ย These migrants however get a free pass. ย I also disgree with the double standards that once in the UK, these migrants will get a free accomadation and food.
ย Whereas people in the UK who get made homeless etc get nothing.
ย ย Also if these people are skilled people as they tell us in news reports, doctors and teachers etc ec. Why are not the building their own shelters as the report says Banksy sent a team of builders to build the shelters.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Why should these migrants get free housing in the UK, just by getting to the UK.
What makes them so special when UK families are homeless. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย If people can support themselves I don't care where they come from and they respect the culture and democracy of the country they enter.
ย ย ย ย ย ย I don't see Monaco taking in hundreds of thousands of migrants or other countries.
ย I doubt that the Dismaland huts constructed by Banksy's team with the sign are anything more than a publicity stunt.
Plus if the migrants are not happy living in squalid conditions in a rich democartic european country called France.
They know the answer.

They could have settled elsewhere by now very easily, but choose to sit there and wait to jump on a lorry to the UK. Not suffering in any way? Really? Because it looks s**t on the telly. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย I am all for unbiased reporting on the telly.
The pros and cons should have equal coverage.
No reporting of police in Germany telling women to dress down so they dont get attacked or raped, plus biased reports from Sweden too.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Oct 16, 2015 21:49:50 GMT 1, ย I agree Nordicstar
Hungry people do not throw food and water away as they did in Hungary, onto the railway tracks.
ย Or as they did in the camp in Calais.
You can see the vids on youtube of them doing just that. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Charity is wonderful and people are generous but some people abuse charity and take advantage of generosity.
ย ย Money and resources are used up that could be better use don helping genuine refugees. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Europe has a huge problem with poverty and homless peopleย too.[/p]
ย ย ย ย ย ย The rich and the politicians are not affected by any of this and all the politicians with second and third homes do not share with anyone. Yet they are the ones being paid financially and in other ways to promote mass immigration and the globalist agenda. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Angela Merkel says we should all visit the churches and look at paintings when addressing the migrant issue.
ย Either she is a deluded fool or she thinks we are. ย The media never shows the real truth as the media is in bed with the politics.
The rich profit and the media makes us feel guilty. ย The poor get evicted and migrants get free homes.

""Shown is an elderly woman, which collects bottles to gain some money. Collecting bottles and exchanging them for a standard pawn of 0.15 Cent - 0.25 Cent, for a continuously increasing number of pensioners is the only way to add some little money to their pensions in order to survive.
By not attending food charities, they prevent being beaten up by aggressive asylum seekers or immigrants at food charity organizations."" ย ย ""Christine Larch, member of a charity organization which distributes food for the poor, knows that many locals, especially the elderly ones, do not dare to get proper help by charity organizations. Out of fear for social stigmatization.
She adds:
"There is a steadily increasing number of old people with too little money, especially women."
But, besides social stigmatization, which prevents hungry pensioners from seeking help from charity organizations, there are further reasons to prefer theft. Charity organizations suffer from aggressive Asylum demanders

"Since half a year ago, the situation changed dramatically. Our staff are heavily insulted. It is jostled, the elderly and children are cut away. There is an aggression and a sense of entitlement, that brings me to incandescence"
One volunteer described such a violent situation:
"When I told him [the help seeker] that other people as well want to have some apples, he brutally hit me in the face."
The behaviour of these so called 'refugees' made headlines for the first time in 2015. There it became public, that since mid of 2014 more than 300 of volunteers who worked for 'Die Tafel', quit their job due to permanent insults.""

Can we start a new thread about Calais and migrants, and keep trying to remember Dismaland for what it was? Well, banksy started it.
just read the police conviscated it all and its now with a homeless charity in calais.
these people are already being given food and water by france, dont make out they are malnourished or in need. Compared to some parts of africa these people are rich. Anyway, this is an argument that no one is going to win as some are blind to the reality.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Deleted on Oct 16, 2015 21:58:45 GMT 1, Well, they are the ones that paid people smugglers to get them there. Costs thousands. Maybe they should go to the proper recognised camps near to their countries and come over here in the correct fashion. Lets visit this post again if and when a radical group smuggles in some crazy to do something horrific here. Then lets see who supports the un authorised camps.
I'm amazed that so many people do not dare to admit there is a difference between a genuine refugee and an opportunist.
As for doing something horrible here, in a european country. Its allready happened many times. Recently in Ikea in Sweden.
The media cover up keeps a lot of incidents out of the mainstream.
Makes people feel guilty for being born european too.
Meanwhile the politicians like the EU, Juncker, Merkel etc etc give themselves more power. Billions of euros have been lost and stolen by the EU due to fraud and they tell us it's all our fault.
Lefties and marxists don't mind though. They get funding by the EU (including the BBC) to promote this marxist globalist bullshit agenda.

Not surprised the French police confiscated it.
The huts and the big sign and in the "camp" looked deliberately a parody of a camp in eastern europe a few decades ago.
In things like this the French authorities have no sense of humour.

It saddens me that you can so flippant about so much suffering FR. Totally agree with Coach on this one. Comments made me so annoyed last night by FR that I have decided to turn that round as majority are good people. I will dig around at the weekend and Im sure I have a signed stik book and cannes festival programme and other goodies to not sell but give away to members who donate to Calais Action. Calais action is a grassroots giving movement supporting refugees in Calais that Banksy also used to donate all the unused clothing to and wood. As long as this idea is ok with the mods (apart from FR)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Hairbland on Oct 17, 2015 14:34:25 GMT 1, anyways getting back to Dismaland. Whats Banksy's obsession with Disney? Bit easy to answer this question with about 3 minutes of internet work.
To quote from dazed digital.com, "Banksy's message isn't all that subtle - it's not hard to place Disney and McDonalds as beacons of Western consumerism and - if you're an artist who consistently drives home an on-the-nose anti-capitalist message - places where we forget about the rest of the world and its problems to enjoy theme park rides, cartoons and cheap hamburgers. Disney is sedate, saccharine and safe, and for some that makes it the perfect enemy. No wonder then that its films and characters are the subject of conspiracy theories and criticism. For some artists, the allure of playing with Disney is to subvert its wholesome image and 'show it for what it really is' - a multi-billion pound corporation with sinister secrets tucked away in its locker, a symbol of Western comfort and the 'dumbing down' of its people."
Keith Haring once said "Mickey Mouse is ultimately a symbol of America more than anything else." Haring did a series of paintings of Warhol as Mickey Mouse, titled Andy Mouse.
Warhol created a 1981 portfolio entitled Myths, featuring amongst others Mickey Mouse, Santa Claus, Superman and Greta Garbo.
Cheers!

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Oct 18, 2015 9:25:59 GMT 1, Funny and not that they call it " Dismal Aid " , it could make confusion : First, when I saw the pic, I read DIsmalaid : laid means ugly in France. So I thought that these camps of refugee where dismal and ugly ( that is true on anotherpoint of viexw - sic - but it is not their faults anyway ) . So Dismal-Aid should be better I guess... But anyway, just a thought... I read again that the French don't want it ?

They accept migrants because UK does not want them ( migrants don't want to work nor live in France, but UK or Germany ) and because France has an historic past of human rights ( ermine ) .. And I read that today on a Facebook link : www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-34542782

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Oct 21, 2015 17:57:10 GMT 1, Hello,
I made yesterday, in one shot and with one finger on my phone ( had to choose amongst my hundred of pics and videos ) , as I made by the past my music and drawings, this video with the music that I could ( my phone is broke, and Ii could not charge any of my music ) ... Well I will post this 3 times, in Royston vidoe and , of course in the Thread that Agent Provocateur made for me, to help me to go to Dismaland. It was one of the best souvenir I had of all times ! Not so easy at my age, but as you see I am still here. I know that here, I am not too much alright, or I does not happen as i expect, so I apologize. I am not here, anyway often now anyway.. Now, For You, Yes I made it for you, for People who helped me, I leave you to listen to this ( I had a version not in HD - I have an old computer too, so on youtube, I put 4 versions of this, some are lights, some are saturated lol ) . This one seems to be the best... Hope you will enjoy ! What refuge ? In the art.
