Looks kinda faded to me.... Still very much Mr B's style. Very cool spot. When is he coming back to London?

It's an awesome piece and does have the signature Banksy style. Looks like he may well be back on the streets - let's hope so!
Either way, what do people think the message of this piece is?

IMO it must be a comment on the Old Bill wasting their time and energy on cases which are ridiculous and pointless, while the real criminals remain untouched  |

Interesting - I'm going to ponder on this a bit.

This is great. I wasn't too impressed with the gorilla in Bristol, but this is Banksy true to form. Welcome back, we've missed you.

The gorilla wasn't tagged BANKSY and it looks like this one isn't either... maybe he wont tag them anymore as people are knowing "its a Banksy" without it saying so. Great to see fresh work though! ;D

Great to see fresh work though! ;D I don't think the lack of a tag is anything new - a lot of his older images aren't actually tagged either. You're never 100% sure a street piece is really a Banksy until it turns up on his website or in one of his books. It's been said before, but there are very good legal reasons why a writer may not wish to leave a tag. Signing your name at the scene of a crime isn't the cleverest thing to do; particularly, if your painting a lot. But then sticking the images on a website isn't all too clever either in that respect. That said, perhaps with Banksy different rules apply anyway. I've always thought that if the police actually wanted to catch him, it would be pretty easy for them to do so. |

I really think the police have better things to do! To be fair he IS KNOWN to the police ( I think they could'nt care less). He has been arrested a good few times here and in Germany. Many many people know who he is! What are they going to do? Fine him! I think to be fair the main and his many many friends in his empire will bail him out! I am so happy that he is working the streets again. A great, great image! Thank f**k! I thought he had gone forever in a sea of queens heads from auction sales. Bless him. Banksy is back and whoever owns that outhouse should sell it! Oi Oi! Anyone want to sell me a IFTL!

Absolutely the police have better things to do. And, I'm glad that's the case. That's very much my point.

No question that its Banksy the style for one gives it away and for another the boys at the Workshop wouldnt say it was him if the dint know for sure, there no mugs.
Its nice to see banksy back on the streets its been too long. ;D

This really is great to see, this is what it's really all about, stuff sprayed on walls, not prints on POW.

Same here, these kind of photo's on the web was all I saw of Banksy for years, then 1 year ago realised POW and prints existed. |

That looks as if it's in the field which we normally pitch in! Wooohoo! Can you confirm where abouts on the site that is rogue? |
