Banksy - "One Nation Under CCTV" London

[Jef Aerosol]

took a bit of time before I realized what "cctv" means ! I noticed all those cameras last time I went to London, but hadn't noticed the term "cctv"... You see, we don't have that here in France though I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that they are now considering installing some surveillance cameras in the streets here too !
Big brother has a French relative, it seems...

now that I understand the meaning of this new Banksy piece, my word is : excellent !

I love how Banksy did it right in front of a real CCTV

i thought france ( might have been Germany ) had banned CCTV as an infringement of privacy

did anyone mention the nod to a EINE influence with the huge letters? I know its common practice for little charvers to get up huge using rollers but EINE has showed the way to make large letters look good.

Seriously mate, nice try and all, but it's like saying there's a William Shakespeare influence, because of his use of the English language.

[goffy]

Or Picasso because he uses paint.

This is so f*ck*n relevant to me.

I live in Yate, allegedly Banksys home town and myself and 2 colleagues are suspended from work and facing a disciplinary meeting on Friday ( 18th April) because of a manager who spied on our T-Breaks using CCTV.

Seriously I'm about to lose my job because of this s**t. we took ;longer than we should have , even though there was a lull in our work schedule and now we're accused of Gross Misconduct.

More like Gross Spying, the B*st*rds.
