Is it or Isn't It !!! , by commissioner on Oct 10, 2014 16:25:19 GMT 1, This has appeared in Northcote Road South London....
Opinions plse.....
Confirmed fake...
Edit:
A version of the infamous street artistโs balloon girl mural appeared on the side of Fara in Northcote Road, but it appears the painting was the handiwork of someone from the Battersea charity shop.
People had been posting pictures of the artwork all week, even the local police, speculating whether Banksyโs spray cans had been gracing the walls of the shop, which is on the junction with Chatham Road.
The painting had the classic Banksy stencil of a young girl sat on the ground holding a balloon, but whereas in the original (and genuine) which appeared in Southampton, the balloon formed the โOโ in the words โNo Futureโ.
The Battersea โBanksyโ had the word โHopeโ instead, and charity shop Fara tweeted a picture of the mural under their own sign โ which kind of gave the game away.
And today reporter James Banks tweeted to confirm the picture was a fake, and just a publicity stunt by the shop.
Oh well..

I recall all the naysayers about the dog last year posted the day before it was dropped.

Where's the witty addition (like the balloon visibly leaking for instance?) LOL, I do have to agree about the fact it seemed just a bit too optimistic. A bit of sarcasm/wit is definitely missing.

Is it or Isn't It !!! , by bullysonzx10r on Oct 10, 2014 23:36:29 GMT 1, Doesn't she look as if she's aged from the first image? I'd say it could be him. The first image was 4 years ago, she looks older and larger, she's holding a HOPE balloon with a disappointed look on her face. I don't know all of the UKIP drama in England, but the word on this forum seems to be that they're not thought of too fondly by progressives? So maybe the disappointed look represents the realization that hope is lost?
Or it could just be someone else who is aiming for the same look and a little bit of a stir to get their name out?
Either way, It's a good image.
