Banksy Street Art • Les Miserables

[11]

Also occurred to me I could have done the same last night - paid someone to keep everyone else away while i got a truck and some cutting gear - has anyone verified that the people gearing up to remove it actually are the legal owners of the property !!

[Coach]

Had not previously spotted the tears running from her eyes from the CS gas.

Such a shame this is now covered up. My eldest son made a trip to see it. All he could see was two pieces of ply. That's not what street art is all about.

[tartarus]

Probably bank robber again no? Deciding he can do as he pleases as ever!

tell a passing copper the "guard" is planning to nick it and see what happens. could be fun.

[avec art]

Looks like those journos are a bit late to the party.

If you want to see it then the latest from the street is that it will be gone tonight - they have boarded it up and have a minder out front telling people they cant see it.

A minder, like Arthur Daley's minder a resting actor from teh job center ?

Sort of defeats the object covering it up. Now the French Embassy can't see it.

Anyway the publicity for Banksy is worth thousands.

Only Thousands Plopp - I thought we had established it was priceless

food for thoughts  Human rights watch, by far the most reliable human rights organization, did a research on the issue a year ago. Things are pretty much the same but based on a serious investigation.

www.hrw.org/news/2015/01/20/france-migrants-asylum-seekers-abused-and-destitute

In my view, these issues are a bit too complex to summarize in a single stencil, even if the author is the most talented one...

Lol the article is very biased indeed and shallow.

First off the migrants they interviewed, how do they know tehse migrants are actually telling the truth.

Second, this shows the bias.

"The abuses described to Human Rights Watch include beatings and attacks with pepper spray as the migrants and asylum seekers walked in the street or hid in trucks in the hope of traveling to the United Kingdom." www.hrw.org/news/2015/01/20/france-migrants-asylum-seekers-abused-and-destitute

Hid in trucks indeed.

They broke into trucks, hijacked trucks damages trucks and stole goods from trucks en mass.

What gives the the right to do this and get awy with it.?

Not sure if photo taken by a dwarf or if security guard is short.

Who did the triangular shape street art on the left of the ginger bloke?

Is it two snakes? Snake, the next Stik?

He's got the look of a man guarding a piece of valuable plywood.

[Baby Dave]

I'm gutted it's already covered up and most likely will be gone by the morning. I work just around the corner too! Dammit!!

[Deleted]

Plywood guard like in B & Q. The ones who ask to look in your van that work there to make sure you havent stolen a tin of paint or bag of cement etc.

Does the guard work for the building owner and plywood owner, or doe sthe guard work for someone else?

Why tey covered up the art is beyond me unles sit's just untill they get a nice big piece of perspex delivered or untill they get the chance to unscrew the pkywood with the art at 4am cover up the hole and pretend the art is still there?

The guard could be there for humanitarian resons or for dark forces reasons.

Les Miserables about the plight of the poor and the stencil about the plight of the very rich.

This is Les Miserables brought to life.

And you can prove the migrants are heading for UK and Germany and Sweden because they don't want free housing and money.

There is plenty of proof of migrants intetions and whats your opinion on the attacks and rapes on women in Cologne Germany and Sweden and Norway by migrants?

Are the victims racists too?

The facts speak for themselves despite your insults

Your comment about people moaning about the colour of their doors was offensive ploppi. People housed by that company all having red doors was causing them to be easy targets for unpleasant people abusing them and threatening them. People were in genuine fear. Even the Tories said it was wrong. Are you just trying to incite arguments on here?

The color of the front doors is a non story. The company probably bought the red paint in bulk hence the doors all painted red and don't tell me that other doors in the street or town are not painted red too by people who are not migrants.

The story was whipped up by lefties and Camoron and the Tories jumped on the bandwagon purely for propaganda purposes.

The people in the street know who the migrants are regardless of the door color.

How do you know they aren't just using another exuse to complain and why don't they just buy a tin of paint and paint the door themselves instead of expecting someone else to do it for them.

No I'm not trying to incite arguments i'm pointing out that these migrants should stop playing the victim in UK and accusing the Brits of being racists when the Brits have bent over backwards to help them.

Of course there are people who are morons and abuse and insult people in the street of all races and colors too.

By all means Coach by a tin of paint and go and paint some doors. It won't make any difference.

I think that the perpetrators should, in so far as is possible, be tracked down, and brought to justice.
But I won't judge one man according to the crimes of another.
I don't know anything about political cover ups. Perhaps because they have been covered up. Or they are not true.

Again you are talking from a position of ignorance.
They didn't just buy in bulk. Anyway, that doesn't matter. What matters is that you belittled the real fear that people had of being intimidated or abused as moaning. That was offensive to me.

An offensive and sweeping generalisation that certainly at best has racist undertones.

So you obviously are also referring to all migrants including the British citizens who have migrated to other countries to find work and/or better living conditions.  They also in your eyes are just looking for a free house and are also moaning about the colour of their doors.

As clearly this is not the implied meaning to you post then I am afraid this is indeed a racist comment.

I will discuss this with the powers at be as to their thoughts and how this should be handled.  I would also like to remind all forum members that racist comments will not be tolerated.

Xenophobia's not on either.

No cover up mate, just media and politicians being non-speculative and responsible as not to spur on persons who cannot process the information in a mature manner.

Agreed.  Neither xenophobia and/or racism which the original comment might represent on both counts.

Twist my post round how you want.

I don't know any British citizens who have migrated to other countries and demanded free house and money from the country they migrated too.

If you are talking about economic migrants my point is that they should be treated by the country that they go to the same way the country treats it's own citizens.

They should not be given privelidged status or jump the queu.

I know people who moved to the UK from EU countries and struggled including being homeless in the UK for a long time before they got any assitsance from the state or accomodation.

None of my posts are racist despite what you want others to think.

What is racist is when people say that migrants who arrive in European countries have more rights than the citizens of those countries.

So answer this question.

Seing as you know so much about migrants today.

Why are they heading for Germany, the UK and Sweden?

Whats wrong with France and other european countries?

As for the migrants complaining about the color of their front doors, did not they get a free house, isn't that what they are living in.


Now to the part about genuine refugees.

I have always stated that refugees who are genuine and processed should be helped and given housing and safe accomodation in all european countries.

Now to the aprt about migrants who are not refugees.

How about you tell me how many of thes emigrants who are the majority young men from a lot of countries that have arrived in Europe and head for Germany Sweden Uk are actually genuine and should be helped.

Maybe you can answer some points before accusing me of racism.

Nice try but plain talk and raising some points and facts is not racism.


So tell me how many of these male migrants arriving in Europe heading for UK would you give free housing too?

Personally they are more than welcome as I have nothing against migrants who contribute to society.

They are more than welcome to come to Europe find a job support themselves and pay rent like everybody else does in Europe.

Whats so special about these guys? maybe you can answer that too.

People migrate all the time for a better life.

I know people who moved abroad, worked hard struggled did not get a penny from the state or free housing and made a new life abroad.

I have done it too, moved to France, have not asked for a penny from teh state or free housing, work using my skills to support myself pay rent and demand no special treatment.

Regarding outsiders I have had my car vandalised in France because it had British number plates.

There are idots everywhere who don't like outsiders.

I like variety diversity and have no problem at all with migrants.

I also hope that with all the migrants coming to europe that they will integrate and adopt western european values of democracy equality for all and equality and respect of women.

Now heres a final question for you with connections to the powers that B.

is that a B for Banksy propaganda?

Should migrants integrate and adopt the cultural values of the country they migrate to?

or should we adapt to the migrants cultural values?

Lets see your answers before calling me a racist.

They are in the UK and the locals should welcome them and also make friends with them, is what I would prefer. The best way is to create a culture of integration not a state within a state.

The fact is in some communities there are people with a mentality where they think they own the estate or the street.

It's a bit of a problem in all countries.

German women are now in fear of being abused and intimidated when they go outside and at night.

So whats the solution Coach?

[Lroy]

I have not read read all your comments ( too much complicated for me, some who has met me will understand ).
Anyway, it is the strangest, even weirdest thread that I have ever read here !
We find all in it : migrants crisis ( yes it is, and the worst will come soon in France or everywhere - who have been to the Romania, Greek, German, Italian borders here, to denounce or investigate ? - , because youths are fed up and wanted to pass absolutely in UK more than never , with all their volunteeas, because it's time, because of winter, nerves, precarity, etc ... ) , we have Hugo ( sorry but this pic of Cosette for a French is a bit " used " , we saw it hundreds of times and learned it since the primary school, and the flag behind could make us remember Gavroche on the 100 Fr notes, from the ultra classic canvas of Delacroix : The Liberty guiding the people ) , we have Perspex or not Perspex, racism, xenophobia, Banksy, wood panels, security guard, Jo Brooks tweeting , etc ..

Well, I have not the right ( I am exaggerating a bit ) to talk about politic because it is a forum of art, but the artwork is politic and anyway everybody talks here about Politics ! Lol
Maybe Banksy was in nerves after seeing the police making an attack of the Jungle : I don't care about police - and politics - they are police and politics ( sic ) , but I think that they have done this attack because there is a new and better camp ( with caravans ) and they don't want anymore this "'jungle " - how can we accept this term ?! Terrifying ! We speak about humans !
Anyway, I think that this artwork have been made a bit quickly, I appreciate anyway the barcode flashing on the video, but, I repeat, I don't understand why ?! As I said, unfortunately, the worse will come.
And to finish, as for Steve Jobs, it is not the Banksy that we are expecting ( the boat and some others as the one about UKIP were fabulous ) , artistically speaking .

Just thoughts of an unusual suspect.

Edit : I forgot the part about stole photos or avatars, well social media " things " happening on Facebook , Instagram etc..
