New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by Daniel Silk on Jun 8, 2017 9:02:08 GMT 1, I guess it comes down to choosing to vote for a party who routinely use fear and appeal to our basest instincts or choosing to vote for one who at least attempts to engage with you in a logical fashion. Anyhoo good luck everyone

Might just be. Could be about people going against the establishment regardless. If there was a reward from Banksy it wouldn't be that print, that would just confirm his offer which of course would incriminate him, which he's already been warned about. That's not to say that further down the line you may be rewarded i.e with a different edition, who knows. I think It's all about people being told that they shouldn't do it which he already knew and is waiting to see who goes with fuckem any way. Of course this is probably me talking bollocks but I'm pretty sure people will still be taking photos just in case.

People go apeshit when a guerrilla artist makes a borderline political statement, but an actual newspaper - that who knows how many fuckwits in this country rely on for news - is allowed to publish this...
Freedom of the press does not cover slander and calumny which is exactly how this chap is being treated.
Much bigger threat to democracy here than a stupid print stunt by Banksy

I once went into a newsagent to buy a Daily Mail. I was so embarrassed I had to buy a Porn mag to hide it in.

Oh yes before I forget, Diane Abbott got a majority of something like 35.000!

Totally agree with you...sorry about the whole DUP thing from over here but if the cons go into coalition with the DUP it will blow up in their faces. The DUP are super religious right wing super tories. And that is a kind summary of them. Oh yes before I forget, Diane Abbott got a majority of something like 35.000! |

New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by silvermyn on Jun 9, 2017 9:52:47 GMT 1, www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-40167008Banksy election print-for-vote offer investigated by police An offer of a free Banksy print to people who vote against the Conservatives is being investigated by police. Avon and Somerset Police has received a number of complaints over the secretive street artist's offer. Applicants from six Bristol constituencies have to send him a ballot paper photo showing a vote against the Tories to get the print. Police said anyone taking part in the offer could also be prosecuted. A police spokesman said: "We've received a number of complaints about an offer of a free Banksy print to people living in six Bristol constituencies in exchange for them voting in a certain way in the forthcoming election and we can confirm we're investigating the offer. "It is a criminal offence under the Representation of the People Act 1983 for any voter to accept or agree to accept a gift or similar in return for voting or refraining from voting. "Any person participating in an offer to receive a gift is at risk of being prosecuted." 'Souvenir piece' The offer has been made to voters in the Bristol North West, Bristol West, North Somerset, Thornbury, Kingswood and Filton constituencies in and around Banksy's home city. The artist wrote on his website: "Simply send in a photo of your ballot paper from polling day showing you voted against the Conservative candidate and this complimentary gift will be mailed to you." The artwork, which he has also put on his Instagram page, reprises his well-known "girl with a balloon" motif, but with a Union Jack in the balloon. It will be released on 9 June, Banksy said on his website. A disclaimer states the print was "a souvenir piece" which was not in any way intended to influence voters but was for "amusement purposes only". The publicity around this offer doesn't appear to have had much of an impact on the results but the concern over the potential impact was quite interesting to see.
In view of the results hopefully any police investigation into this matter will be relatively "light touch".
With the reductions in police numbers over the term of the Conservative government, I'm sure they have better things to be doing right now.
