Don't start a conversation like this, i just said it would help him.
Banksy 100% would have sorted him out - thats a composed photo, even down to the bags positioned at the back and the way he is laying

I would like to think so too but the cynic in me says how's he going to keep it safe meanwhile, who is going to protect him so that he's not ripped off and gets enough to make a real difference to his life and the cynic in me says.... there's to many people who basically don't give a shit and after Thursday if Boris gets in then God help us all!! 

[John The Badgers]

Would anybody have the location? (I'm not on Instagram)

I didn't mean to start any conversation, just my thought that many homeless doesn't want to be helped.
just wanted to share my experience as I have a friend living as an homeless.

I think the video is real, 

[GMA]

Nicely done.

[RoboJ]

Cue the Instagram selfie-type people posing for snaps on the bench where the homeless man once sat.


And if that's not a metaphor for something, then I don't understand metaphors.

What a cleverly thought-out image. I hope it raises awareness and support for rough sleepers and the homeless, as well as highlighting the very real pain and hardship caused or exacerbated by austerity and Tory cuts to social care/support.

[duggyfresh]

Top placement and a worthy message as per usual from Banksy, awesome!

[inefficiency of]

Being a Paramedic in Birmingham city centre treating, helping and genuinely trying to look after people in similar situations to ‘Ryan’, I really like this image.

[kfroms]

Great image, important message.
That's why i like Banksy so much!

[nobokov]

It always baffled me how Santa paid the bills, giving away all those toys every year. Now it makes sense.

[Kevin Anderson]

Santa can’t live at the North Pole anymore, the ice sheet is melting.

That's some serious professional photography.
Looks at the lighting. That's no single flash. Very well done.

Lovely image.

They might not have needed a flash if they used long exposure.

It's a video, this is just a still from the video.

Wonder if he visited Lucy McLauchlans print show on Sunday (potentially the night this was painted). She used to be on the POW roster. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[mojo]

Thats incredible but has just made me cry. It's way too cold outside to be sleeping on a bench.

Video up on the Banksy page

I also wonder if he is aware that 300yards away a Turf Wars hangs in a pub window. 🧐
