Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by FЯ on Aug 28, 2020 15:44:21 GMT 1, probably not the majority. the interesting question would be if banksy collectors give it their full backing. Probably the same outcome. Makes you think dunnit. How about; would Banksy give his full support to an initiative in the Channel? I think that would put too many noses out of joint back home but you never know with Mr B. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
how do you mean?
he does if he buys them a boat and puts art on it

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by qwerty on Aug 28, 2020 17:05:11 GMT 1, The boat has collected unknown people, from unknown origin. No government is going to pre approve any arrival in that manner. Governments are actively stopping these boats quite aggressively. All you can do is see if they will refuse you when people are on your boat. It’s a big risk but hugely honourable, especially when the alternative is to leave the boat at dock or just do nothing. Best of luck to all involved and fair play to Banksy and co for bringing the specifics of this issue to the forefront. It’s quite a bold move but it has my full backing. It would be quite interesting to see how many people in the UK would give their “full backing” to Banksy sponsoring a boat to rescue migrants from the Channel and bring them into UK waters seeking permission to dock. Anonymous poll anyone...?
full backing or not it should be done, bring them here to the uk,this country can well afford to take more people and help them out, shake the magic money tree and set up decent schemes not corrupt and fear-run 'immigration detention centres'

Probably not and that’s understandable to me, even if hypocritical. To not want migrants to come to your country doesn’t mean you want harm to come to those migrants on their route. Banksy putting migrants on the boat without knowing what he can do next is a bold move to shed light on the situation, easily pigeonholed but better than doing nothing.

The rescue initiative in the Med has been going on for some time now. So that aspect, and the legal complexities, remain unchanged.
The only new thing is that they were given a better boat and renewed publicity. Full credit to Banksy for lending his support in this way to an ongoing effort to save migrant lives in the Med.

I wonder what legal trouble this opens up the Bank boy to? Those migrants on board might have just hit the lottery if they can find a way to sue.

I don't know what the Daily Hail is saying since, like Wikipedia, I don't recognise them as a serious source of information.

Almost metaphorical. Great performance art.

Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Terry Fuckwitt on Aug 29, 2020 15:24:04 GMT 1, Amazing what Banksy has done taking this massive task on. Unfortunately it's looking like it is going to need more than just this boat though.
All the media coverage this is getting, will hopefully bring even more awareness to the situation and more help.
Only downside I can see though, is the possibility of many more now making the dangerous crossings, thinking they will get picked up.
A horrible situation and decision for anybody to have to make.
