Brandler semes to me the same everyone on this forum... only difference he shows his face and identity, and rises above the endless shit chat 🤷

Denying the public something that was theirs. That's the saddest and lamest thing I've ever seen.

unfortunately, if you are the owner of the wall, in this case of the building, you can do whatever you want with it.

How depressing.  I've often wondered what Banksy thinks of this racket to 'save' his public artworks and take them completely out of context and away from the community they were intended for to be squirrelled away by a rich person that perhaps may exhibit at a later date in their leafy moneyed environment.  I completely understand the wall owners wanting to profit, why wouldn't they when Flash Harry turns up waving his wads around.  It just seems so crass. Why not buy the official works at auction and keep the public work for the community?  Perhaps its time for a protection order on all Street Banksy's?  Alternatively Banksy could blitz some 'Dirty Cash Rats' on to kids homes, homeless shelters, youth centres, food banks et al...and set the price, they cost a million each plus expenses and all the money goes to the people behind the walls that need it.  If he's gonna do it anyway?

I see Brandler has had hate mail on the back of this - says he's 'surprised' and can't understand the level of reaction. Really? If I lived in Nottingham I'd be pretty pissed too - deserves all he gets IMO; he knew what he was doing and has previous form. All the rubbish about moisture getting into the art due to the Perspex screen, and in reality he's done everyone a favour by 'saving' it - he obviously has no clue about location and context; that's always been one of Banksys strong points - cutting this out and sticking it in a gallery or on some collectors private wall loses so much of the original message and who it was aimed at.....

I bought from Brandler twice when starting out. I found him unpleasantly pleasant (very forced) and have never since....
However, I think it is part of life, and I am sure Banksy knows. For every Brandler that doesn’t remove the art work because they have realised it needs to stay there, there will be another one queuing behind him to remove it. It’s a case of “you can’t win”.

I bought a damien hirst poster off him about 15 years ago - It had so much Brandler branded tape around the tube it probably cost him twice as much to send and I couldn't open it. Ahh, great days.
