I’ve heard through arts contacts on LinkedIn that the Banksy mural was actually a planned piece of PR for the new arts centre (or that’s how it seems).

In that case, it's good to see Team Robbo bring some chaos to the party 😁

A protest against the creation of an art centre is good to see? Strange values.

This piece had the opportunity to become a real beacon for the town much like the man hanging out of the window in Bristol. It’s a shame it’s been ruined IMO

On the radio this morning that Team Robbo has defaced this. Not seen any pics yet.

Three cheers for Team Robbo! 

Team Robbo... lol.

Will be a spotty little skateboarder in his teens, probably doesn't even know who Robbo was.

Reading is a dump, this doesn't surprise me.

For derailing efforts to create an arts centre?

Nice handstyle though... 

But it’s not particularly a great hand style though? The original spat between both Banksy and Robbo was creative. Both using each other pieces to create something with a little bit of flare. This is just dogging.

If they wanted to dog this like Robbo would have, it needed a bit of creativity, maybe a tag with scissors coming off to cut the rope, or a hole or trap where the prisoner would land in for eg, Maybe just something a little bit creative. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I get the whole history but this just seems a bit mindless to me.

It is lazy. They should've defaced the whole thing.

Well somebody certainly woke up on the wrong side of bed today didn't they 😁

I'm assuming you don't actually sleep given the massive volume of rubbish you post on here.

Interesting wording - the Banksy work is a 'mural' that has been vandalised. 

Another interesting part of that article... notice under one of the pictures it says the Banksy mural has renewed interest in turning the prison into an arts venue?

Most likely would of had authorization
Graffiti on a government building in a lockdown?and a former prison ! Pritti Patel would of made an example otherwise, hung, drawn and quartered

[Runit]

I like it. It’s a nice little colab.

I've seen a video on instagram filmed the day before the Banksy piece was "discovered" and there was scaffolding up around the piece.

Better the team Robbo tag than an other removal

It looks like Banksy is now scaling the wall to escape from Team Robbo. Probably has a grappling hook on the other side of the wall dug into the brick and mortar.

I like it 😁

But does the person have a clown deck made from the original acetates?

That is brilliant... Do you know where?

[Sliding on the Walls]

I know after he did 'No future' in Southampton years ago, another one appeared in the city with 'Abandon Hope' on it. It was never confirmed as a Banksy. Perhaps somebody found the stencil?

Moral of the story:

There is no moral to this story, just pathetic cry babies going under the moniker of Team Robbo. Jealousy pure and simple.

I don' t know -  yes I know -  who made it first ...

It's not only about jealousy, or a battle ( mediatic or no, we don't care, about Robbo and Banksy, it's just that graffiti writers or taggers always "hated" - ( all is relative)  street-art - made by rich  ( in their mind ) - and  sophisticated street-artists /stencilists always found that graffiti was crap, and cundescending pose ) ..

Some think to be kings of the street and have been arrested hundred of times, others not ( Tox jailed pers example ) .

Funny but was was the real meaning of this painting by Banksy ( see the pic ) ? Humor with himself , revenge  ( but of who or what?  he even made a wall for Tox )  ?

Anyway, Banksy has always been for peace through paint.

All is about vandals : some are pruchased in the streets, others in the actions houses...  Not sure that the old Robbo team had something real against Banksy, as DJ Choci ( Choci Roc from team Robbo ), saluted and thanked " live " on Kane Fm, Robin " giving him a shout ! " Good guys ! He thanked me too ! ahah but I m nothing.

edit : I have still in memory, this member telling years ago, that he does not like Arzy, because Aryz was so much old school... Why ?
