If I started doodling on someone’s wall I’d be straight in the slammer desperately holding on to my soap on a rope because I’m so pretty. How does this bugger get away with it? |  |

Same with that Damian Hurst, if I put formaldehyde in my fish tank the RSPCA would be at the door asking difficult questions. |  |

Because the man and his work are at times sheer genius. He should be regarded as a National treasure.. Maybe you haven't spent enough time studying his work? |  | | |

Doesn’t matter if it’s genius or not. If Shaquille “little ears” Townsend from the Skew Crew drew the exact same thing on the wall of Cresci’s in paint picked up in Jeffries stores I doubt the police would have the same blasé attitude.
He’s the only person in Britain immune to one section of the law. | |

I think you should spend a little time researching comments before you post them on social media. Around the UK there are hundreds of graffiti artists whose works are accepted by their communities - he is a long way from being "the only person in Britain immune to one section of the law."
Just the most creative and relevant. | | | |

So in this hypothetical scenario poor Shaquille “little ears” will be slopping out in wormwood scrubs and avoiding Mr Big in the showers whilst this Banksy fella makes millions for painting exactly the same thing.
No man should be above the law. It’s in the Magna Carta or something. | |

That can be multiplied by 10 minimum. It is quite a big piece. |  |

This is a really nice painting and a lot of thought has gone in to it, the time of year, fire and links to the blast furnace, particles linking to pollution and snow. Great creativity and a bit of a boost for Port Talbot. | | | |

If Shaquille produced something that was original, provocative, thoughtful in an acceptable location, then it is more than likely he would be under no threat from the law. If he was drawing men's genitalia or inciting violence the little git might well finish up eating porridge. | | | |

He isn’t that little. In fact his ears are normal sized but they look little because he’s got a massive head. They also call him snipers dream. | |

If he was arrested and charged, I'd advise to enter a not guilty plea.
In order to be guilty of criminal damage you have to intentionally or recklessly damage property. This chap's property will have increased massively in value, if that's so, how can you be guilty of damaging property, you've increased in value ? |  | | |

If a bomb went off in the centre of Port Talbot it would cause £500,000 worth of improvements. |  |

Genius? Really?
I get that art is subjective, but the hype over Banksy and his output really passes me by. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I'm fairly confident in my understanding of the English language, and my degree seems to back that up.
Genius:
A genius is a person who displays exceptional intellectual ability, creative productivity, universality in genres or originality.
Personally I think that sums up Banksy very nicely. | | | |

I doubt if Mr. Larkin would concur...

He's not immune to the law though. I reckon the law involved here would be criminal damage and if as a result the garage is now worth a lot more, £25,000 then maybe that's not so much damage really. I suppose they could bring out a law for criminal enhancement :-) [Post edited 20 Dec 2018 10:29]
