It certainly engages the brain. There is humour and political message – just what art should be! Thanks Dave!

I’ve always thought that it’s enough for art to be pleasing. It doesn’t have to be provocative but if it is that certainly adds to its impact. And no-one does does provocative in a more pleasing way than Banksy.

I hadn’t heard of Banksy. Too bad more graffiti artists aren’t like him.

Indeed, Dave! Interesting that they don’t seem to deface his work – which incidentally now sells for big money wherever it’s found …
