Banksy

[norseman]

What's the matter with the newscasters?

The three 'planes' depicted on today's stolen road sign are not 'planes at all, but drones .. so the sign is saying stop the attacks?

 

[Brigadier]

On the subject of drones, a fruitcake has been jailed for life for making one for some more fruitcakes.

To be fair though, "life" in chokey is probably preferable than having to spend it in Coventry

The STOP sign is ( was ) there to instruct drivers to stop at the junction, removing it is a criminal offence and could result if a traffic accident, Local council need to replace it.

I'm sure it will all just get swept under the carpet.

Not sure we are singing from the same hymn sheet here. My point was that the newscast on National TV (by failing to recognise the difference between silhouettes of an aircraft & a drone) completely missed the the message that the artist was trying to convey, or maybe that was deliberate.

I wasn't condoning the theft itself.

By accident or on purpose or because we are a society of brain dead imbeciles?

I pick the later

It seems obvious that it was stolen for it's now much higher value.

Especially to those who understand it's meaning.

Mind you, there's also ample media evidence that it's stolen property.

And good photographic evidence of the stealers.
