Banksy’s GCHQ spy mural to be sold???, by Deleted on Jul 1, 2014 17:11:23 GMT 1, STATEMENT: "Bankrobber can confirm that in spite of the best efforts of the local business community, headed by Angela De Souza of the Women's Business Club, it seems increasingly likely that Cheltenham is set to lose its Banksy. Whilst intervention from Bankrobber's Robin Barton succeeded in stalling the removal process, it appears that with no firm offer or coherent strategy in place to secure the mural that pressure is growing on the owners to accept the initial seven figure offer from an anonymous American collector. Robin Barton says "that whilst the owners are sympathetic to the communities wishes they cannot see a clear compromise that would leave them unimpeded by the presence and responsibility of owning the building and its ? associated mural". Barton says that to the owners "the mural has become something of a poisoned chalice and as such whilst they would rather it remained in situ the temptation to pass the problem on is tempting". (My bold)
Thank you Rob.

It'd better not turn out to be fake, otherwise someone's getting kicked in the crotch.
Edit: It was posted by someone called @booboobadu .
Edit again: I've just Tweeted her and asked her where she found it.

That's the most sensitive thing I've seen in a long time. used to work in the rag trade, a colleague found a pair of jeans that had "I love these jeans more than I love my children" written in pencil in the pocket bag, found it quite moving, as probably only a fan of salvage jeans could |

I'm such a sceptic….
I can't help but think that this was written by a 35yr old man who still lives at home with his Mum.

Feeds two birds with one crust.
Edit: And I'm willing to broker the deal, for just 20%. Don't thank me, I'm just doing what any hero would do.

Has Banksy joined Twitter? Artist posts to defend Cheltenham 'spies' piece
Is this Banksy on Twitter?
The anonymous street artist is thought to have joined the social media site under the handle @cheltersbanksy, to put his point across about 'Spy Booth' in Cheltenham. The Twitter profile does not yet have the 'blue tick' used to verify famous people on the site.
The famous artist, who confirmed the piece was his earlier this month, tweeted: "Won't be here long. Just long enough to put my views over about what people are trying to do with my artwork.
"The point of the piece is #GCHQ and my contempt for their attempts to listen in on all aspects of our daily lives. #CheltenhamBanksy
"As a result, this idea of turning the admittedly run-down house into a museum about spying is totally alien to the piece. #CheltenhamBanksy
"Also want to say if I wish I'd known more about the owner of the house. Might have found another phone box. #CheltenhamBanksy
"I don't mind the right people benefiting from selling my pieces but better it benefits community (as in Bristol). #CheltenhamBanksy
"In an ideal world, it would stay in situ. Understand desire to sell, just wish recipient more community minded. #CheltenhamBanksy
"I may have more to say tomorrow. Meantime, I am seriously pissed off at the Tories trying to use it for electioneering. #CheltenhamBanksy
"I wouldn't want any political group using it for such a purpose but don't try and pretend you're doing it for 'the people'."
