Is that down to Banksy and good publicity or down to the people who Bought Banksy art and created a bubble?
People are so easily manipulated these days.

His lack of support for them tells us nothing about his views on terrorism, only about his views on the existing anti-terror legislation. All it tells us is that he doesn't think they're good or effective laws; that he doesn't think attacking freedom amd civil liberties is the way to tackle terrorism.
The evidence would suggest he has a point. It hasn't gone away, in spite of all those laws he opposed.

Hi Everyone, I have been lurking on here for quite some time and while this is my first post I have felt the need to express my views on this.
My guess would be that the whole of the above to be the ACTUAL print released maybe via POW sometime soon (Image AND text).
The U.K. General election is actually taking place the day before the date above on the 8th June 2017, therefore the above IMAGE & TEXT is saying goodbye to the U.K. by voting conservative and sort of a VOTE message to the people and especially to his roots in Bristol and to take back hold of the United Kingdom, similar to the Obey Obama posters.
It seems that if I'm correct on the above, then many banksy fans or especially those who have substantial investments in his work and are worried by a mass rollout.... are not very quick to REALISE REAL LIES!!

Sorry. 3- if you trade your vote for a cheap print, you deserve exactly what you're getting, which is my support for point 1.
Back to the shadows.

This isn't "performance art" or "brilliant" or any other romanticized notion of self expression. It is a subversion of democracy and free will and a sleazy reward to conformity. It is the very OPPOSITE of art.

I am shocked to see an artist using his influence to manipulate democrqcy. Banksy is known and famous for his poticial aspiration. I think it's fine to shae his ideas and criticism while not invading other's privacy and decision making. With what he is proposing now, he is voluntary asking people to follow his vote and will pay for it (print, money, it's the same. Let's be honest.). He may have good reason or belief to do it, it's not right morally speaking. So far, he was defending the freedom of speech and power to the people. This is just against it for me.
Banksy, if you want to do politics the way polician do. Reveal your identity and apply to be an official next time.

It's very similar to what's happening in my industry at the moment, the corporations give people a small one off payment to a few workers to sign off on workplace wage and condition agreements that are worse than the current, then we all have to spend the next four to five years waiting for said contract to finish so we can then begin to negotiate better conditions again. If everyone stands strong and doesn't take the Bribe you will have more power and be better off in the long term.

There is always someone who'll work for less and stab others in the back for a short term gain. Only as strong as your weakest link. Nice for Banksy to preach to us on who to vote for while living in the states if rumours are to be believed. Also I wonder how much tax he dodged while selling stuff for cash when him and Laz were on the rise to fame.

Banksy is a law breaker, a renegade, a vandal an enigma call him what you like. He has done some very clever stuff (some not so great), produced some great art (plus some average stuff). Whether these stunts fail or succeed, make money or not they all add to The Banksy story which will surely make him one of the greatest artist`s of our generation if not the greatest - and that`s why the lucky few that own his work love him and the unlucky majority get more and more frustrated by the day that they can never hope of owning anything by him (apart from a fake Petrol bomb or tenner).
If the law catch up with him this time he may well be spending plenty of time looking at wall`s

I don't think Banksy is preaching anything here. He is more buying votes. That's shocking for someone who supposed to value moral and freedom.
