New Banksy post Game Changer, by Poster Bob on May 7, 2020 18:46:10 GMT 1, Where's the game?
I don't like this piece in terms of name and composition. The name is off, playing with toys isn't a game. The missing contents of the see-through bucket annoys me more than Stop and Search does. But it is fun and I'm sure it'll raise a lot of money. I think the meaning of the title and artwork are that the “change” is that now kids don’t want to be a super hero but a nurse when they grow up. And that healthcare professionals have gained status in our society.

I suspect that any status gained from this pandemic will be short-lived. It was that long ago that ambulances were having notes left on their windscreens ranting about parking outside houses and junior doctors and nurses were money grabbing for wanting a decent pay increase.

Think of the strain on the post office. Then he would have people moaning about, packaging and the corner is dinged. It was bad enough when he sold the soup cans posters at £5. Just knock up originals and sell to VIPS, much simpler. Well done Banksy. tesco firebomb posters were £5 in store purchase at a book shop for one day only in Bristol? Every town has a charity shop? Could release posters instore through every charity store through out the country raise money for the charity store and nhs at the same time , increase passing trade and charity donations and awareness ,win , win for everyone

I thought best idea wins?😬, I know just an idea sharing on a banksy forum out of boredom
All charity that raises awareness for those in need is good and shows not everyone is selfish
Shame really in a world leading Nation we need charity for our health service that we all depend on 🙈

As a game changer I would consider covid 19 which created a paradigm shift in the way we look at the word. One aspect of this shift is the change of how we see the superheroes of today, who are pretty human and ordinary people nevertheless extraordinary in so many other ways.
I love the image. If I was a millioner I would definitely participate in the auction. I m 1 million short though...

few million more , this will probably set a new record ,
This pandemic is a defining moment in history , unlike the 1918 Spanish flu which has been forgotten from history this is marked and recorded all over social media

The bigger shame is that some people in the NHS that are superheros need to use food banks to eat
Though maybe that's the point?

Original? If you look closely at the detail, is this not a print?

New Banksy post Game Changer, by printminx on May 8, 2020 12:45:54 GMT 1, I find the image sad and it worries me that the toys are not in a toy box but a waste bin, could it be that the nurse is just the flavour of the month and will be consigned to the same end once the pandemic ends. When people are feeling safe again, and we have short memories, will all the workers that are getting us through this pandemic still be appreciated and respected? I do hope so but I dont have much faith in the human race and its greed. I think that is the message this really sends.

A BURGLAR in a hazmat suit tried to steal a £5million Banksy donated to an NHS hospital.
The man sneaked in with a drill during the early hours and was seen in his protective gear repeatedly prowling near the artwork, called Game Changer.
The man was seen in his protective gear prowling near the artwork at Southampton General Hospital
Banksy's piece, donated to the hospital, shows a boy holding up a nurse in Superman pose
Guards clocked him and followed him on CCTV cameras before turfing him out of Southampton General Hospital.
A source told The Sun: “The man just walked in brandishing a cordless drill. Security spotted him and asked a superviser if they should stop him. They were told to watch him and he was seen walking past the picture at least five times, clearly having a good look.
“Security stepped in and he was removed.”
The attempted heist on May 8 came two days after the elusive artist donated his work.
It shows a boy holding up a nurse in Superman pose, his discarded Spider-Man and Batman toys in a nearby bin.
Banksy left it at the hospital with a note: “Thanks for all you’re doing. I hope this brightens the place up a bit, even if it’s only black and white.”
The hospital displayed it and is planning to auction it for NHS funds. A Banksy art sold for £9.9million in December.
A hospital spokesman confirmed the robbery had been foiled. Police were not called.
Two stolen Banksys were recovered in Paris in February.
Ian Syer, the co-founder of the website My Art Broker said it could raise millions.
He said: “Banksy has returned to the forefront of timely controversy with a unique one off canvas for the NHS that if auctioned could fetch well in excess of £5million.”

They should have let him make an attempt to steal it then have him arrested. He would have been public enemy number 1 in the world never mind the U.K.
His face would have been posted everywhere. F****** p**** how could anyone even think of doing this!
