In normal circumstances, the majority do not acknowledge their presence, see them as a nuisance, at times wish they weren't there.
In other words: ordinarily you would not be aware of them not being there.
Now we are aware of them not being there: because WE WANT something from them.
It points the finger at us, me and you.

And to continue giving a sh*t.
Stay curious. Stay kind.
And also, when you can, vote the Conservatives out.

Now we are aware of them not being there: because WE WANT something from them. It points the finger at us, me and you. I like these quiet moments of forum reflection. And I often wish the homeless weren't there. Nobody will be able to magically fix the problems, all the paths that lead to homelessness or poverty, but it starts with giving a sh*t. And to continue giving a sh*t. Stay curious. Stay kind. And also, when you can, vote the Conservatives out. |

Banksy Show • Cut & Run • Glasgow , by Javier on Aug 21, 2023 9:47:20 GMT 1, The absence of the seller is what most surprises me.
I arrived to Glasgow city center Thursday 2 PM. Been all afternoon walking in circles in the center of the city making tourism until I left to the hotel.
Friday I went to the exhibition at first hour. About midday went to Edinburgh for talking a walk in another place I had never been.
During all that time in Glasgow I THINK I saw no big issue seller either. Obviously I cannot confirm, but it is a magazine that doesn’t exist in this tiny corner of Spain, though I have a Stik Japanese one. So I think that if I had seen them, the name would have catched my attention.
And Saturday from 12:00 to 21:00 with just a small stop to pick a hotel.
So, strangely, it was almost impossible to find them. Very very weird. And I was even searching for people walking with a bag that could take papers and hidden vests
At least I found a magnet I was looking for (and that I thought that didn’t exist)

I’m one of the many following the forum in the past day or so but I wanted to contribute with our news from the weekend (coupled with excitement and disbelief).
We went to the exhibition on Friday also. It was my wife who actually bought the mag by chance, so I hope she shares! But I hate to think how many of these have just been discarded as we probably would have ignored the note if we didn’t know much about the man himself. Great cause too. Jx

Ah good point. Would make for a good video for Banksy to have them there with the slips, oblivious to the passers by what they might be missing out on. |

The fonts and letterspacing are different. Why would they be different if they were genuine?
(Just as an example look where the letter C from the word Contact lines up with the line of text below).

(Just as an example look where the letter C from the word Contact lines up with the line of text below). I love it when the forum CSI start to come into their own during these things. Here was me just checking whether one of the OPs had accidentally revealed part of the unique ID number, while meanwhile some folk are scrutinising letter spacing and whether the font is Times New Roman or Times Old Roman. I love it. |

I mean, why wouldn't you say, "Hey - I'm Banksy, you may have heard of me. I'd like to reward you for buying a copy of the Big Issue."

Taking this a step further, I'd say the top is set in Calibri (the MS Word default), whereas the bottom looks like classic Helvetica (/ Arial or a version thereof)… |

I like the world to still have some surprises and magic in it. But on the other hand, I'm fully aware that there's a couple of Welshmen with a shedload of knock-off Banksy badges that they need to get rid of. |

The lack of a denial, confirmation, admission, or anything, is strange. The missing Big Issue sellers is strange. This whole thing is strange. Hold me.

There is another person who posted another one whose text is different from the ones above, and with a different image (it has a “in” as all the images you can find in the internet). So it seems two good ones and a poor forgery a “funny member” (read “peace of shit”). Seems even the paper is folded instead of cut

Sorta framing it. I like that attention to detail, that effort, and don't think it goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
