Banksy's p***s Half Removed
Hackney Council are at it again. Taking half arsed decisions on Banksys.
Last time they completely removed a stencil of a girl in a frilly dress and gas mask from Gillett Square. This time they've tried to wipe out the crude phallus being painted by the old fashioned, beard and hat sporting artist on the side of the Vietnamese restaurant in Victoria Park Road.
What are they like? A council spokesperson said: "Most people would rather not have pictures of penises daubed on walls in their area" which is fair enough. But the Banksy isn't just a picture of a p***s. It's an amusing piece of street art commenting on art and artists. And now it's half cocked.
We have to ask the question: Are Hackney Council really that silly or is it just an underhand ruse to provoke Banksy to emerge from the shadows, unmask himself once more and fix it?
Tragedy

Does anyone have a photo of what the Hackney one looks like now?

I think the knob is, sorry was, an intrinsic part of the piece. My theory is that the piece was Banksy responding to the councils who are preserving his stuff whilst buffing everything else as well as connecting what he does with all graffiti good, bad or indifferent. I think the knob was a kind of challenge to the buffers.

Banksy's p***s Half Removed by Hackney Council, by Avian Security on Dec 1, 2007 13:31:41 GMT 1, “Hackney Council has a clear obligation to keep its streets clean and to remove racist or offensive graffiti. Most people would rather not have pictures of p***ses daubed on walls in their area. If whoever painted it would like to come along to discuss our policy, I’m sure the Council enforcement team or police will be keen to talk to them.”
Ooh! I bet Banksy's quaking in his trainers.
I suspect the whole point of this piece was to get the council to censor it, thus adding a new dimension to the absurdity of cleaning up some graffiti, but leaving other pieces due to their notional value.
