Banksy • Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Football Club, by Deleted on Sept 19, 2012 19:35:29 GMT 1, It's a pic taken from the new book about the Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls. Another quality piece of investigative journalism by The Daily Mail.

Banksy • Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Football Club, by Deleted on Sept 21, 2012 13:43:25 GMT 1, Of course it's him. Why so grudging about the Daily Mail? They are quite open about the Easton Cowboys book that the photos are taken from, and have included a photo of the book cover. It may not be 'investigative journalism' but at least the Mail can claim credit for the only pieces of investigative journalism that have shed light on the identity of Banksy. I notice that the comments beneath the Mail article are pointing to a website called talentscout that has published some new pics, which are claimed to be of Banksy. There is also someone on Twitter called banksyhunter, who is tweeting his steps in trying to track the great man down.
'Why so grudging about the Daily Mail?' F*** me! Where do you want me to start?

Banksy • Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Football Club, by bigtlt on Sept 21, 2012 23:03:13 GMT 1, Where do I want you to start? At the beginning. Spell it out. Many have tried and failed to find out more about Banksy, but the Daily Mail have come up with the only credible investigation. Why not give credit where it's due?
Daily Star ran the same story - www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/272695/First-picture-of-Banksy-released/

They deserve credit for achieving what the other media could not, don't they?
No

I checked out that Banksyhunter thing, and I've gotta tell you: I am well and truly creeped out that this guy is tracking down and photographing Banksy's relatives and where they live. I truly hope someone's watching this guy, because, are you kidding me? These people have done NOTHING to deserve this. If this guy admires Banksy, as he claims, that can best be expressed by leaving him alone to play in his anonymity. 'Nuff said.

Banksy • Easton Cowboys and Cowgirls Football Club, by jonti on Sept 23, 2012 9:23:09 GMT 1, You say 'these people have done NOTHING to deserve this', and if they have no connection with Banksy then this is true. However if the older couple are connected with him then they have LIED, as they denied the association when asked by journalists. Similarly the 'sister' (if that is what she is) seems to have changed her identity to hide the association, and is taking part in the same subterfuge. Banksy is an intensely political figure and people are entitled to be able to engage with those who are outspoken, and to be able to challenge their viewpoint. They can't do this while he is anonymous and others are helping him to remain so. Journalism is about bringing out the truth, and thwarting those who seek to hide the truth.
The irony here is that Banksy does not seek to hide the truth, he has been spraying it on wall and canvas for years for everyone to see.

These people are under absolutely NO obligation to respond truthfully to the press. NONE whatsoever. They owe us NOTHING!

Here's a tip for you, obeymidget: Do you seriously want to F with a guy who already spends his time participating in subversive activities that risk jailtime? Point being: He's already demonstrated that social conventions don't hold him back. You'd be wise to reconsider your new hobby of tracking him down by stalking his family.

This is what happens when The News Of The World is no longer around to pay these people to go through the bins of the rich and famous.

I think he/she is bang out of order! Every deserves the right to a private life and the parents/sister of 'Banksy' are no different!!! Guilty by association??? Should be left alone!

etc etc.. feel free to answer what you can today, we'll be back for more tomorrow.

THAT is some messed up logic !
If the police want to track down Banksy, fair enough (although I'm sure they know who he is by now), but it is no way in the public interest to stalk him or his friends or his family. Not by a newspaper, and certainly not by random strangers !

I like to treat my sex life in the same way that Banksy treats a wall!
I only do it under the shadow of darkness, spray everywhere and disappear! Never to be seen again… [/b]  [/color]
