Thought it was interesting that the building own (I assume) took the decision to remove it

  1. If I owned the building I’d do the same tbh;

    1. Otherwise someone who has no claim will no doubt steal it.

    2. Trying to preserve/protect it in situ, will take time, money and effort.

    3. I might not/wouldnt want my building to turn into a tourist attraction.

    Personally, I think Banksy should stop vandalising people’s private property.

  4. Everyone tossing off over a spraypainted goat like banksy is some kind of artistic genius

  8. It’d be great if Banksy’s next piece can be done on Farage’s neck.

  9. What the fuck? They smashed a huge hole in the wall because of a spray painted stencil of a goat?

    The world has gone mad.

  11. It’s getting taken for preservation as the building has planning permission to extend upwards.

    TBC what will happen next.

  13. There’s a CCTV camera pointing straight at the thing. You telling me it didnt see Banksy?

  14. Why do they always do this with Banksy stuff- remove it from where it was done? It’s not the same in some museum or gallery attached to some bit of wall…

  15. In purely economic terms, this means the value of that painting exceeds the cost of ripping out this wall and rebuilding it
