sidcow Posted March 27 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27 Anyone know if the Banksy above Jewellery Quarter railway station is still there? I mentioned it to my daughter and she said she might go see it, but I did wonder if it's even still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people genuinely interested in it, or is it just an excuse to upload a photo to social media to look cool? He was a very earlier adopter of both satirical/political work of his type, and the timing landed well with Social Media. There's a lot of decent artists out there (term used loosely) but he's played the game like a pro. He had his thing (he wasn't the only one to do what he did with the stencils and that, but I think you can argue he was the most original) and when he took off, he pulled many more stunts other than just painting, including his film/docu, pop up stalls, political graff on the West Bank. That kind of thing would never not get him more exposure. And, personally, (shoot me down) - some graff I think is fantastic, and he's deliberately created some art in places where it would help communities services. But, he should probably get back to Massive Attack, because their most recent music hasn't been good enough. PS - A lot of graff is shite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are odd. can you ruin / deface something that has already ruined / defaced a perfectly good wall ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Chicken burgers. On their own they are too dry for a burger, and if they are battered or coated you don't need the bread. Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are heads of the PO getting prison time. Disgraceful business I actually think they might get some kind of criminal prosecution. Especially as it's recently come out that they proceeded with the prosecutions knowing full well that there were problems with the system. I know it won't be believed but company directors really do get prosecuted criminally, they don't always get away with it and with this being so high profile, and the victims having a voice to keep it high profile I think this won't just go away for them.

These people should not be able to get away with it, paid millions in bonuses, while post office employess were comitting suicide. I saw a interview with a previous Fujitsu employee working the IT help line for the system, saying they were told not to help the victims, an under no circumstances mention the system was flawed. Guy was in tears thinking back what he had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 12 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12 I'm at Solihull Station. Opposite me is the completely overgrown unused island platform. Sitting on it is a toilet brush. How the **** does a toilet brush end up in an unused island platform at a railway station. How did it get there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be prosecuted as well, disgusting watching people going to prison when you know the evidence is flawed, why stick your head out now, because it's safe to do so and he can get some air time out of it, weasel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
