no, removing art has cost the public almso 150 grand. the art is for free
Government’s panicked response to Banksy works cost public whatever.
The art on your building isn’t the real problem here, but it is a big hint
No, it hasn’t. The government lies.
The government lies because it is threatened by and desperately ashamed of the truth and has spent way more than hundreds of thousands trying to hide it.
Wow… What a title.
And once again the artist doesn’t see a dime of that money
Britain doesn’t use dimes. So that’s to be expected.
OK, a tuppencequidbithappenny
Sounds bigger when you put it like that.
It is so nice to see government supporting the arts. Wish we had that in the US.
Cool, now they own him only 1 999 850 000 pounds for 2023 alone.

Take it out of the Arts funding. Well worth it.
Now do how much he saved the government from funding public art
But how can you put a price on art? /s
Couldn’t they just get a guy to come and power-wash away the art? Grab a couple of cops as security
The government would make more money by carefully removing the entire section of wall and selling it at Christie’s.
It’s almost as if there’s an entire article about their efforts to do just that…
Woah, you got a link?
They’re making a reference to a famous Banksy piece depicting what they described…
