Banksy revealed - Gollum will swivel on a sixpence

You will recall that in a recent post, Gollum praised the works of the
"artists" who paint graffiti on trains, and gave an honourable mention
to Banksy.

Banksy has now been "outed" by the Sunday version of Gollum's
favourite newspaper, the Mail on Sunday, as "a 34-year-old former
public school pupil called Robin Gunningham".

So, a public schoolboy, huh? Cue the quickest U-turn in history on
Gollum's behalf ...

I doubt Duhg is really a horny-handed son of toil himself. Many of his
type are failures with comfortable middle class backgrounds. He probably
had quite a reasonable start in life but still couldn't hack it, due
entirely to his own personal failings.

Cue guadianistas u-turning all around islington. They favourite dahn-
wiv-da-kids urban street "artist" sticking it to the The Man with his
anonymous paintbrush turns out to be a Tarquin. No doubt Polly Toynbee
and her ilk will now be furiously back pedalling and spinning him as
some post modernistic robin hood of the art world expressing his
empathy with the downtrodden masses blah de f*cking blah...

If banksy bothered to ask permission first I don't think anyone would
have a problem with his art. But any paint on a wall is vandalism if
the owner doesn't want it there no matter what its artistic merits.

Some of them are dreadful retards.

I laugh at the ones who try to be "hip" and "cool" by acting how they
think "yoof" should behave. I laugh even louder and longer at the
retarded Tarquins turned out by sub-standard "public" schools which
model themselves on Dotheboys Hall. There are several of those in Wales,
you know? One can always spot the alumni, who tend to be sub-literate
drooling retards existing on an "allowance" because they're too dim to
nail down a job.
