Banksy...........Why Rats?


I love that there's a watermark on this photo.  That guy owns it.  It's his.
The video below was done by a comedy troop in England and shows what daily life must be like for everyone's favorite vandal Banksy.  You know, putting the kids to bed, washing dishes, radio interviews.

Manifesto. In recent history, Banksy’s website included a Manifesto. It was a story that describes the very heroic efforts of graffiti artists to free a prisoner who, it was believed, had been wrongly accused of a robbery.

“In 1974 a 33 year old man named George Davis was convicted of robbing the payroll of the London Electricity Board in Ilford. He was nailed on the evidence of cops who were outside the bank at the time of the robbery and was sent to prison for 20 years. … The campaign [to release him] brought the case to the attention of the Home Secretary who after a police inquiry released Davis two years into his sentence using the highly exceptional and controversial Royal Prerogative of Mercy. … The fight to free George Davis was one of the most spectacular campaigns ever fought against injustice, an achievement only slightly marred when a year after his release Davis was found guilty of robbing the Bank of Cyprus for which he served six years, and three years after which he was caught red-handed robbing a mail train.”
