Reply to comment by ApiContraption in PsBattle: Ruined Banksy artwork. Local council immediately removed the abandoned freezer it was painted around. Margate, UK. by eastkent

Honestly I like this, I feel like with Banksy as famous as he is it kind of ruins the point of his art when cities realize they have a Banksy and bend over backwards to preserve it and kiss his ass. Not giving a shit and "ruining" the art by throwing away the fridge almost seems more anti authoritarian and pro his message at this point.

"Ruined? Can't you SEE?? Taking out the fridge means after the girl hides the body, she masterfully disposed of it without lifting a finger! But the remaining legs signify that there are no perfect crimes. 18 MILLION DOLLARS STARTING BID!"

I read the council may actually be returning the fridge… after “making it safe”

To be fair to them, kids can die inside those things if they climb inside and get trapped. So, as long as they do actually return it afterwards, I think it's fair enough.
