THE latest Banksy has been demolished, as all Banksys should be and will be from now on.
On learning that a new Banksy piece had been painted on the side of a derelict farmhouse in Herne Bay, Kent, authorities acted swiftly by destroying it and the building it stands on within 72 hours.
A spokesman for Kent County Council said: “No Banksys within our borders. That’s a promise.
“Whether it’s on the side of a convenience store or Canterbury Cathedral, if there’s even a hint of satirical stencilled graffiti making a fairly obvious point about society, our demolition teams will swing into action and down it goes.”
Arts Council head Darren Henley said: “Zero tolerance for Banksys. We’re getting rid of anything that even looks like a Banksy. Half of Shoreditch and most of Bristol will be rubble by the end of the day.
“He should be into it, given the greatest thing he ever did was destroy one of his own pictures. Because it’s all a load of old shit.”
