    Banksy, the people's voice?

    Banksy has been to Dalston Post Office and left some art work.

    It's a cat on a "Sold" sign, repeated 3 times.

    In protest at Post Office's being sold off.


    I really admired the one he did showing how Tesco's becoming too big for it's boots.

    A Tescos plastic bag was flying from a flag pole and children were worshipping it.

    Yes - Banksy rules!

    I'm thinking of doing a mini-'tour' (haha) of the Banksy works - could be fun...................

    Banksy is a bit more imaginative than the ubiquitous TOX' 03 (and TOX '04 and surprise surprise TOX '-5) in London.

    Although I find TOX didn't do much from 2006 onwards

    Always used to see that prolific and annoying signature on the walls when I took the train from Luton to central london

    I don't believe it!

    Went to take a photo of the Banksy artwork and the Post Office has painted over it!!!

    This Post Office is an official one, not a franchise, and was never under threat from closure.

    But, 7 other Post Offices surrounding it are, which is why he painted it on the main BO.
