Park Street Mural Vandalised


Our street, where our shop is, has this big Banksy pic on it, i walk past it everyday, and it often makes me smile. I also love that most days, when i walk past it at six when the shop shuts, there is someone taking a photograph of their friends posing in front of it. People from all over the world enjoying and appreciating it.
Today there were a load of reporters and cameras around it because it has been vandalised in the night, by firing paintballs at it. There are many reports on the news and on the web. Here is one of the local ones http://tinyurl.com/m555ba.
There are plenty of people making comment about it. Me, i just think it is a shame , because i enjoy it everyday and someone has ruined that. Apparently there will be a clean up job very soon, i hope it is successful.
