BANKSY GETS THROUGH TO THE COUNCIL


Artist Banksy made a comment on London's policy to rid the streets of traditional telephone boxes without consultation.
Many new phone boxes are run by companies with more expensive tariffs than BT, targetting tourists. What's more, they're ugly as fuck.
Though modernisers will say that the old box wasn't easily accessible for all, rather like the London Routemaster Bus, it seems odd that these design classics have been dumped so readily rather than adapted.
In true Westminster Council style, the work of art was cleared away "because it didn't have planning permission". Sounds a bit picky to us...
