I told you about Banksy’s latest pieces a couple days ago. It seems there’s much more to the story than a couple new stencils.  Apparently Banksy’s “Decorator” went over a piece from Robbo that ran from 1985-2009.  Robbo took it upon himself to strike back on Christmas Day.

There is more to the beef than appears at first glance,. In the 2009 book “London Handstyles”, there is a story from Robbo: ‘I was out one night with a load of old writers and got introduced to Banksy. He asked what I wrote and I told him, he cockily replied ”never heard of you” so I slapped him and said, ”you may not of heard of me but you will never forget me”. The truth in the story is evident in Banky’s very pointed taking out of Robbo’s piece, there no mere accident in the placing of Banksy’s decorator.

The riposte from Robbo has been swift and classy. “you use my piece in your shit, I’ll use your shit in mine”.
