Banksy speaks

As recently reported here at ILG, the Banksy mural in central London is possibly up for removal. Now Banksy speaks about the mural here, and Times Magazine has a long article here about the whole case. Here at ILG we think its great that one single wall start stirr so much controversy, go Banksy!
P.S: To give a hint of how popular this mural is, just see how many pages of photos of the mural comes up on a Google Image search here...
