Vandals ruin London's public art like Banksy — let us ordinary people enjoy it

I’m not being funny but… we can’t have nice things. I’m talking about art. The latest in London art news has seen Banksy creating new work in Finsbury Park — a beautiful mural behind a real tree that gives the appearance of leaves. A few weeks ago Banksy confirmed it was his piece on social media — and not long after that the council, along with the building owner, decided to board up the installation. It’s a bit of an eyesore now.
