 Same generic 'juxtaposition of consooomerist culture with SERIOUS political messages, with a generic liberal pov'

The irony is you have a strong opinion on Banksy, which is the hallmark of an effective social commentator.

 I mean he's undoubtedly a cultural phenomenon, I'd concede to it being 'art' but shit art is art.

 Who would you compare Banksy too in order to illustrate how 'it' can be done better if you know what I mean?

Is it the message that you take umbridge with, or the delivery of it?

 Hmm I'm not sure. I see this as generic Protest Art which is indistinguishable from a state approved and guardian reader's position. 

I would compare banksy to an advert on the bus from yougov to tell you when to take your recycling bins out
