We are currently hanging on – barely – thanks to the wonderful people who loyally support us, but it’s not getting easier. we get thousands of visitors a day – so the simple math is that if every one of you who reads our site were to donate as little as 50p (66 cents) a month then OffG’s future would be secure. off-guardian.org/2026/04/04/spr…

What's funny about this is that it's entirely the fault of the person who put the paper down in the wrong place, and even THEN the moves the human player makes are totally wrong. The underlying assumptions are wrong, and the internal strategy is entirely incorrect, but you blame the logical machine for making a mistake, simply because it goes outside the line you're responsible for putting down in the wrong place. That's perfect.

Don’t be tricked into clapping this because you don’t own a jet. Jets. Cars. Boats. Bicycles. The state doesn’t have the right to control or limit your movement or how you use your private property.

🚨 NEW: Zack Polanski has called for the Government to temporarily ban private jet travel amid potential jet fuel shortages "While ordinary people pay the price, the super rich are simply getting in their private jets at will – wasting huge amounts of jet fuel"

Why do people find it so hard to grasp that a thing with a name can still not exist?

Living in this world with the governments and political class we have is like living with an unintelligent psychopath you can never escape from who is constantly trying transparent deception methods to trick you into playing along with his schemes, inveigle you into lending him money or just mind-fuck you for the thrill of the power trip. You know all his tricks, you can anticipate every tired lie coming out of his mouth, he doesn't fool you for a minute, but he never stops thinking he can. And the one thing he will never do is leave you alone.

We seem to have touched a nerve with this #Banksy nonsense. We have people in our comments section frothing at the mouth because we dared to point out the absurdity of the narrative and dear old Banksy's touching record of promoting establishment agendas such as the climate scam. Some seem to think we are trashing the artwork, which of course we aren't. But it's easier to attack us for that than to deal with anything we actually said.

@DouglasKMurray @nypost Ironically enough, the claim that the media would be in “a world of legal pain” for posting things they know aren’t true, is in fact something they know isn’t true.

John Simpson has blocked us - I don't know why, I have no memory of ever interacting with him. But here's his hilariously on-message tweet about Banky's "brilliant" statue!

@OffGuardian0 It’s not the first time he’s managed to pull off a stunt like this, good exactly the same with this one over twenty years ago

….does Banksy actually exist at this point? Because this story is dumb. Guerrilla spray painting is one thing, but you can’t just rock up to a plinth in the centre of one the busiest and most surveilled cities in the world, assemble a multi-ton statue (presumably using a crane) and then disappear into streets like Batman. You’re talking disrupted traffic and heavy goods vehicles, and probably some kind of permission from the local authorities at bare minimum.
ABC News@ABC

Banksy confirmed on social media that a statue that appeared in central London of a man striding off a plinth, with his face blinded by a billowing flag, is one of their works. abcnews.visitlink.me/u3i8U5

@nicknet100 @elniedunne A street theatre project done with full cooperation from the authorities. NOT a piece of illegal "guerrilla art". You keep posting it as if repetition will make it relevant.

@nicknet100 @elniedunne That was the Sultan's Elephant street theatre back in the 2000s. Not a piece of illegal guerrilla art. It was performed in broad daylight in several locations in London and other European cities. Not sure what point you think you're making

@spilkommen @nicknet100 Ah well done you caught up. Yes that's the point. They could easily be caught and prosecuted. But this highly litigious, controlling dystopian nightmare govt of ours is apparently not going to bother. Many people find that curious. Maybe you should too.

@OffGuardian0 @nicknet100 Duh! They filmed the installation themselves, use a fucking search engine! No need to worry about CCTV footage, it was signed and he provided proof he did it the next day.

You can’t watch TV or own a gun without a licence. You can’t homeschool your kid or keep chickens without registering with the government. They’re banning smoking and social media and smartphones for under 16s. They arrest 12,000 people a year for Facebook statuses or mean tweets. But, sure, stick a 20 foot “anarchist” sculpture up in Westminster without permission, and they’ll just smile and leave it there…because it’s powerful.
