Cover-Up

This Banksy, his largest work in the UK, in Liverpool's China Town, is in the news again today as it is planned to cover (the lower half of) it up for the European Capital of Culture celebrations, due to the state the building is in.

The thing that really bugged me about this was The Metro reporting, "The image of a rat toting a machine gun, painted before the artist was famous, had faded and the Liverpool Culture Company plans to conceal it with a hoarding before the culture capital year opens tomorrow."

At what stretch of the imagination does that look like a machine gun? It’s a marker pen. At least they’ve had the sense not to repeat the error online.
