Banksy. The End of Summer Swallow

This is wonderful. The messages it sends are enough. After all this is the time of migration and
everything is going southward except Douglas Carswell because he travelled east to Clacton-on-Sea but maybe he will go west!

It doesn't matter if this is ironic, sarcastic or just plain funny, but if you think that it is racist then so be it. There are some people with concerns and lives they see as being affected by an influx of people to their area. They are entitled to their view as we live in a democracy.

For me it is quite simple that five pigeon hybrids or if you prefer it 'mixed race' are casting unfriendly looks at one colorful Barn Swallow who will shortly pack his (or her - no sexism here!) winter suitcase and fly unaided to Africa. That bird has guts! It will feed as it goes on those tiny black dots - really yummy stuff - of energy as the 'feral' pigeons fluff their feathers against the cold north wind and feed off scraps and handouts. There's no competition really. This is a sad time of defections, desertions and the end of another summer.

Roll on next April and more artwork on walls delivering more messages.

Stay outspoken.

Confront the issues and let the spoilers reflect on their censorship.
