They appear to have shed their memories, emotions and intentions, those qualities that make each one of us an individual. Their minds remain firmly shut.

    A new Banksy has been removed from the wall and is 'held hostage' by a youth club that wants to raise money by letting the public view it. Ethical? Shouldn't art be public? Should we respect Banksy's views? As much as I would love to hang up his visual satires on my wall, they should stay on the public wall, really.
