On the topic of Banksy, how can they put a value on a piece of immovable, unsellable art where the canvas is the property of (I presume) the London Underground? Or have they estimated the cost to move the wall into a gallery and re-brick the hole and arrived at the £300,000 number? The Pratt incident was covered by Media Watch this week.

Actually further investigation reveals that <a href = "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6575345.stm" rel="nofollow">this</a> Banksy mural was painted over in London, but it seems to be different to the one referred to above - it's clearly not ordinary graffiti. I'm not clear on whether these are two different episodes, or whether The Sun story is just bogus/inaccurate - I would trust the BBC over The Sun, somehow. Good point.

How would they know that this particular piece of street-art is acceptable and is not to be painted over?
