So this appeared last week, opposite the entrance to the Children's Hospital, and on the day the Met were going to court (over health & Safety) for the murder of Jean-Charles de menezes. Which point to Banksy, and the fact it looks like his style. But it's not signed by him - and there are enough talented stencillers in the city to mock up a Banksy, especially since the City Council has declared him sacred. It raises all sorts of questions about whether it's possible to verify stencils etc - and even if it were 'signed', that's just a stencil too, right? So no one knows - apparently his spokesperson is looking to him for a comment, but knowing him, his only comment would be "I'm not commenting!". And does it really matter anyway? After all, it's a really well-done, interesting stencil, whoever made it. Ah, graffiti mysteries, I love them!
