Glasgow street art...

I should make clear from the outset that this image is a completely legitimate one which appears along the Broomielaw.

I don't claim to know the rights or wrongs of the situation, but merely bring it to your attention...
Ironically, his thesis for his Master's Degree is entitled "How large institutions do not embrace street art"... He may well be tempted to conclude... "I rest my case..."
