No Ball Games

This is one of the new Banksy pieces that have sprung up all over London in the past couple of weeks since his Bristol show closed. This one is in Tottenham and despite only being painted a couple of days ago has already been covered over with perspex by the landlord of the building it's on, presumably with a view to making some money out of it.

I hate it when street pieces are "protected" like this, I'd rather they got dogged or buffed than endured this kind of living death.
