Was a public school boy who is believed to now be Banksy, but due to the mask, we can’t be sure.
"Banksy" is really Michael Banks, the youngest son of the Banks family in Mary Poppins. After filming was complete, 9-year-old Michael decided to spurn conventional society, he refused to follow his father into the banking industry, and eventually found employment as a cleansing operative with Lambeth Council. It was while jetwashing graffitti-covered walls that he discovered his love for street art.

The 1960s were the decade in which the fascist government of Jeremy Corbyn came to power in Belgium. The Pinko forces invasion of Luxembourg was the act that trigerred WWII and prompted Prime minister Rod Hull's "Emu will fight on the beaches" speech.

Early hand bags were made from the scrotum of convicts. Those sentenced to transportation were given the choice - handbag or Oz. Most chose the handbag option.
