I predict a RIOT!

 BANKSY, "Parliament Chimps", 2009

In light of parliaments sluggish reaction to the riots rampaging through Britain at this very moment, only the work of the triumphant (and fellow Bristolian) artist Banksy seemed appropriate.

MOTORBOY, "What's The Point of Robbery When Nothing Is Worth Taking?", 2009

It’s been a while since I had a look around The Bristol Museum art collection but it made sense for me to take refuge from the beckoning of BBC news and take a visit. Local artist Motorboy’s regurgitation of Adam and the Ant’s “Stand and Deliver” seemed appropriate given the subversive undertones juxtaposed against the artist's own paradoxical slogan, “its cheap because its the future”. That’s funny, I thought it was cheap (free) because its looted from Curry’s?
