Reuters Simon Gardner, James Pearson, Blake Morrison and Michael Williams should know no rest for outing Banksy.

@paul Thanks for not linking/capturing the actual story. The mystery is still there for me at least :)

My favourite Banksy-adjacent story: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg7nlj9g37jo

Glasgow artist swaps Duke of Wellington statue's traffic cone for paper-reading pigeon

The Duke of Wellington statue traditionally has a traffic cone atop its head - but a street artist has given the landmark a comical makeover.

@hakona yeah. that was my intention. There is enough in my post, including the source, title of the article, etc, for inquiring minds. Plus, I didn't want to give them clicks.

Just be aware that #Banksy's #Wikipedia page has been edited to include the real name in the first sentence, although it looks like an edit war is going on to add and then remove it. It is mentioned in the talk page.
