In this artwork, Banksy employs his classic humour to satirise authorities and challenge the notion of street art as vandalism. Typically, street artists are persecuted for what is considered a violation of public and private property through their art. However, Banksy subverts this notion by transforming the wall where the stencil is placed into an "official" graffiti area.

“Imagine a city where graffiti wasn’t illegal, a city where everybody could draw whatever they liked. Where every street was awash with a million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never boring. A city that felt like a party where everyone was invited, not just the estate agents and barons of big businesses. Imagine a city like that and stop leaning against the wall – it’s wet.”
