What happens when you wake up with a Banksy on your wall? @BBCNews looks at what happened to two homeowners who experienced exactly that. "Both artworks have been taken off the houses they were painted on — a complex, expensive operation that uses specialist equipment — so they can be sold," writes James Peak, host of Radio 4 podcast "The Banksy Story." "But while the Banksy in Margate is now on the verge of selling for well over £1m, with a sizeable chunk set to go to a domestic violence charity, and with the piece remaining in the town for the foreseeable future, the Banksy up the coast in Lowestoft languishes in a climate-controlled warehouse, costing its owners £3,000 per month."

@evan fellow #Amercans

It is our job right now to wake our fellow citizens up. There are many possible ways to do this. Pick a few and do them today.

Put copies of "On Tyranny" in your local Little Free Library.

Use chalk to write things in public spaces. You can make a plastic stencil and use spray chalk if you want to get your #Banksy on.

Print out memes and flyers. Put them everywhere. Light poles, signs and community boards.

Use wheatpaste for more permanency.

I'll post an Elon Musk WANTED poster today with the hashtag #ResInt

And this is so frustrating! Brand new, as virtually all my jigsaws are. I’ll tell you if it’s a swop. Maybe this is a feature of #Banksy ? I’m debating whether to just bin it. Certainly won’t give it to a charity shop. I’ve checked the floor, the table legs, the chair legs, the skirting boards etc in case the piece got lodged anywhere, or fell off the table. Nothing. There are no pets, no kids and no smokers here, so I’m thinking that piece never existed in the first place. Still, if you want it, I’ll post it - otherwise it’s going in the bin. It was pretty challenging once the maid and the graffiti were done. Everything else was either pavement or white wall. #JigsawPuzzle #Banksy
