Banksy - The parking attendant?

The Daily Mail has unveiled a picture of a parking attendant that uncannily looks like an old archived picture of 'Banksy'. The man in the picture on the right looks very similar to the picture on the left which was released by the Daily Mail in 2008. The original picture is said to be of a chap called Robin Gunningham, who Banksy fans sometimes claim is Banksy! The original picture, showing 'Banksy,' was taken in Jamaica in 2004. The new picture was taken at Banksy's new Dismaland theme park in Weston-super-Mare. What do you think, same person? Read more...
