Further street art news just in… Due to my reporting and hence the global interest in our very own Banksy snow sculpture, nicknamed by moi as “Snowsy”, your local paper has decided it needs saving for the nation. We are starting a fund to buy a freezer to put it in so we can save it for all those who believe that art lifts spirits during lockdown (yeah, right!) and then sell it for millions of pounds. It needs saving quick as it’s already only half the sculpture it was due to being left out on the street… To be honest it looks a bit crap now but then I wasn’t a big fan of it anyhow until I found out it was worth shedloads!

Why not donate a few hundred pounds to keep this art in the UK (or at least until we can auction it off)… Think of it is an icy ISA, an ethical investment… And if you have a big freezer why not donate that as well?
