"Thank you so much for this really good picture."

Kids at a primary school in Bristol are thrilled after a secret visit from notorious graffiti artist and political commentator Banksy. Banksy is well-known for conveying social commentary through his art, often including messages you might expect to beyond the comprehension of eight-year-olds... These ones in particular seemed to love it. Even head teacher at the school Geoff Mason said "We're thrilled he's paid us a visit." This video features the image and a few thoughts from the kids at the school: https://twitter.com/shirlero/status/740481144626483200 As well as the mural, Banksy also left the kids a note that said "If you don't like it, feel free to add stuff, I'm sure the teachers won't mind. Remember, it's easier to get forgiveness than permission." He's like some kind of subversive Santa Claus.
