Banksy - Chair smash (based on London Calling album cover

The Clash’s London Calling album cover is widely considered to be one of the best album covers of all time. Its a photo that is far from technically perfect but it captures a moment of rage beautifully. Photographer Pennie Smith didn’t rate the shot good enough because it was out of focus and Clash bassist Paul Simonon  quipped “I wish I’d lifted my face a bit more” but that’s part of its appeal. It’s not perfect, it’s done at speed and that looks true of this new Banksy piece on a pretty much always busy road directly opposite the headquarters of a large international news organisation.

What’s it about? Well to me it looks like someone has had more than enough of the nine to five.
