YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

James O'Brien and Theo Usherwood got into a heated debate following the news that Banksy's latest artwork - depicting rats sneezing on the inside of a London Underground train carriage - had been removed by Transport for London.

The Bristol street artist posted a video on his Instagram account showing him spraying the images, with the caption: "If you don’t mask - you don’t get."

TfL confirmed the work had been removed on Tuesday because it breached their strict anti-graffiti policy.

Theo Usherwood, impartial on all things political, took to Twitter over the removal of Banksy's work with an uncharacteristic rant which James O'Brien greatly enjoyed.

On LBC he told James he found the removal 'desperately sad,' and suggested one option could have been removing the panels that were painted on from the Tube and putting them in a museum.

A light-hearted but passionate debate then ensued between LBC presenter

James O'Brien and LBC's Political Editor on whether Transport for London knew the graffiti was from Banksy at the time of the removal.
