The elusive graffiti artist Banksy, having just won his legal battle with the EU over his right to anonymity (as if he gave tuppence for what the EU had to say....), went straight back to work in London Town.   Some just call it "The City".   This time 'round, he struck in the Finsbury Park neighborhood, painting leaves for a tree that had none.   (One will need to see the photos herein to "get the picture").       Even before Banksy 'confessed' he was the culprit, crowds began to gather, clicking smartphone selfies with the tree and its new faux leaves in the background.   The usual comments began to flow amongst the gawkers and photographers, proclaiming the work a profound "pro-Environment" piece.   A local politician chiming in with gushing praise : "We live in one environment.   It is vulnerable and on the cusp of serious damage being done to it...”...Ad nauseum.       One photographer took pics of a man in a hoodie exiting the enclosure in question (photo just above).   He readily told all he believed the individual to be Banksy himself, many believing it to be true.   It became so 'true' it got ink in the local news.   Gullibility is bottomless - once you are in over your head, you might as well be in the Marianas Trench.   The probability of Banksy waiting around until daylight (while crowds formed) before making his exit, all the while looking at the cameraman (without pulling his hoodie over his head) - and the probability of pigs taking flight is, right there, about equal.
