Another walk through the People's Republic of Stokes Croft, another couple of graffitti pictures. This one has recently appeared in one of the more sheltered locations:






And, in a more familiar style, there's a garish temple to a grungy Santa Muerte



You'd have to be singularly incurious not to what to know what's going on in here, I think:




Finally, what is it with children's characters and illegal immigration these days? First there was poor Dora the Explorer, after her ill-advised trip to Maricopa County:



And now, Paddington Bear has turned up in Stokes Croft:



Actually, thinking about it, there is an awful lot of illegal immigration in children's books. (Yes, Lucy Pevensie, I'm looking at you!) Hmm. That may be a post for another day...

I adore the Paddington picture!

You're right about Lucy. Not just an illegal immigrant, she brought her whole family in with her, including a cousin who then brought in a friend - you see what happens if you give these people any sort of leeway? And then there#s Will and Lyra...

I love these - Paddington Bear and all. And your Lucy Pevensie comment rather chimes with my recent post! (This is Kath, by the way, still unable to comment except anonymously.)
