The latest mural from secretive street artist Banksy features two reindeer painted onto a brick wall appearing to pull along a bench on Vyse Street in Birmingham like Santa's sleigh.

The latest mural from the secretive street artist features two reindeer painted onto a brick wall appearing to pull along a bench on Vyse Street in the city's Jewellery Quarter like Santa's sleigh.

A video posted by Banksy on his Instagram page shows a man with a white beard, apparently homeless, drinking from a bottle before climbing on to the bench to lie down as some people walk past."In the 20 minutes we filmed Ryan on this bench passers-by gave him a hot drink, two chocolate bars and a lighter - without him ever asking for anything."

The artist's publicist did not immediately respond to a question as to whether the man in the video was a rough sleeper or an actor.

Homelessness is a result of sustained, popular govt policy. The Irish like their house to be expensive so they're happy when housing is expensive so they're (mostly) happy with homelessness. And the predictable (and predicted) social and economic consequences...be damned.

Brother Kevin saddened at children facing homelessnessThe founder of the Capuchin Day Centre has described the homelessness crisis as absolutely appalling, and appealed to the Government to build more homes to tackle the issue. It doesn't saddens the government and their pretend opposition though. Such a blemish and shame on our society. When we come out of the womb we all have high expectations that we will have a great life for as long as we live. Anything that will extinguish that hope,like poverty and homelessness need to be driven out of our society right now.
