WN01 - Banksy's Dismaland to help refugees in Calais


Britain's most depressing theme park is closed to the public and will be dismantled and relocated to Calais, France, to provide shelter for refugees.
Dismaland – described by the street artist as "a family attraction that acknowledges inequality and impending catastrophe" - has been extremely successful since opening in Weston-super-mare.
But today builders began dismantling the the depressing theme park after Banksy announced on his website that the timber and fixtures used would be sent to Calais to build shelters for refugees.
There are more than 3,000 men, women and children are living in awful conditions in camps at French port, the majority of them having fled war from countries like Syria, Libya and Eritrea.  
Is Banksy being generous or self promoting?

    Well done. I like that you added a picture. You should think about to use a more usually lettering because its quite difficult to read your text. And you should add your source.
