Its not an official genuine portrait, not commissioned by the Uni, but something bought from a shop less than 10 years ago.
Some people need to get a grip on reality. Students take down and put up all sorts of posters in THEIR private spaces.

At the risk of repeating my point - this is what students, and professional agitators like Piers Morgan do - it's Pavlovian and pointless, and everyone will move on to something else in a day or so.
