Yes, you absolutely do get Copyright protection: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Kingdom (see the section on “Qualification for protection”)

You don’t get property rights over the physical object, but you automatically get copyright protections on the work itself.

Those are completely separate things and there’s no reason they would be tied together.

Hilariously enough though, someone can cut the piece of wall the artwork is on out, and sell it, which has happened.

It's their wall, after all.

Woah, not true dude! I've spent enough time with gangbangers to know that if you tag something, it means you own that entire city block, and anyone who says differently gets their ass kicked, or shot.

Playing GTA San Andreas does not count as gangbanging my friend.

Well of course. Playing GTA San Andreas is not the same thing as gangbanging your friend.
