A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy has appeared on the side of the Royal Courts of Justice building in central London.

It depicts a judge in a traditional wig and black robe hitting a protester lying on the ground, with blood splattering their placard. :skull:

In the age of memes, street scrawls really don't have the same effect they used to.

They draw SO MUCH MORE attention to it by scrabbling around trying to destroy it.

A good illustration of modern Britain. Masked man removes artistic dissent against a

A mural by the street artist Banksy is being removed from the wall of a court building in London.

The mural appeared on an external wall of the Queen's Building, in the Royal Courts of Justice complex, on Monday.

The image depicted a protester lying on the ground holding a blood-spattered placard while a judge, in a wig and gown, looms over him, wielding a gavel.

The work has been covered up at various points since it was discovered and guarded by security staff, with the HM Courts & Tribunals Service confirming that it would be removed due to the building being listed and therefore legally protected.

I actually thought it was one of his best works

Makes sense if they're having that much trouble removing it that they need strong chemicals to remove so the masks make sense. And funny enough it doesn't seem to really be working :laugh:

It looks like he went with a paint that he knew would be difficult to remove any signs of staining of and it's not like they can just paint over it and have it match (the more practical solution)
