They cordoned it off and covered it with tarps or sheets. They don’t want to paint over it or destroy it because it’s instantly worth a fortune and nobody knows exactly what to do, which is part of the genius of it.
It is just delicious how their knee-jerk reaction of “lets hide it” reveals so much about their mindset and how much that mural hits the target as critique of the true role of their profession in present day Britain.
Yeah I saw in the article that they covered it up and posted guards. Kind of ironic if they end up removing the section of wall and making a ton of money selling it.
“Look, Banksy thinks we’re committing atrocities! We’re gonna be rich!!”
The latest articles have also stated that the art will be preserved for it’s “historic value” which is even more funny. They don’t want anyone to see it, they find it offensive and deeply troubling for calling out abuse of power… but they are going to spend a fortune to preserve it or resell it in some way.
The UK is about just as fucked up as the United States is right now in a lot of ways, their leader is just don’t say stupid shit constantly. They have basically made it illegal to protest, not just on the Gaza on a lot of stuff, environmental, global warming, and the judges just took away the defenses protesters were using, not allowing them to say why they were doing it. And they are hitting him with these huge sentences is not like it’s months in jail we’re talking years or more.
Just to give you an idea of where they are at there was another recent case where a woman that took some abortion pills that she got from the doctor as per their laws was charged under some like 19th century law with some huge felony charge. She got not guilty but not for lack of trying on the prosecutor’s part.
I’m absolutely baffled at Labour. The Tories were a complete clown show, and it should have been trivial to put up some serious opposition against them, but they never did. Only when the Tories really burned out, did Labour win, and they’re immediately giving us Tories-light. The same shit, just toned down 20%.
When does the UK start voting for better parties? Replace the Tories with LibDem and Labour with the Greens. If I lived in England, I’d be upset I couldn’t vote for SNP. Every other party is better than these two.
Let me tell you about the tale of Neoliberalism and the center “left”. Our story begins in the 1980s, but it really takes of in the early 2000s. At the time a bloke named Tony was ruling the UK as prime minister and he had a fine Atze ruling Germany, whose name was Gerhard…
Together they dismantled social security, raised taxes on their people, and lowered taxes on their rich friends. They sold much of their realm to their rich friends, at a staggering discount. They said this would be best for the people and the global markets would demand, but also reward as such…
And they got into power because everyone was going “oh shit, we don’t want another Trump”, then just run full steam ahead into issues that will piss off their base. Someone who hasn’t been kept up to date could be excused for thinking the party restricted trans people and arresting peace protesters en masse was the more conservative party.
They followed their conquering of the Labour Party leadership thanks to a campaign of slanderous accusations of anti-semitism against the previous leader which was done with the help of Israeli-linked Jewish Groups in Britain, with a purge of Leftwingers from the Labour Party.
So it was pretty much expectable that they would be authoritarian rightwingers since that’s exactly how they behaved and they associated and got support from exactly that kind of people (having basically been gifted power by the Zionists back when people still thought accusations of anti-semitism coming from Jewish rightwingers were genuine rather than politically weaponized claims of racism).
Mind you, they only won because Britain has First Past The Post and (which is not really a Democratic member of parliament allocation system) and the Reform party split the Tory vote making them lose the top place in lots of electoral circles.
The system in Britain is rotten and the stink has risen enough to be unbearable.
The UK is about just as fucked up as the United States is right now
Lmfao, cope harder. Despite everything it’s not even close right now. Worry about your own impending Fourth Reich while the UK still has its citizens actually engaged in political activism. We’ll be fine.
It’s on the ministry of Justice building, which and this is true is worth a lot more than the painting, even if it was not a sharply critical piece against the ministry of Justice. They absolutely are going to paint over it.
I wonder if it’s a one-off statement or they have plans for a response. Being on a government building kind of prompts this result, which may be part of the intention.
That’s a good piece of art
Yeah I was gonna say, that’s a fucking awesome piece! What do they do in situations like this? Paint over it?

They reacted as the guilty do, not the innocent.

The whole point of Banksy is most of his public work cannot be resold.

To a degree, people will cut out chunks of wall to sell a banksy.
They always go for a cover up
Usually it’s just fenced off and people can still see it. Makes me think some one was upset with it.
Yeah they plan on painting over it. They covered it up and put two policemen to guard it to make sure nobody looks at it.
Guess we finally found who we’re not allowed to criticise.
That’s not dystopian or anything.

And they’re not even ruled by the conservative parties. This is the good outcome!

900 people were just arrested for protesting Israel. Don’t get too comfortable
Close:
Banksy’s art sells for millions so it would be unwise to paint over it
It’s on the ministry of Justice building, which and this is true is worth a lot more than the painting, even if it was not a sharply critical piece against the ministry of Justice. They absolutely are going to paint over it.
Getting it painted over is also poetic in itself.
Truly.
You don’t like us silencing protesters let’s also silence you depicting that 😂
Well they could cut out the painting and replace the brick work using the proceeds from selling it.
Well the good news is he will probably paint it again
