A new piece by Banksy was unveiled today at the Royal Courts of Justice, in the very heart of London. At first glance it looks like a version of his Crazy Hippies from Glastonbury 2010. But this time it’s a judge beating a fallen protester with his gavel while the CCTV camera is looking in the other direction. Given the location of the piece, the UK’s highest court in the very centre of London, one can suspect that team Banksy was in a hurry to finish the work.
The artwork is most likely Banksy’s comment on the mass arrests of 890 non-violent protesters on Saturday, 6 September. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8rvly00440o
