As the powers at be have covered up this new #Banksy work, the only proper course of action by a concerned population is to spread the image as far and wide as we can before it disappears.

I thought their worships were absolutists when it comes to defending art. Or is that only if your name is ‘Just stop oil’?

@christineburns

It appears that there is one rule for one and another if they don't agree with your message Christine.

@jacqui76 Very impressive, that site is on a bend in Carey St at the rear of the RCJ, surveillance cameras all around.

@guardeddon

I would like to know how he got past the CCTV?

@jacqui76 @guardeddon In the series Dexter, the Dark Passenger wears a hoodie with LEDs around the inner rim so his face is blanked out by the light so cannot be recognised on CCTV. Perhaps it is time for the resistance to start wearing them? The link is supposed to explain how you make one. #TheCameraShyHoodie https://www.macpierce.com/the-camera-shy-hoodie
The Camera Shy Hoodie — Mac Pierce

A DIY wearable for avoiding recognition on IR security cameras.

@Dialectician @jacqui76 @guardeddon

Biometric identification already moved on to infrared and full body patterns.

LED hoody won't help here.

@laris @jacqui76 @guardeddon From the link: ‘The hoodie embeds a number of high-power IR LEDs, utilizing the same wavelength of infrared light commonly used by security cameras as flood lights for night vision. By pointing the LEDs back at the camera and setting them to a tuned strobe, the security camera’s capture becomes overexposed, significantly losing definition of the scene.’

Drone warfare now uses very long fibre cables to avoid RHF frequency interference, just saying, if there’s a means there’s a way.

@Dialectician

Sry for being not precise enough:

I guess that full body biometric-individual heat signature's and movement patterns won't be hidden by an LED hoodie.

@Dialectician @laris @jacqui76 @guardeddon This is exactly what they did (albeit in fiction) in the Spike Lee film Inside Man.

Banksy-kunstwerk met rechter die demonstrant aanvalt meteen afgedekt

Mogelijk verwijst het kunstwerk naar het verbod op de actiegroep Palestine Action. Rechtbankmedewerkers grepen daarom in.

@Frantasaur

That is what happens when to try to censor something, it spreads like wildfire.

@jacqui76 Cellphones, 18th century periwigs, and indifference to the suffering of others—how typical of 21st century English jurisprudence! (Full disclosure: I’m a citizen of the US. Despite our Declaration of Independence from Georgian indifference to the fate of others, and our eventual integration of the once despised Irish and Jewish immigrant population, at this point modesty and a history of slavery and genocide should incline us to keep our mouths shut.) Sorry for the cultural arrogance!
@jacqui76 why cover it up? Who decided to cover it up? It just means more people will share !
@jacqui76 Banksy's censored High Court Art.
Britain now stifles peaceful dissent like a repressive regime. It’s time to roll back our anti-protest laws

Under the Tories, non-violent climate protesters were jailed for up to five years – and there is little sign that Labour will change tack, says Linda Lakhdhir, legal director of Climate Rights International

Syria and Iraq to Discuss Revival of Decades-Old Cross-border Oil Pipeline | Pipeline Technology Journal

Syria’s energy minister, Mohammed Al-Bashir, has hinted at plans to visit Iraq to discuss reviving a defunct oil pipeline that previously transported crude from northern Iraq to a Syrian port on the Mediterranean Sea, officials said Monday.

Banksy at Royal Courts of Justice in London! - STREET ART UTOPIA

A new mural by Banksy was discovered on Monday on a building belonging to the Royal Courts of Justice in London. The artwork depicts a judge in a traditional white wig raising his gavel against a protester, who shields himself with a blood-smeared placard. According to British media, the mural is seen as a response […]

STREET ART UTOPIA

@jacqui76 That is a really good photo.

What it just taken by someone passing with a phone having really good luck with the timing?

Or was the traffic kept out of the way of the professional photographer, and pedestrians kept out of the way, apart from the actor dressed up as a lawyer?

@jacqui76 @dangillmor is the irony that the Magna Carta came about as the result of protest mentioned anywhere?!
