Londoners tore down the police barrier hiding Banksyโ€™s new mural on the Royal Courts of Justice, showing a judge striking a protester with a gavel. The artwork appeared just two days after nearly 900 pro-Palestine activists were arrested in London.
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 [โ€ฆ]

STREET ART UTOPIA

@streetartutopia It's better this way. It's really not that great of a piece. Looks like something Mr Brainwash would do.

@Scrimshaw9 @streetartutopia

There's more to art than steady hand.

That it creates the reactions it does, proves Banksy created art.

@iju @streetartutopia Nah, because he just regergitated a populist take in this piece, he isn't taking any risks here, changing any minds, making anyone think, its really shallow and safe. Guy used to take huge risks, guy used to have a sense of humor, guy used to make people
stop and say, "oh that's creative plus how did he do it?" This is none of that. This is something Mr Brainwash would do. This is like a
print for an Etsy store. I expect better from Bansky.

Banksy has confirmed he was responsible for the work

@streetartutopia They didn't "tear it down", they moved it just enough to take a rare picture for their instagram. It's almost like the barrier is part of the artwork...
@streetartutopia
๐Ÿ™„ Isn't everyone whose face is identifiable in this video now on the HM Government "Terror Watch List"?
@BlippyTheWonderSlug @streetartutopia cute of you to think that there is someone who is *not* on that list already.

@streetartutopia

Not sure it's a good idea to have identifiable video of the people actually doing it. I wonder did they consent to that, do you know?

@unchartedworlds @streetartutopia This, but also they're just taking pictures, not "releasing" the art to all.
@streetartutopia Londoners better tear down the royalty from justice.
@streetartutopia
This really smells like decaying body of Soviet Union on life support in early 80's.
When people laugh - system dies. You don't need to write anything on that placard cos' everybody knows what's on that placard.
And terrified servants of the system can't even make the simlest desicion - paint it over. Halfmeasures because they scared and uncertain.
