"They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains." Adrian and Shane (on Bluesky)

"The stain remains"

I'll say.

#Banksy #UKPolitics #InJusticeSystem

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign. The protester is laying on the ground, unarmed and already bloodied; the only color is the red on the sign and on the ground, below the protester's head, implying they're bleeding from a head injury.

A view from the street, showing one entrance to the Royal Courts of Justice in London, off to the left side; the center of the photograph is the wall where a Banksy has been erased, leaving behind the black and white silhouette of a bewigged judge, holding a gavel like a hammer over their head while standing over a prostrate protester, who is unarmed, holding up one empty hand and a placard on the other hand. The stain is very clear against the rest of the wall.
