YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Banksy, the elusive street artist, has claimed responsibility for a new mural that appeared this week on the side of a judicial building in London. The mural was quickly covered with black plastic and a judge ordered it be removed because of rules about listed buildings.

The mural depicts a judge in a traditional wig and robe using a gavel to beat a protester. There’s no reference to any particular incident, but it comes as police arrest hundreds of protesters across the country weekly for expressing support for a banned pro-Palestinian group.
