That’s a good piece of art

While the mural does not reference a particular cause or incident, its appearance comes two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a London protest against the ban on Palestine Action.
This seems nonsensical to me.
How does one confirm a true Banksy from a fake when nobody knows who he actually is? How do you verify the Banksy who confirmed it's legit is legit?
They are posted by their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/banksy/
I don't know if all their works are on there though
Kind of funny for someone like Banksy to still have to join somewhere like Instagram.
The West is dismantling every shibboleth, every sacred cow, in service to genocidal Zionism.
There's a lot of West in the West.
That said, you're exactly right for certain Western countries such as Britain, America and Germany.
Nitpick: it's Parliament who proscribed Palestine Action, not the courts.
It is the courts upholding it though.
It took like two months now that Palestine Action are allowed to get an appeals hearing in November iirc.
Courts could have decided for the proscription to not be applicable until a proper hearing takes place. Instead it was upheld.
Cross nitpick: Just because the courts are following Parliament's 'law' in no way negates their complicity in doing wrong.
See Nazi guards following Hitler's rules for reference.
Nazi guards murdered people. I'll condemn the courts for carrying out the law when it involves murdering people.
I don't believe anyone has been convicted yet in these cases (probably many have not even been charged) so the role of the courts so far was to agree to judicial review but to decline an interim block on the order. Parliament is clearly more to blame for this.
Yes, definitely wait til they start killing people. Condemnation will surely work wonders then
So, just to be clear, what are we condemning the courts - which haven't convicted anyone of anything in this - for?
Condemnation certainly doesn't achieve anything when anyone can see you're condemning people for stuff they haven't done. I know that the zeitgeist is vibes-based but we should really be doing better than that.
Yes, because prosecuting people for being political dissidents doing nothing other than holding a sign is always right and just.
Also UK judges don't use gavels.
(Edited: was gravels)
They prefer city bikes
Do the courts not get judicial review in the UK?
Judicial review would imply a higher authority.
Judicial review is a process under which a government's executive, legislative, or administrative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. In a judicial review, a court may invalidate laws, acts, or governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority.
For the most part, UK's highest legal authority is Parliament.
Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution.
The Supreme Court, as well as being the final court of appeal, plays an important role in the development of United Kingdom law.
As an appeal court, The Supreme Court cannot consider a case unless a relevant order has been made in a lower court.
-
It is the final court of appeal for all United Kingdom civil cases, and criminal cases from England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
-
It hears appeals on arguable points of law of general public importance.
-
It concentrates on cases of the greatest public and constitutional importance.
-
It maintains and develops the role of the highest court in the United Kingdom as a leader in the common law world.
I wonder if he did like Cut outlines that they could paste up there and then spray over it? Because time certainly would have been an issue at that location. Is incredible detail it seems like it would take forever if not for the outline already being done elsewhere.
One of two security officers outside the building said they did not know how much longer they would be required to stand guard, adding, "At least it's not raining."
There's nothing I love more than hearing British people complain about being forced to do the one job that they have. Miserable sods.
Cut it out and send it to the Louvre Museum.
Or to Athens. You know both the birthplace of democracy and the origin of the stolen Elgin marbles.
They are owed an even larger apology due to the rape of democracy that's taken place.
I hope that this is just a misunderstood pun?
According to a cursory search, Banksy's net worth is $50 million. Hmm.
Always resources available for this, but there's been shit graffiti on the walls round my way for years.
Given the speed it was covered. I'd not be surprised if it was a court employee. (Janitor etc). Who has a ongoing job of covering graffiti. likely due to rules of political independence/lack of bias.
There are a lot of Brits on here who are constantly shitting on Americans for our slide into authoritarianism, but at least we're not yet at the stage where it is common policy for people to get arrested for peacefully protesting.
uhhh what was that about the palestine protesters? blm activists? im pretty sure this happened before too
Maybe rethink that statement
What are you talking about Americans are getting arrested for peacefully protesting all the time tear gased tasered even beaten to death.
