We're Scum
An interpretation and dedication to Banksy.
Today, a new mural by the street artist Banksy appeared on the side of the Royal Courts of Justice building in central London.
It depicted a judge in a traditional wig and black robe hitting a protester lying on the ground, with blood splattering their placard.
It appeared two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a mostly peaceful London protest against the ban on Palestine Action.
The pigs have arrested hundreds, now over a thousand, people who are protesting against the ban on Palestine Action. Many of these people were elderly and/or disabled, who put up no resistance as they held up their placards.
This just shows that the pigs are just legalised fascist bullboys who work for the government's private army. They protect the government from the people.
Banksy's graffiti art is often critical of government policy, war and capitalism.
We have learned nothing from history and have become 1930s Eastern Europe.
My great uncle Jimmy died fighting fascism; he didn't vote for them.

I rarely use AI. But I used Free Pik and prompts "British police officer bending over fallen old person" as I could not find the image in any stock.
Beyond that, the image was created in Photoshop with filters, etc.
