As the powers at be have covered up this new #Banksy work, the only proper course of action by a concerned population is to spread the image as far and wide as we can before it disappears. #protest #Banksy #Freepalestine

I thought their worships were absolutists when it comes to defending art. Or is that only if your name is ‘Just stop oil’?

@jacqui76@mastodon.ie Very impressive, that site is on a bend in Carey St at the rear of the RCJ, surveillance cameras all around.

@jacqui76@mastodon.ie Cellphones, 18th century periwigs, and indifference to the suffering of others—how typical of 21st century English jurisprudence! (Full disclosure: I’m a citizen of the US. Despite our Declaration of Independence from Georgian indifference to the fate of others, and our eventual integration of the once despised Irish and Jewish immigrant population, at this point modesty and a history of slavery and genocide should incline us to keep our mouths shut.) Sorry for the cultural arrogance!

@jacqui76@mastodon.ie It would be wonderful if Banksy "named names". The names of the people who bought anti-protest legislation & a court system siding with them. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/10/britain-protest-laws-tories-climate-labour https://www.desmog.com/2023/06/29/rishi-sunak-boasts-that-oil-funded-think-tank-helped-us-draft-crackdown-on-climate-protests/ https://www.bigissue.com/opinion/liberty-anti-protest-laws-court-of-appeal-2025/ https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/rishi-sunak-right-wing-think-tank-anti-protest-laws-policy-exchange/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/14/rightwing-lobbyists-at-heart-of-anti-protest-bills-in-republican-states Start with the people funding a Gaza genocide for a pipeline construction project & an oil port. Accelerate the move to wind, solar sand renewables & save the lives of millions, in Gaza & elsewhere. 1/

@jacqui76@mastodon.ie That is a really good photo. What it just taken by someone passing with a phone having really good luck with the timing? Or was the traffic kept out of the way of the professional photographer, and pedestrians kept out of the way, apart from the actor dressed up as a lawyer?

@jacqui76@mastodon.ie @dangillmor@mastodon.social is the irony that the Magna Carta came about as the result of protest mentioned anywhere?!
