Banksy Brexit mural no more
Banksy's Brexit mural in Dover has been painted over... A white square is replacing it and the rest of the building hasn't even been painted... #BrexitCrisis #LittleEngland
Can we cancel Brexit as well now?
Banksy Brexit mural painted over
A Brexit-themed Banksy mural in England has been covered up with white paint.
The artwork appeared on a former amusements arcade near Dover's busy ferry terminal in May 2017 where it could be seen by lots of passing motorists.
It showed an EU flag with a workman chipping away one of the stars, symbolising Britain leaving the EU.
The mural had been covered up last month and workmen had assembled scaffolding over it.
A local MP Charlie Elphicke has spoken out about its disappearance, saying a group called Historic England should "hang their heads in shame" for not protecting the piece.
