Banksy Pulls Off Daring CCTV Protest in London

“The graffiti artist Banksy has pulled off one of his most audacious stunts – an enormous protest against Britain’s surveillance society painted just feet from a CCTV camera.
The guerrilla artwork appeared on a wall above a Post Office yard off Oxford Street in central London on Monday morning.
It features a boy in a red jacket painting the slogan “One Nation Under CCTV” in stark white capitals. His actions are filmed by a policeman next to a barking dog.
The secretive artist’s achievement is made more impressive by the fact that the piece is several stories high – meaning he had to erect temporary scaffolding before slipping away unnoticed.”
