A huge mural in Dover, England depicting a workman removing one of the stars on the European Union flag is by Banksy, it was confirmed today.
The famous street artist’s verdict on Brexit is on a three-storey wall by the A20 near the town’s ferry terminal. It features a workman in his distinctive black and white style chiselling off part of the bright EU logo.
The mural seemed to appear overnight on the side of Castle Amusements on Townhall Street and drew excited speculation that it was indeed a Banksy. The artist cleared up the matter on Sunday afternoon by posting the image on his Instagram account.
It is in a highly conspicuous position near the port by a main roundabout. One the other side of the building there is a “Welcome to Dover” sign.
Google earth shows the building before the stencil went up.
