One Nation Under CCTV

There's a fine line between vandalism, which I am totally against, and graffiti-as-murals, which I totally support as a form of artistic expression, though technically illegal. Below is one such graffiti-mural that I think is completely awesome.



The graffiti artist known as "Banksy" was able to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence and paint this mural of small boy, watched by a security guard, painting the words: 'One nation under CCTV' (closed-circuit television) -- all the while an actual CCTV camera was watching nearby. Banksy got away without being detected, having completed his biggest piece yet in central London.



Nice. George Orwell would be proud.
