Went to the city to see the Banksy statue on Pall Mall. With Reform sweeping so many council elections this week its arrival is well timed.

A statue by Banksy depicts a slightly corpulent man in a suit holding a large flowing flag, set against a clear blue sky. The flag covers his face. The pose is as though he is walking ahead. One foot is on the plinth and the other is ahead, nothing underneath as though he is walking off a cliff, blinded by nationalism.
