Banksy does some explaining too. When he was doing his work he was interrupted by an Israeli thug and then a Palestinian. The following exchanges ensued:-
Soldier: What the fuck are you doing?
Me: You'll have to wait 'til it's finished
Soldier (to colleagues): Safety's [ sic ] off
Old man: You paint the wall, you make it look beautiful.
Me: Thanks
Old man: We don't want it to be beautiful, we hate this wall, go home.

Banksy Thanks The NHS In Southampton [ 7 May 2020 ]
QUOTE
A new creation by mysterious street artist Bansky has appeared at Southampton general hospital, paying tribute to NHS staff during the coronavirus pandemic.Titled 'Game Changer,' the latest offered from the world renowned artist is almost a fully monochrome painting, depicting a young boy playing with toys.
As ever with the world of Banksy, a thought-provoking twist is added.
UNQUOTE
This is a nice picture, much more detailed than Banksy's usual cartoons. And yes, there is a message in it.
Errors & omissions, broken links,
cock ups, over-emphasis, malice [ real or imaginary ] or whatever; if
you find any I am open to comment.
