Banksy Unveils His Latest Mural

Banksy has let the world know his take on Britain's decision to leave the European Union: The street artist has created a large mural in the British port of Dover showing a workman chipping away one of the 12 stars on the EU flag, per the AP. His representatives Monday confirmed the work is genuine. British voters decided last year to leave the 28-nation EU, and the new mural is in the city that's the main British gateway for traffic to continental Europe. It comes amid the lead-up to a British election. (Banksy recently redecorated a West Bank hotel offering the "worst view in the world.")
