The brilliant 'Banksy' pulled off an another completely audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London. The Daily Mail reported that underground and thus far unknown graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.
The work, above a Post Office yard in Newman Street near Oxford Circus, shows a small boy, watched by a security guard, painting the words: ‘One nation under CCTV.’ Done under the cover of darkness, the scaffolding gang returned the next day to remove all evidence - again without the camera operator stopping them.
Andrew Newman, 35, a businessman from Dulwich, who works locally, said: ‘It was only on Sunday morning that the Post Offices guys realised what had happened.’
There are up to 4.2m CCTV cameras in Britain - about one for every 14 people.
