A new Banksy statue has appeared in London's Waterloo Place — one of the city's most monument-dense corners. The sculpture, which bears Banksy's signature on the plinth, was dropped into place from a low-loader overnight, according to a video posted on the elusive street artist's Instagram. Commentators on Banksy's Instagram speculated the work was about "blind patriotism," and questioned how he had managed to pull off such a stunt in the heart of the British establishment.
