Here’s a contender for slap down of the week, which began when Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy highlighted a new Banksy artwork which had something to say about Brexit and the state of the nation right now.

Rather lovely it is too.

Interesting how none of the replies have noticed the mouse chipping away at the negative message…

Looks like it's actually using the message to break the lock on the door. I think it's great!

Except well, Leave EU, the pro-Brexit group funded by Arron Banks, they didn’t like it. They didn’t like it at all.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, 201k people immigrated to Britain from the EU in 2018 alone – that's a city the size of Portsmouth!https://t.co/ntwXbJeHQw https://t.co/4DXlatEk73

And Guru-Murthy had the perfect response.

But what you fail to tell your followers is that 145,000 people emigrated FROM Britain TO the EU in the same period under the right of free movement that will disappear after Brexit. It was the lowest net EU immigration for almost a decade https://t.co/s1s5XUKrKM

Arron Banks didn’t want to leave it there, but only made it worse for himself.

I see , no one immigrated outside of the UK before we blessed members of the EU. https://t.co/ZuWzpaSDbi

It’s ’emigrated’, Einstein.

Art or not art? Definitely art.
