Banksy’s mural outside the Royal Courts of Justice depicting a protester being beaten by a judge with a gavel. I have crudely photoshopped the protester’s sign to say “Judges don’t have gavels”, because they don’t.

Message here for Banksy.

A small bone domino, about 3cm long, with a four and a three marked on the front.

This domino was found on the Mary Rose wreck site in 1979, but we’re pretty sure it was dropped onto the site at a later date, as the game hadn’t reached England when the Mary Rose sank. The style is also consistent with 17th and 18th century styles.

I may have said it before, but my God, I hate that man.

New Banksy mural appears at Royal Courts of Justice The artwork, which shows a judge hitting a protester with a gavel, was confirmed by the elusive street artist.

Unforgivable inaccuracy.

Judges always take off their ceremonial wigs when engaging in gavel-bashing.

This stuff is basic.

Intermediate courts aren't the answer. Changing the fundamental structure of delivering criminal justice is not a principled response to a crisis that wasn't caused by that structure in the first place.

We've set out alternative recommendations in our submission to Leveson's review⬇️
