A new Banksy mural appears in England.

A new mural by Banksy, the celebrated and mysterious street artist, has appeared in Kingston upon Hull, a city of 250,000 in the United Kingdom. It depicts a child wielding a wooden sword and wearing a helmet-like colander on his head and shouts “draw the raised bridge”-a satirical pun concerning the abandoned movable bridge above which the mural was depicted. “Raised brige” is the raised bridge (the bridge in question is in fact disused and perpetually raised), while the word “draw” can mean either “draw” or “raise,” when referring to a bridge (the term draw-bridge indicates, in English, the movable bridge).

The work has been read as a criticism of voters who voted for Brexit: according to this view, they would be guilty of “raising the bridge” of England vis-à-vis Europe. The mural has been attributed to Banksy since the artist posted an image of the work on his Instagram account.
