The point is not just that he's blinded by the flag: He's boldly marching into the void, confident. "wrapped in the flag" is a great saying.

Statue of a man in a suit walking off a precipice while blinding himself with the flag he is carrying.

I think it's a reasonable statue. But does anyone else think it's a bit obvious, more so than his other work? Like there is no doubt on the meaning at all, it's all right there on the surface level.

I misparsed this headline as

(Statue (of a man (blinded by a flag (put up by Banksy)))) in central London

It is intended to be

((Statue (of a man (blinded by a flag))) (put up by Banksy)) in central London

Anyone else leaving up a huge statue in the middle of the park would be arrested

This is such a stupid lefty statue. It shows how stupid these people are! The man is walking, but he can not see anything! Only that stupid left marxist can build such a stupid statue.

The proud American people with the BE BEST president will build much better statues with our beloved KING! No stupid senseless lefty propaganda statue, but a proud hero of beautiful nature who ended 62 wars and made America great again!

We are be best people and will be best on world!

Yeah, definetly had the city agree to it, no way in hell to sneak a statue like that without the cops getting involved.

Which flag?
