Authorities in southern England were embarrassed but
defensive Thursday after telling workers to destroy a mural they later realized
was created by Banksy.
The latest piece, which featured pigeons carrying
anti-immigration banners, appeared at Clacton-on-Sea, the site of a special
election next week featuring the anti-immigration U.K. Independence Party.
Tendring Council spokesman Nigel Brown said that the mural was chemically removed
from the wall after complaints that it was racist.
