Street Art of the Day: A new Banksy has surfaced on the wall of a Poundland shop in London, and it depicts a child of Asian origin hard at work sewing Union Jack bunting. (Embiggen)
Chances are, the location of the work is significant: In 2010, Poundland launched an investigation after it was discovered that a 7-year-old boy was working 100 hours a week in an Indian sweatshop, producing items for the store. A spokeswoman said at the time: “Poundland does not tolerate child labor under any circumstances and will not work with companies that employ children.”

Robbo is having none of it
The wall is painted black, presumably by the council. Or someone who objects to two grown men acting like children.

Again the wall is painted black by persons unknown, this time very neatly
January 2011: Banksy returns to paint a bizarre concept piece about goldfish
Robbo is about to paint a rebuttal when he has an accident and falls into a coma.
