A new Banksy mural showing a group of pigeons holding anti-immigration banners has been destroyed following a complaint the work was "racist".
The mural in Clacton-on-Sea - where a by-election is due to take place following the local MP's defection to UKIP [anti-immigration and anti-europe etc]- appeared this week.

Nigel Brown, communications manager for the council, said: "The site was inspected by staff who agreed that it could be seen as offensive and it was removed this morning in line with our policy to remove this type of material within 48 hours.
"We would obviously welcome an appropriate Banksy original on any of our seafronts and would be delighted if he returned in the future."

Could be seen as offensive by numpties - and I am sure the artist will be rushing to grace your seafront with something inoffensive and impossible to misconstrue.

This is the mural - clearly a dig at anti-immigration protestors - if anything it is anti-racist:
