UK protests spotlight Gaza links; 3D (Robert Del Naja) of Massive Attack linked to Banksy mystery and Bristol art scene—graffiti artist and musician.
Multiple sources, including Reuters, confirm that Banksy is Robin Gunningham, a Bristol-born artist who changed his name to David Jones in 2008. Recent investigations link him to work in Ukraine and reveal his real identity, ending decades of mystery surrounding the street artist.
On April 11, 2026, London's Metropolitan Police arrested 523 protesters supporting Palestine Action during a sit-down demonstration in Trafalgar Square. The group was banned as a terrorist organisation in July 2025, but the High Court ruled the ban unlawful in February 2026. Despite this, police resumed arrests in late March as the government appeals the ruling. Over 3,000 arrests have been made since the ban.
