‘Spy’ mural near GCHQ may be Banksy’s work

Mysterious street artist Banksy appears to have unveiled his latest creation — targeting the issue of government surveillance.

The artwork shows three 1950s-style agents, wearing brown trench coats and trilby hats, using devices to tap into conversations at a telephone box.

It appeared overnight on a street in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, just a few miles from GCHQ, where the UK’s surveillance network is based.
