A seemingly less permanent tribute that gained widespread popularity was a work provided by street artist Banksy. His "Slave Labour" stencil on a north London wall offered pointed criticism of the jubilee celebrations and the conditions that support British nationalism. The mural's removal and subsequent attempted sale at auction in February 2013 sparked international controversy, highlighting the piece's worth to local and regional residents. It's title, perhaps coincidentally, conjures another contentious part of the jubilee where unemployed workers were bussed into London on an allegedly unpaid trial to staff security for the event under what some described as "appalling" conditions.
