Calling Ilon Musk ‘a visionary’ is a heavy stretch of imagination. The man is a con artist. I would like to present you a real artist and visionary — Banksy!

Last night, his painting named ‘Devolved Parliament’ was sold for a record sum of £9,879,500 (around $12 million) at Sotheby’s in London. If you didn’t see this canvas yet, here it is:

The bidding battle lasted only 13 minutes. We still haven’t found out the name of a lucky owner, but the price has broken previous World Auction Record nine fold over!

Well, there are people who criticized his technique — a true mishaps. The work is not about technique. It is, before everything, a strong political commentary in the art form. Is it about Brexit? True, it was dusted off ahead of the March 29 deadline for Britain’s exit from the EU, but that deadline has been extended to October 31st, and the timing of auction was ideal from the political standpoint. But the canvas was painted a decade ago, which makes Banksy a visionary, who could extrapolate developments in the parliament into the future. What do you think, did he made too much of a compliment to the MPs?

Keep following Brexit news, and please don’t forget that those apes can destroy Julian Assange:
