A local street artist, who goes by the name Horace, said they wanted to paint the mural of movie baddies near Worthing seafront in Sussex, and decided to add Boris Johnson.

“I think Boris’ facade as a loveable clown is wearing thin.

“I’m not sure about public reaction to the mural so far, but I’m sure it will divide opinion.”

The painting was commissioned as part of the lead up to Worthing Wormhole Comic Con on November 9, which sees actors head to the town for a day of sci-fi and fantasy celebration.

Artist Horace said the event organisers gave him free rein to come up with a design, and that it was his idea to include Boris Johnson in the mural.

“I’m a big fan of comics and the Wormhole guy said he liked Daleks and Stormtroopers so I came up with the usual suspects/police line-up idea.”

Worthing Wormhole organiser Colm Sweet said: “As organisers we have been aware of the fabulous street art popping up around Worthing in the last year.

“We purposefully did not do more than plant the seed of the idea, pay for the paint  and then step back and allow Horace to design and create a piece.

“The result is spectacular and crystallises the theme of comic con with the most topical politician of this moment in history – BoJo.”

He added that he hoped it could be enjoyed by people of every political persuasion.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
