On the statue’s position on the ceremonial island in Waterloo Place, Banksy said: “There was a bit of a gap.”<\/p>\n
Since it appeared on Wednesday, crowds have gradually increased in size.<\/p>\n
“With Banksy, it’s a limited time event because it’s public art – you don’t know how long it’s going to be up,” said 23-year-old student Ollie Isaac as he joined dozens taking a look.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s brilliant,” he added, saying he thought the statue was a response to “the resurgence of nationalism in the world and this country”.<\/p>\n
“That suit screams politician,” he added.<\/p>\n
Teacher Lynette Cloraleigh, 55, came down after a friend posted about the statue on Instagram.<\/p>\n
“I like it,” she said. “I like where it is. (It’s) intriguing how it got here.”<\/p>\n
