Notably less popular is Kissing Coppers, a stencil of two male police officers in uniform locking lips. This piece proves divisive, with 37% of Britons saying they like the artwork, but 35% saying they dislike it.
Attitudes are subject to a political and generational split – most older Britons and Tory/Reform voters dislike the piece, while it is generally popular among younger Britons and Labour/Lib Dem/Green voters.
That said, Kissing Coppers is still notably less popular among Labour and Lib Dem voters, and 25-49 year olds, than any of Banksy’s other works, and while this is less obviously the case for Greens and 18-24 year olds, it still remains bottom of the pack for these latter two groups.
