Controversy over Mural in London 2012

One of Mear One's works, a mural titled Freedom for Humanity painted in 2012 on Hanbury Street , London , sparked controversy in the media when commentators compared it to anti-Semitic propaganda in Nazi Germany. The matter re-emerged in March 2018 when British Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn asked Mear One in a 2012 Facebook post why the mural should be removed, and the removal of the Nelson Rockefellers mural Destruction of Diego Rivera's fresco Man at the Crossroads in 1934.
