The mural depicted a group of elderly bankers or businessmen sitting around a board game that resembled Monopoly and was supported by crouching naked human figures with dark complexions.[3] Above the group was an Eye of Providence pyramid symbol, and to the side stood a protesting figure bearing a placard with the slogan "The New World Order is the enemy of humanity".[4] According to Holocaust historian Deborah E. Lipstadt, as well as contemporary local media, the "hook-nosed, repulsive-looking characters at the table" resembled the imagery used by the anti-Semitic Der Stürmer newspaper.[5] Lutfur Rahman, then Mayor of Tower Hamlets, said "the images of the bankers perpetuate antisemitic propaganda about conspiratorial Jewish domination of financial and political institutions"[2] and ordered it to be removed.[1][4] Before its removal, the mural was painted over in white paint;[4] the artist also said in an article published by fellow conspiracy theorist David Icke that the BBC has broadcast his mural being defaced with the name of a "now defunct Jewish paramilitary organisation".[5]Mear One has stated "I came to paint a mural that depicted the elite banker cartel known as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, the ruling class elite few, the Wizards of Oz. They would be playing a board game of monopoly on the backs of the working class. The symbol of the Free Mason{{sic}} Pyramid rises behind this group and behind that is a polluted world of coal burning and nuclear reactors. I was creating this piece to inspire critical thought and spark conversation. A group of conservatives do not like my mural and are playing a race card with me. My mural is about class and privilege. The banker group is made up of Jewish and white Anglos. For some reason they are saying I am anti-semitic. This I am most definitely not... What I am against is class."[6]He has written that the painting "never said anything about these characters representing anything more than greedy old European and American men in power".[5] He added that "Some of the older white Jewish folk in the local community had an issue with me portraying their beloved #Rothschild or #Warburg etc as the demons they are." (in reference to the Rothschild and Warburg and banking families).[7][8] One commentator on graffiti art asked "So why is this mural so offensive to the local community that Mr Rahman is asking for it to be removed? Because it reveals that the global financial system is run by white, middle aged men, some of whom are also Jewish? I really hate to break it to Mr Rahman but if he travelled a few miles down the road to the City of London and went and sat in the boardrooms of the major banks I think he'd be in for a shock."[9] In March 2018, the issue of the mural resurfaced as the British politician Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the British Labour Party, on being sent an image of the mural by Mear One on Facebook in 2012, along with the news that it was to be removed, had asked the artist why it was to be destroyed, saying that he was "in good company. Rockerfeller(sic) destroyed Diego Viera's mural because it includes a picture of Lenin",[10] referring to Nelson Rockefeller's destruction of Diego Rivera's Man at the Crossroads fresco in 1934.[2] In response to allegations of sympathising with antisemitism (see: Antisemitism in the UK Labour Party), Corbyn stated, "I sincerely regret that I did not look more closely at the image I was commenting on, the contents of which are deeply disturbing and anti-Semitic."[11] Karen Pollock of the Holocaust Educational Trust said the mural was "indefensible", as it "was blatantly anti-Semitic, using images commonly found in anti-Semitic propaganda – it is impossible not to notice".[12] See also
