“If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes politics”

The “big lie” is, “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth”—a statement often attributed to Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945), Adolf Hitler’s Propaganda Minister in Nazi Germany.
   
The street artist Mogul painted this statement on a London street in 2010, but with a young girl crossing out the word “truth” and writing in “politics.” The artwork is frequently—but incorrectly—credited to street artist Banksy, who popularized this style of art.

Wikipedia: Banksy
Banksy is an anonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director, active since the 1990s. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. Banksy’s work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians.

This stencil was made by Banksy in London, I can’t find the date.
 
At the top, it reads « if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth ». Just below it, we can see a young girl who has turned the word « truth » into « politics ». All of the graffiti is black , apart from the word politics which is in red.
