The mysterious artists representatives have confirmed he was behind the piece, which depicts a workman chiselling away at one of the 12 golden stars of the EUs flag.

The artwork emerged overnight on the Castle Amusements building near Dovers ferry terminal, which connects Britain to the Continent.

According to the EUs website, the stars stand for the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Europe.

It appeared at a difficult time in Brexit negotiations, after Theresa May slammed the blocs leadership after a detailed account of her meeting with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker was published in a German newspaper.

According to the report, Mr Juncker told the Prime Minister he was 10 times more sceptical they would not be able to reach a divorce deal with Britain.

The article was joined by various over Brussels briefs, claiming Britain could have to pay as much as 100billion as a potential divorce settlement.

Mrs May alleged the European Commission had sought to influence the snap General Election called weeks before.

She said: The European Commission's negotiating stance has hardened. Threats against Britain have been issued by European politicians and officials.

All of these have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the General Election.

The artwork is only a short crossing from Calais where Banksy sent a host of exhibits from his Dismaland project in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, to be used as shelters for migrants.

He also stencilled several other pieces inspired by the Jungle migrant camp in France, which has since been dismantled.

In January 2016, a mural depicting Apple Founder Steve Jobs, whose biological father was a Syrian immigrant, appeared on the wall of a tunnel in the refugee camp.

The anonymous artist also criticised the use of teargas in the camp with a piece on the side of the French embassy in London.

It shows a young girl from the film and musical Les Miserables with tears in her eyes as CS gas surrounds her.

Another Calais-inspired artwork by Banksy portrayed a child looking towards Britain while a vulture sits atop their telescope.
