Balloon poking fun at Mayor Sadiq Khan flies over London

[DAWN] Protesters seeking to oust London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Saturday launched a giant balloon over Parliament Square depicting him dressed in a yellow bikini.

Protesters believe Khan has failed to curtail street crime in London, and some wore T-shirts reading “Make London safe again.”

Organisers had created the blimp in a protest against Khan’s policies. It was meant as a rebuke to Khan, who backed protesters’ right to launch a giant balloon depicting US President Donald Trump as an angry baby during his July visit to Britain.

The stunt was staged by Yanny Bruere, who describes himself as a free speech advocate, and funded through nearly 60,000 pounds ($78,000) in donations on a crowdfunding website.

Prelaunch photo of the thing can be seen at the link provided here.
