A 29-foot-long (9 metres) balloon depicting London mayor Sadiq Khan in a yellow bikini was flown over London on Saturday by a group called ‘Make London Safe Again’.
A small crowd gathered at London’s Parliament Square to protest Sadiq Khan’s policy on street crime and to demand the repeal of the ‘stop and search’ ban.
According to the organiser of the event Yanny Bruere, the balloon of Sadiq Khan in bikini also aims at mocking his stance on political correctness in adverts.
“It’s obviously in reference to Sadiq Khan banning an advert on the London tube. Which was the ‘beach body ready’, so we thought it would be fitting tribute to Sadiq Khan to be flown above London in a yellow bikini,” Bruere said.
For the founder of ‘Friends of Trump UK’ Augustine Obodo this balloon serves as a “notice” to Sadiq Khan that they “prepared to vote him out”.
Over 58,000 pounds ($75,000) were raised by the group to create the blimp and fly it above London.
In July, anti-Trump activists flew a giant balloon depicting US President Donald Trump as a baby to protest his visit to London.
