Four Protesters Arrested After One Pooped In Rishi Sunak’s Private Pond

A group called "Youth Demand" took credit for the splashy protest.

Four people were arrested Tuesday at British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s estate in northern England, one of whom entered the property to defecate in Sunak’s private lake as a form of political protest.

North Yorkshire Police confirmed that four men between the ages of 20 and 52 were arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespass, with “questioning and enquiries” ongoing.

A group called “Youth Demand” took credit for the splashy stunt, which it described as “a parting gift to Rishi Sunak and the Tories for the last 14 years of service.”

“From Number 10 to Number 2, let’s face it: [Sunak’s] done a shit job, and the Tories are facing an electoral wipe-out,” Youth Demand wrote in a press statement on its website, referring to the prime minister’s address at 10 Downing Street and then to the nature of the group’s latest protest.

Video that Youth Demand shared on social media begins with a man later identified as “Oliver” closing a gate on Sunak’s property and purposefully walking down a grassy embankment toward the multi-millionaire’s private lake.
