Youth Demand Take a Dump in Rishi Sunak’s Lake

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespassing after breaking into Rishi Sunak's £2,000,000 mansion and taking a dump in his garden.

An activist wearing a vest which read 'eat s***' Rishi' defecated in the lake at Rishi Sunak's constituency home in Kirby Sigston, North Yorkshire, and uploaded the footage to social media.

Youth Demand, who organised the protest, said the defecation was a 'parting gift' to the Conservative government.

Police said they had arrested four men in connection with the incident, including one 52-year-old from London, one 43-year-old from Bolton, one 21-year-old from Manchester, and one 20-year-old from Chichester.

The group, who describe themselves as 'a youth resistance campaign fighting for an end to genocide', said the 'political system is broken,' have called on fellow activists to join them for a week of civil disobedience in the run-up to the General Election on July 4.

The person appears to be positioned near what looks like a garden entrance or gateway, surrounded by lush green foliage and landscaping.

On their website, the group said: 'As a thank you and a parting gift to Rishi Sunak and the Tories for the last 14 years of service, a Youth Demand supporter has "sunk the Bismarck" in Rishi Sunak's lake. Youth Demand is a campaign calling for a two-way arms embargo on Israel and for the incoming UK government to revoke all new oil and gas licences granted since 2021.'

Before performing the deed, activist Oliver, 21, said: 'We have so much to thank the Tories for: from crumbling schools, s*** in the rivers and a collapsing NHS; to creating a nation with more food banks than McDonalds and 4.3 million UK children living in poverty. From allowing their mates to get filthy rich from selling weapons to battle-test on toddlers in Gaza, or by drilling for more oil as the world burns – it's quite a legacy!'
