Activists dumped bags of manure under The Ritz’ Christmas tree in protest against the “obscenely wealthy”. Footage shared by new protest group Take Back Power on Wednesday (3 December) shows three protesters loitering in the Mayfair hotel’s lobby before they pulled out plastic bags filled with dung and emptied their contents on the floor. The guards then rushed in to pull the protesters away. The activists also protested outside the hotel, unfurling banners which read 'Inequality is s***”. Take Back Power says it’s a new “non-violent civil resistance group” which is calling for the government to “tax extreme wealth”.,

    I’m sure the bougies were very annoyed to have their underpayed staff clean it up

    So then the poor laborers working there have to clean up manure? Not the brightest idea.

      “We can’t do protest because the ultra-wealthy pay the working class to clean it up. I am very enlightened.”

      The rich will absolutely get the message. If you always insist on being polite, you’ll achieve nothing. The corporate media are very hard at work to paint any protest that’s not timidly compliant as terrorism. We need to counter that narrative.

          Yes, yes they wouldn’t, and they will starve to death. In order for a strike to work, a union should be established, that feeds striking workers. But establishing union is hars, while writing snaking comments on the Internet is free and satisfying

        Doesn’t have to be cow shit tho. There’s no foresight or empathy. You’re just making these poor laborers clean up after your protest that does nothing except make you feel good about yourself thinking you’re modern day Rosa Parks.
