This protest against Priti Patel at a Tory dinner just gets better and better

Spare a thought for home secretary Priti Patel – only kidding – whose speech at a Conservative party ‘spring dinner’ was disrupted by activists protesting against government plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Just when you think it can’t get any more satisfying, it does. Again and again.

The protesters were eight social justice and climate campaigners from Green New Deal Rising, reported the Guardian.

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it after the clip went viral on Reddit.

‘Hahaha, never seen a whack-a-mole protest before.

‘I have to say, it’s a very efficient method of protesting.’

‘They should’ve spaced it out a bit more. Let them go for 10-15 seconds and have someone else stand.

‘Then just when they think they’re all gone, address it and continue speaking? Hit ‘em again.’

‘Some solid coordination haha.’

‘Moments later they were all bundled into Priti’s refugee catching van and sent to Rwanda.’
