What a great protest design! 🔥
🚨BREAKING: Activists have imprisoned DANGEROUS TERRORISTS Mandela, Gandhi, and Millicent Fawcett statues in Parliament Square.
They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.
The heroes the government celebrates would be imprisoned today under their extreme laws.
