The surprising heroes of resistance. The Portland Frog is now written into the history books.
They inspired more costumed resistance to show up.
I love this for them.
Peaceful protest of a serious issue with humour injected into it.
The right bring guns.

King of England on sovereign Scots passports, doesn’t sound right 🤔. We all know that Charlie’s III is head of state of United Kingdom but that’s not a country and he ain’t king of Scots. unlike in England where the people are subjects & Scotland sovereignty is held by people and always will be.
