The Reform UK rally in Birmingham took a very unexpected turn on Friday night. As the party kicked off its local election campaign, a group of political activists – Led by Donkeys – took over the giant screen at the event. And the images they chose to project? None other than Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage.
😳 A Bold Statement
The crowd was greeted with a huge image of Putin and Farage on the big screen, with the cheeky caption: “Vladimir and Nigel welcome you to Birmingham.” It was a moment that no one saw coming and left many scratching their heads.
But that wasn’t all. Alongside the images of the two political figures, the screen also displayed mini lettuces with a playful jab at Farage. The message? It claimed that Farage “loved” Liz Truss’s mini-budget.
👀 A Stunt for the Ages
Led by Donkeys is known for their satirical stunts, but this one was certainly a standout. By hijacking the Reform UK rally, they aimed to make a bold statement about the party’s connections and its political leaders. Whether or not Reform UK supporters found it amusing, it certainly got the crowd’s attention.
As the event went on, the projection quickly became the talk of the night. Reform UK’s election campaign may have started, but it was this unexpected protest that left a lasting impression.
