6-meter "Baby Trump" to fly over London during US President's visit

London has a liability for flying objects more or less identified wandering in the air. In December 1976, it was the inflatable pig used to illustrate the cover of Pink Floyd's album Animals which had been the trunk – and had stolen into a farm in Kent. Forty years later, to promote an exhibition dedicated to the group, the Victoria and Albert Museum had also floated a pig over its walls (well attached this time).

This time it is a Baby Donald Trump Inflatable Diaper That Should Float Over London During US President's Visit Friday, July 13th. The activists behind the project, who define themselves as a "group of anti-fascist artists," even have the permission of Labor mayor Sadiq Khan, known for not carrying the American president in his heart. In the aftermath of an attack on London Bridge that left eight dead and 48 wounded, Donald Trump strongly criticized.

"It seems the mayor has regained his sense of humor"

"We did not get off to a good start with the mayor's office, who first told us that they They did not consider 'Trump Baby' as a legitimate protest, but thanks to a public support for our project, it seems that the town hall has regained its sense of humor, 'Trump Baby' will fly! " SkyNews one of the activists, Leo Murray.

Trump visits Britain on 13th July. But officials at City Hall have told us that #TrumpBaby is "not a protest". Apparently, he is "art".

With a crowdfunding campaign, the organizers have collected nearly 20,000 euros to be able to fly their "Trump Baby." Between 9:30 and 11:30 (local time) Friday, 13, this big orange balloon six meters high should float to 30 meters at above the small square in front of the Parliament, already known to welcome many banners and placards of militants.

"The mayor supports the right to demonstrate peacefully and understands that this can be done in many forms", reacted a spokesman Sadiq Khan quoted by Sky News.

Activists must now organize with the authorities governing the airspace to ensure the safety of all. In parallel, some 50,000 people according to the Evening Standard are expected to demonstrate against the coming of the American president in London.
