Youth Demand activist levels vile ‘soiled protest’ at PM’s mansion

A Youth Demand activist wearing an ‘Eat s*** Rishi’ shirt has staged a vile ‘dirty protest’ at the Prime Minister’s £2million mansion in Yorkshire in a major security breach.

Oliver, a 21-year-old student protester from Manchester, appeared to carry out a disgusting act at Mr Sunak’s Grade-II listed Georgian manor house in Richmond, North Yorkshire, on Tuesday afternoon.

The property, which was built in 1826, was purchased by Mr Sunak after he became the Conservative MP for the Richmond constituency in 2015. 

Oliver was filmed walking through a garden gate wearing wellies and a yellow coat, before taking it off to reveal the ‘Eat s*** Rishi’ shirt as he waded into the lake  and squatted down.

Youth Demand, who uploaded the footage to social media in an attempt to go viral, said that four people were detained by police after they targeted the mansion in the picturesque village of Kirby Sigston at around 12.50pm.

The protest group, who describe themselves as ‘a youth resistance campaign fighting for an end to genocide’, said the ‘political system is broken’ and called for activists to join them for a week of action in London from July 13.

In a puerile press release, they made cringe-inducing jokes about ‘making a splash’ at the Prime Minister’s property and the Government leaving the country ‘up s*** creek’. 

They also released photographs of Oliver being caught by a police officer. 

The horrific stunt comes just nine days before the July 4 general election, which Mr Sunak is in the midst of campaigning for.

It marks another concerning security breach at Mr Sunak’s home, which was targeted less than a year go by four Greenpeace protesters who climbed the property and draped it with black banners while the PM was away on a family holiday. 

Just last week, three Youth Demand protesters were found guilty of public order offences after a demonstration outside the home of Rishi’s rival, Sir Keir Starmer.

Leonorah Ward, 21, Zosia Lewis, 23, and Daniel Formentin, 24, were found guilty of offences under Section 42 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 and breaching court bail at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The activists hung a banner outside the Labour leader’s London house that read: ‘Starmer stop the killing’, surrounded by red hand prints, while rows of children’s shoes were laid in front of the door on April 9.

Lady Starmer had just returned from a shopping trip with her son when they spotted the protesters, the court heard.

She drove around the corner before contacting Sir Keir’s office because she ‘didn’t want to stop and be obvious’, she told the court.

Section 42 powers cover the harassment of a person at their home address if an officer suspects it is causing alarm or distress to the occupant.

The protesters were handed a six week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. They were also prohibited from entering the London postal district of NW5 for any reason at all.

They were also ordered to pay £200 towards prosecution costs and a victim surcharge of £154 each.

North Yorkshire Police were contacted for comment about Tuesday’s vile stunt. 

Four Greenpeace activists are still awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to causing criminal damage to the roof of the Prime Minister’s mansion during an anti-oil protest last year.

In March, Amy Rugg-Easey, 33, Alexandra Wilson, 32, and Michael Grant, 64, appeared at York Magistrates’ Court over the demonstration which saw black sheets and ‘No new oil’ banners draped over Rishi Sunak’s house in Kirby Sigston, North Yorkshire, on August 3.

A fourth protester, Mathieu Soete, 38, appeared via videolink for the hearing.

The four defendants denied the charge of damaging roof slates to a value of less than £5,000.

At the time of the protest, Greenpeace said that no damage was caused to the property and they had chosen to carry it out when the Prime Minister and his family were on holiday in California.

District Judge Adrian Lower set a date of July 23 for the start of the two-day trial.
