A Tale Of Two S**ties: UK Picks Up Slack After Postponed Paris Poo Protest

While plans for a poop protest in Paris have been pushed (pun intended), they're picking up the slack on the other side of the English Channel with several people getting arrested for turning the Prime Minister's garden into a "loo."

I can't help but feel like if he had written it today, Charles Dickens would've made this the plot of A Tale of Two Cities.

According to Metro, four people have been arrested after a video made the rounds on social media of a man wearing a vest that said "Eat s**t, Rishi" while ripping a deuce in a lake at UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's home in Kirby Sigston, North Yorkshire.

Four men were arrested in connection with the poo-test which was reportedly organized by a group called Youth Demand as a "parting gift" to the UK's current conservative government.

Man, rough day to be Rishi Sunak… I would also imagine it was a rough day to be a pool skimmer at his house too.

Ironically, in a protest organized by "Youth Demand," the men arrested on suspicion of aggravated trespassing ranged in age from 20 to 52. 

I don't know what has happened, but protest defecations are having a moment right now. A veritable renaissance of fecal disobedience. I have no clue why that is, but it's the next big thing in protesting. 

Throwing soup at paintings? That is soooo last year.

If you're out on the town and see a bunch of people wearing "STOP BIG OIL" or "NO GOLF ON A DEAD PLANET" T-shirts housing copious amounts of Taco Bell or some gas station sushi, then you'll immediately know that something is about to go down.

This comes not long after the Paris Seine poo protest ahead of the Olympics was scrapped. That was intended to "send a message" to French President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo who had planned on taking a dip in the river to show how clean it was.

They have since changed their mind, which is a reasonable decision.
