This book reveals the journey of four activists challenging political corruption in Britain. Led By Donkeys highlights their creative resistance and ongoing commitment to accountability.
In Led By Donkeys, readers are taken on an engaging journey through five years of political activism in the UK. The book chronicles the impactful actions of four activists who have dedicated themselves to holding those in power accountable for their misdeeds. Through creative and often humorous methods, they challenge the status quo, exposing corruption and hypocrisy in a system that often seems unresponsive to the public's needs. Each chapter highlights significant moments from 2019 to 2024, illustrating how their efforts resonated with the public and influenced the political landscape.
The authors detail their innovative approaches, including the transformation of a yacht into the 'Pandemic Profiteer' and the poignant National Covid Memorial Wall. Their activism has not only captured headlines but also sparked conversations about pressing issues such as the climate crisis, economic challenges, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Led By Donkeys serves as a testament to the power of grassroots movements and the importance of civic engagement in a democratic society.
With over 200 images and firsthand accounts, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the strategies employed by these activists. From drone footage to police encounters, the visual narrative complements the text, providing a rich context for understanding their mission. As they continue their work, the authors remind us that the fight for accountability is far from over. Led By Donkeys is not just a chronicle of past events but a call to action for the future.
