Leo Murray, the co-creator of the blimp, said: “We’re trying to remind the president how unwelcome he is in this country.We’re also, in a light-hearted way, trying to articulate the strength of feeling against Donald Trump and his politics of hate. We want to put a smile on people’s faces as well as make a serious point.”
Among those taking part will be environmental activists, anti-racism campaigners and women’s rights protesters. Police will close the road directly outside Downing Street to protect the president and his family. The US president’s supporters said it was an insult to snub the leader of Britain’s closest ally. But the demonstrators have received tactical support from mayor of London Sadiq Khan, who has repeatedly clashed with the president and who gave permission to fly the blimp.
