Activists from a new protest group called Take Back Power have dumped bags of manure under The Ritz hotel's Christmas tree in London's Mayfair. The group claims the action was a protest against the 'obscenely wealthy'.
Footage shared by the group on Wednesday shows three protesters loitering in the hotel lobby before pulling out plastic bags filled with dung and emptying the contents on the floor. Hotel security guards then rushed in to pull the protesters away.
The activists also protested outside the hotel, unfurling banners that read 'Inequality is s***'. Take Back Power describes itself as a 'non-violent civil resistance group' calling for the government to 'tax extreme wealth'.
