A man who climbed up Big Ben’s Elizabeth Tower carrying a Palestinian flag has now come down, after more than 16 hours.
The barefoot man made his way on to a ledge several metres up the tower at the Palace of Westminster on Saturday morning.
He had filmed his climb and said that he was protesting against “police repression and state violence”.
Literally Hamas terrorism
Man: climbs tower and sits
Dumbass on the internet: Litterally terrorism.
The mental gymnastics is gold medal worthy.
Satire is dead
Israel killed it.
I’m surprised they didn’t carpet bomb him down.
How do you mean? The article doesn’t mention Hamas or an act of violence. The only one who got hurt is him when he cut his foot climbing. It doesn’t seem like it was “literally” anything but a peaceful protest, even if I imagine it’s illegal for lots of other reasons. (I don’t know UK law but I suspect climbing Big Ben isn’t legal.)
