About the Book

Five years of lies and hypocrisy. Four activists holding power to account. One book showing how they did it – and why they're not done yet. 'Not funny' Liz Truss ‘Led by Donkeys are diametrically opposed to our client’s aims’ Lawyers for Nigel Farage ‘There to embarrass us’ Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng ‘Hard left organisation’ GB News Led By Donkeys are political artists and activists. This book is an adrenalized journey through five years of resistance against the ineptitudes, corruption and greed committed by those in power in Britain. Their works include: * Rebranding disgraced Tory peer Michelle Mone’s yacht as the ‘Pandemic Profiteer’ * Painting the road outside the Russian embassy, Ukrainian blue and yellow * Creating the iconic National Covid Memorial Wall in London * Exposing politicians’ hypocrisies by printing their tweets and comments on billboards * Projecting public sentiment on to the Palace of Westminster, the cliffs of Dover and more The book tracks the major moments from 2019 to 2024 when Led By Donkeys’ activism captured the public mood with high-profile interventions. Within its pages (amongst other things): the Covid crisis of 2020; Boris Johnson’s struggles with truth and decency; Liz Truss’s battles with maths and markets; the climate crisis we are sleepwalking into; burgeoning corruption in Westminster; the war in Ukraine; a crashed economy; the cost-of-living crisis and much more. And they’re not done yet: a new government means new policies, new vulnerabilities, new areas of accountability. And with the Reform party on the rise, this is no time to be complacent… Shot from helicopters and drones, from iPhones and hidden cameras, here are over 200 images and text taking you behind the scenes, including footage seized then returned by the police, professional photography, maps, plans, designs and sketches, and of course the results – newspaper front pages, media response and public reaction. Taken together, they tell the story of an extraordinary time and tactics to hold the powerful to account.

About the Author :
Led By Donkeys was founded in early 2019 when four friends, motivated by the thermonuclear hypocrisy of our political overlords, started going out at night to paste up guerrilla billboards of the leading Brexiters' historic tweets. The 18 square metre posters were a phenomenon. With its social media following exploding, Led By Donkeys was suddenly reaching millions of people with every intervention and have continued their work addressing everything from the Covid crisis to corruption in Westminster. Led By Donkeys has mixed art and activism to create some of the most memorable images of our political age.
