The famous Ritz London Hotel in London has made headlines due to an unusual protest. Three protesters, who identify themselves as members of a "non-violent civil resistance group" called Take Back Action, poured bags of fertilizer under the hotel's Christmas tree.
The famous Ritz Hotel in London was the scene of a surprising action this time. Activists protesting wealth inequality dumped bags of fertilizer under the hotel's Christmas tree, sending the message, "It's not the luxury of the super-rich, but social justice that matters." The group, which drew attention with its banners and unusual methods, called on the government for "higher taxes on the rich."
In the footage, it can be seen that the protesters entered the hotel lobby with three suitcases, and as they approached the Christmas tree, they opened the zippers of their bags and emptied the piles of fertilizer onto the floor.
STAFF INTERVENED
After the action, hotel staff quickly intervened and removed the protesters from the lobby.
After the incident, activists were seen again in front of the building, carrying placards that read, "Inequality is nonsense" and "Tax the rich."
POLICE LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION
The Metropolitan Police confirmed to PEOPLE that they received a report of "criminal damage" from the hotel in the Mayfair–Piccadilly area. Authorities stated that "a large amount of horse manure" was dumped in the lobby.
So far, there have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.
