"We've done, I reckon, 25 or 30 projections since we've been going. Often the police come along and we have a chat to them, and they even have a laugh with us and occasionally tell us to not do it," they told the publication. "But no one's ever been arrested before, so it is ridiculous that four of our guys have been arrested for malicious communications."
"Forgive the cliche, but it is rather Orwellian for a piece of journalism, which raises questions about our guest's relationship with America's most notorious child sex trafficker to lead to arrests. We're constantly told, you know, we need to see peaceful protests. Well, here's a peaceful protest...we projected a piece of journalism on to a wall and now people have been arrested for malicious communications. I think that, frankly, says a lot more about the policing of Trump's visit than it does about what we did."
Images of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto Windsor Castle walls as the UK prepared for Trump's state visit. Police said officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and arrested four people on suspicion of malicious communications. Activist group Led By Donkeys said this was the first time members had been arrested for a projection and described prior interactions with police as informal and friendly. The group called the arrests ridiculous and rather Orwellian, arguing that projecting journalism that raised questions about a guest's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was a peaceful protest. The stunt followed a House Oversight Committee release of additional Epstein files, including material compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell.
