A stunning visual showcase of Led By Donkeys' artistic acts of resistance against years of
inept corrupt and venal rule in Britain. From being chased out of a luxury yacht club after
rebranding Baroness Michelle Mone's sailing boat to turning the road outside the Russian
embassy into the world's biggest Ukrainian flag to breaking the law to create a people-led
memorial to those lost to Covid Led By Donkeys takes the reader on an adrenalised journey into
art activism and accountability. The book tracks the major moments from 2019 to 2024 when the
guerilla political accountability collective Led By Donkeys' activism captured the public mood
with high-profile interventions. Taken chronologically the book covers (amongst other things)
the Covid crisis of 2020 Boris Johnson's battles 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.
Over 200 images are accompanied by punchy texts that tell the stories behind their public acts
and take the reader behind the scenes while exploring the design process adopted by the
collective through their adventures in installation. The photographs that sit at the centre of
this book are shot from helicopters and drones from iPhones and hidden cameras
behind-the-scenes they include images from footage seized then returned by the police and
shots from the work of some of Britain's best photographers. Added to this are contextual
documents - the maps plans and sketches that form the planning backdrop to the events as well
as the outcomes - 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.
