Big Ben Protest Costs Taxpayers £67K
Description
A barefoot protest climber on Big Ben cost Britain £67,000 in security, shutdowns, and lost revenue—forcing police roadblocks, canceled tours, rerouted buses, and even mattresses at the base for safety. Daniel Day denies causing a public nuisance, but his 15-hour rooftop standoff halted thousands of Parliament visits, diverted emergency crews, and paralyzed nearby roads. The trial’s still ongoing, but the chaos—and the price tag—is already clear.
