A giant balloon depicting London mayor Sadiq Khan dressed in a bikini will fly over Parliament Square this weekend. Organisers have raised more than $75,500 for the 29ft blimp as part of a campaign seeking to remove Mr Khan from his post.
Protest organizer Yanny Bruere, who describes himself as a British free speech advocate, said he had set up the crowdfunding campaign in response to London authorities' decision to allow a "Trump Baby" blimp to be flown during last month's visit to Britain by US President Donald Trump.

The Crowdfunder page posted by Bruere said: "In light of the Donald Trump 'Baby Trump' ballon being allowed to fly over London during his visit to the U.K., let's get a 'baby Khan' one and see if FREE SPEECH applies to all and whether or not Mr Khan and the London assembly will also approve this.
"Under Sadiq Khan, we have seen crime sky rocket to unprecedented levels. People in London don't feel safe and they aren't safe... Khan Out."
Bruere added that any surplus money raised would "be used for a continuing campaign to remove Sadiq Khan from office and also for defending free speech."
