MOT/2024/TKDB/027
Tag To sneak into the LGB Alliance conference 2024 I went on a charity shop trawl with my friend and channelled my 14 year old self/a devout Christian in a cult. I taped 3 bags full of 1,000 crickets to my legs in St. James Park and pretended to have a stoma bag so we could get through the airport style security and a guard walked a friend and I to the accessible bathroom so we could transfer them to our bags ready to release in the QEII centre to stop Jamie Reed speaking.
