A top bookie has drawn up prank plans to protect the British summer of sport from dangerous protesters – by sending demonstrators up in a hot air balloon.
With the Grand National and the World Snooker Championships being targeted by campaign groups recently, Paddy Power is hoping to warn them off by deploying P.E.S.T – the Protestor Exit Support Team.
The team will evacuate campaigners, and transport them away from Royal Ascot in a hot air balloon in the shape of a pair of pants – allowing spectators in the stands and at home to enjoy the action uninterrupted.
