London Film Festival: Feminist protesters storm Suffragette premiere
Feminist protesters stormed the premiere of new British movie Suffragette at the London Film Festival, calling for greater support for victims of domestic violence. Members of campaign group Sisters Uncut set off smoke bombs and flares as they broke through the barriers and rushed the film's premiere in Leicester Square. Chanting "dead women can't vote", they proceeded to take part in a "die-in" protest, in which they simulated being dead by lying down alongside one another on the red carpet.
Suffragette is the first big screen adaptation of the fight by British women for the right to vote in the early 20th century. The disruption caused by the protests caused the screening to be delayed, but eventually the film's stars including Carey Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Helena Bonham Carter arrived on the red carpet.
I loved your choice of sunday news post especially as we had just been to see the film! Everything looks superb apart from the fact that you don't include your opinion which is necessary in your sunday news post but other than that just truly fabulous
