Sadiq Khan 'Beach Body Ready' Blimp to Fly In London On September 1st!
Government officials are already trying to stop it from flying!
Yanny Bruere, 28, unveiled his hilarious crowdfunded Sadiq Khan blimp on Wednesday which features the Muslim mayor in a yellow bikini similar to the “Beach Body Ready” advert he had banned.
He was accused of putting a dampener on Donald Trump’s visit to London last month by allowing a giant balloon of him dressed in a nappy to fly over the capital.
But now Sadiq Khan is to face his own humiliation as protesters prepare to launch an inflatable showing the London mayor dressed in a bright-yellow bikini.
Organisers raised more than £58,000 online to pay for the blimp of Mr Khan following the furore over the 20ft balloon, dubbed ‘Trump Baby’, which was granted permission to rise above Parliament Square during the US President’s visit last month.
The inflatable depicting a bikini-clad Mr Khan, which is slightly larger than its rival at 29ft, will be flown in the same Westminster location on Saturday morning.
Yanny Bruere, the 28-year-old marketing manager behind the effigy, said he had been angered by the Mayor’s focus on political point scoring instead of dealing with soaring crime.
He said: ‘I was just so irritated that Mr Khan took it upon himself to speak on behalf of the UK over the President’s visit.
‘Whatever anyone thinks of Mr Trump, he is still leader of the free world and should be accorded the respect of that position, especially at such a critical time for the UK as we face separation from the EU.
‘It feels like the Mayor of London prioritises personal enmity over the good of the country.’
It’s OFFICIAL. The balloon WILL fly. Saturday 09:30am at Parliament Square.

“The EXACT same park that allowed Trump Baby balloon to have a trial run have DENIED the Khan balloon the same courtesy,” Yanny Bruere said last week on Twitter. “The park is a public taxpayer funded space. Why is it OK for Pres Trump to fly there, but not our balloon?”
