Comedian Dom Joly Protests U.K. Illegal Migration Bill Dressed as Mickey Mouse: ‘Children Are Innocent’
Ellise Shafer Comedian Dom Joly dressed as Mickey Mouse on Monday morning to lead a protest outside the U.K. Parliament against the government’s Illegal Migration Bill. According to the government, the proposed law would make it so “those who arrive in the U.K. illegally will not be able to stay here and will instead be detained and then promptly removed, either to their home country or a safe third country.” Joly, who is an ambassador for the charity Save the Children, has concerns about how the bill could affect child refugees. According to The Guardian, earlier this month immigration minister Robert Jenrick had murals of Mickey Mouse and other cartoons painted over at an asylum center in Kent — hence why Joly came dressed as the iconic Disney mascot.
