A man who climbed up Big Ben’s Elizabeth Tower carrying a Palestinian flag has now come down, after more than 16 hours.

The barefoot man made his way on to a ledge several metres up the tower at the Palace of Westminster on Saturday morning.

He had filmed his climb and said that he was protesting against “police repression and state violence”.

        Not dead, and frankly your comment coulda gone either way.

        In the future when you’re stepping razors like this you may want to add the /s so folks know your intent.
