We Brits might be rubbish at a lot of things, but protesting is one thing we've got down to a fine art.

Especially when it comes to infusing that signature British wit into our protest materials. Take this Trump Dalek, for instance.

The Dalek was seen whizzing through Westminster — the centre of UK politics — flanked by "secret service agents" just as Trump was arriving in the UK on Thursday.

ICYMI, Daleks are "one of the most feared races in the universe" in Doctor Who and these pesky creatures are hellbent on "destroying all human life."

The Trump Dalek in Westminster came dressed in a little blonde toupée with a red tie.

ITV reporter Tom Barton captured footage of the little fella zooming across Westminster Bridge.

Turns out there was a human inside the Dalek costume. Environmental activist Al Binnie-Lubbock

"They will destroy your planet one climate agreement at a time," Binnie-Libbock tweeted.
