PIC: A Father Ted protest sign makes an appearance at protests in Iceland

Carl Kinsella

Have you heard all about the Panama Papers controversy?

Several of the world’s leaders have been implicated in a huge data leak that has revealed the offshore savings accounts held by the mega-rich.

One of those who has been named as having a large amount of money offshore is the former Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur Gunnlaugsson, who resigned this evening after widespread protests.

Surprisingly, the famous ‘Down With This Sort Of Thing’ placard from Father Ted made an inexplicable appearance at the demonstrations, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Strangely enough there was nobody to join him with a ‘Careful now’ sign, but they got the job done all the same.
