A protester in France has decided to vent his anger at politicians by dumping a lorry load of horse sh*t outside the Bourbon Palace.

It’s not yet clear as to what exactly the protester was hoping to achieve by dumping a lorry load of sh*t onto the Bourbon Palace’s doorstep – the country’s national parliament building – but it’s sure to start a sh*tstorm among French politicians tomorrow.

The incident occurred earlier today and according to reports the protestor had a message scrawled across the side of his truck saying: “Out with Hollande and the entire political class. Long live the Sixth Republic.”

According to Time.com, “President Francois Hollande, who is presently embroiled in a love affair scandal, is the least popular leader in the modern-day history of France”.

It certainly brings new meaning to the phrase, ‘I’m having a sh*t day’…
