Theresa May's speech at the Conservative party conference was disrupted by a prankster waving a P45 at the prime minister on the podium before security guards tackled him.

Simon Brodkin, who sometimes performs as a character called Lee Nelson and famously showered the then Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, with fake banknotes, was dragged out of the hall pursued by journalists. "Boris told me to do it," he said, referring to the foreign secretary, Boris Johnson.

He was later arrested for breach of the peace, according to the prime minister's spokesperson.

For those of us that don't know what a P45 is:

"a P45 is the reference code of a form titled Details of employee leaving work. The term is used in British slang as a metonym for termination of employment. The equivalent slang term in the United States is pink slip."


I needed this laugh today! Makes you wonder how lax their security is though!

Oh, my apologies I hadn't even considered that this wasn't a universal thing. I will quote your explanation in the OP.
 
Arrested for breach of the peace for handing someone a form?
In the UK it is expressly forbidden to pass pieces of paper between citizens in halls housing over 256 people. If you're caught doing so you could get your left leg chopped off by the Queen. It's known locally as "Maggie's Sweeper", and was last actually carried out in 1998.

Don't forget the 2002 Church amendment, allowing for hymn sheets to be exempt.

Thanks. My first guess was that it was some kind of gun.
 
Ah I had forgotten about May as I was busy dealing with Trump's nonsense. Yeah May is a weak and it won't be long before she's pushed out.
