Watch: Rishi Sunak Escorted By 'North Korean Style' Motorcade To Escape Extinction Rebellion

The cops were followed by a succession of cars and then officers on motorcycles. it's like a «colossal waste of police force.»

Others compared it to the moment when 12 bodyguards in suits ran in formation next to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's car as he left a meeting with his South Korean counterpart in 2018.

One Twitter user wrote: “Not necessarily. I can't see how this could be useful with the few cops we have.»

Another said, «This escort looks like something from North Korea, but with less trained and less handsome bodyguards.

Another added: “The difference between North Korea and Rishi Sunak's regime? Around 20 BMI.» A third said: «It looks like a tribute to Pyongyang on the day of the military parade.»
