An important piece of social history, one of the campaigning posters by none other than Mr Brexit, signed by Steve Bray.
Steven Bray is a British activist from Port Talbot in South Wales who, in 2018 and 2019, made daily protests against Brexit in College Green, Westminster. He is variously known as Stop Brexit Man, Mr Stop Brexit or the Stop Brexit guy.
He was often heard during TV broadcasts from College Green at Westminster shouting anti-Brexit statements or seen quietly walking into the background of live TV interviews, wearing a colourful blue outfit and carrying placards with a simple 'Stop Brexit' or anti-government message.[7][8] Since Brexit, he protests against the incumbent Conservative government more generally.
British broadcaster ITV has referred to him as a notable figure, both for the length of his continuing protest and for the technique he used to disrupt multi-camera interviews. The Huffington Post described him as the "ultimate Brexit protester", while Labour MP Ben Bradshaw has called him an international celebrity.
