LONDON - For the last two years, demonstrator Steve Bray has become known for his protests outside Westminster, shouting “Stop Brexit” at British lawmakers inside parliament and disrupting live news reports with his pro-European Union banners.
“I’m going to do everything I can, and I’m sure millions of other people will too. Whilst we are still in the European Union there is hope, albeit the odds are stacked against us. Rome was not built in a day.” “For me, Brexit is an absolute travesty for our nation because it’s like turkeys voting for Christmas,” said Bray, often referred to as “Mr Stop Brexit”.
In a victory speech, Johnson appeared to refer to Bray, saying: “I say respectfully to our stentorian friend in the blue 12-star hat: ‘Time to put a sock in the megaphone and give everybody some peace.’”“My response to Boris Johnson? ‘When you stop telling lies and start being honest with the British people, I’ll put a sock in it,” Bray said.
