Findings reveals that several billboards made by Leave
Voters are beginning to emerge from different locations in the UK having
anti-Brexit posters such as: price hike, hate crime, violation of family rights
of EU citizens to mention but a few.
It was also revealed that campaign group stop the Silence
crowdfunded nearly £70,000 in just ten days to raise funds in their desperate
fight against a so-called ‘hard’ Brexit.
Black photographs highlighting four faces with their mouths enclosed
in duct tape have been erected in areas such as London, Bournemouth and Cardiff
over the past few days.
They read: “We did not vote for price hikes, hate crimes,
brutal Brexit, deal or no deal.
“The people are speaking, is parliament listening?”
Other posters in line to be put up list “losing our
families”, “leaving the single market”, “losing funding” and “losing our
rights” as some of the group’s objections to the EU exit.
The group is also planning to fund a bus to drive around
Westminster in a last ditch effort to try and encourage politicians ahead of
further votes on the brexit bill.
According to campaigner Liz Holmes, founder of Stop the
Silence: "The Government is ignoring millions of people who are worried
about the Brexit cliff-edge, however they voted in the referendum.
"Billboards are the obvious way to get concerns off
social media and literally onto the streets of the UK.
"We all want a good deal. We do not believe the
Government’s current ‘deal or no deal’ position will achieve that. It should be
country first, not Brexit first."
As a result of the success attained during their initial crowdfunder,
the group has now launched a second and already raised more than £7,000 of a
£35,000 target.
Writing on Facebook, the group said: "This campaign
encourages peers to listen to the people as it considers safeguards to
guarantee that the final deal will be in the best interests of the people.
"The campaign and group aim to influence the character
and quality of debate in Parliament over the next two years, in a way which
fully engages and involves the views of the entire electorate, much of which
has diverse expectations of the Brexit process.
"The campaign intends to emphasise the foundational
British values of open debate and tolerance, where ongoing democratic dialogue
must remain accessible, and available, to all of its citizens. “
