Brexit: Steve Bray vows to carry on ‘Mr Stop Brexit’ protest Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A man who uprooted his life to protest against Brexit has vowed to carry on protesting outside Parliament. Steve Bray, from Port Talbot, has become known as “Mr Stop Brexit” for his divisive hollering in Westminster. He said he was prepared for the “longest protest ever” and would “not give up” until the UK rejoined the European Union. Supporters of Brexit celebrated the moment the UK left the EU with a party in Parliament Square on Friday. In the 2016 referendum, 52% of UK voters backed the Leave campaign. But grandfather Mr Bray has protested outside Parliament every day MPs have sat since 5 September 2017 – and has become something of a tourist attraction in his own right. The 50-year-old has interrupted live broadcasts with his shouts of “stop Brexit”, and gate-crashed interviews with placards.

The self-employed rare coin dealer has vowed to remain outside Parliament for as long as it takes for the UK to rejoin – but only every Wednesday, when Prime Minister’s Questions is held. “It is not a question of if or when – we will join the EU. It could be 10 years, it could take 50 years, it could turn into one of the longest protests ever.” His interruption of Theresa May’s farewell speech with his “stop Brexit” cry led to her replying “I think not”, while her replacement as Prime Minister Boris Johnson told him to “put a sock in it”.

A crowdfunding campaign raised more than £70,000 for him and other protesters to rent a flat near Parliament. They moved there after living on the same street as pro-Brexit minister Jacob Rees-Mogg – who he said he bumped into “quite often”. Mr Bray said some of the hardest times were during the Beast from the East in 2018, when he said a member of the House of Lords came outside to give him a coat. “I’ve been spat at a few times, assaulted a few times, all very minor things. “It does take a toil, but the hatred drives me on more than the support,” he said. In his home county, Neath Port Talbot, 56.8% of people voted to leave during the poll in June 2016. Mr Bray stood in the Cynon Valley for the Liberal Democrats in the 2019 general election, but only secured 949 votes. “People just have different views,” he said. “We need the government to know we are not giving up and not going away”.

Book Novotel Hotel MP Nigel Adams filmed swearing at Mr Stop Brexit Steve Bray Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A minister has been filmed swearing at a veteran pro-EU campaigner who approached him outside the Houses of Parliament. Steve Bray, known as Mr Stop Brexit, uploaded the clip of his exchange with Foreign Office minister Nigel Adams. The footage shows Mr Adams give the four-letter response at least twice as Mr Bray attempts to question him. A spokesperson for the MP said his remarks “no doubt reflect those of many democratic representatives”. The video, shared on social media by Mr Bray, shows the pair talking in the street on Wednesday evening following the Commons vote on a tax increase to help fund health and social care. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 After questioning Mr Adams about the tax increase, the MP responds: “I’m really not interested in talking to an odd bloke with a top hat on chasing me down the street”. He then tells Mr Bray, from Port Talbot in Wales, to “talk to your own MP” and swears at him. The 52-year-old campaigner became a regular sight outside Parliament following the EU referendum, with Mr Bray repeatedly interrupting live TV broadcasts with his cries of “stop Brexit”. Speaking to BBC Radio York, he said: “You should be able to ask an MP a question without being told where to go. “This is at Parliament, it’s not as if I’m on his doorstep at his house, this is the seat of power – if you write to these MPs, half of them don’t reply. “I don’t harass MPs, I ask them questions and I like to think I’m speaking for other people who can’t be there to ask those questions.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s In a statement, a spokesperson for Selby and Ainsty MP Mr Adams said: “Mr Bray has spent the last few years harassing, following and hurling abuse at elected Parliamentarians as well as interrupting journalists, preventing some from doing their job of reporting the news and conducting interviews. “Mr Adams’ remarks no doubt reflect those of many democratic representatives trying to deliver on the will of the people and others seeking to go about their business who have been harassed or had their work disrupted by this individual and his handful of followers.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
