STEVE BRAY TOLD TO TURN OFF HIS MICROFONE AMPLIFIER #parliament

#westminster #stevebray #metpolic Steven Bray (born 26 June 1969)[1][2] 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,[3] Mr Stop Brexit[4] or the Stop Brexit guy.[5] 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.[6][7]

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.[6] The Huffington Post described him as the "ultimate Brexit protester,"[8] while Labour MP Ben Bradshaw has called him an international celebrity.[9][10] Bray won PMP Magazine's Person of the Year award for 2018.[11] In late 2020 he changed his trademark EU-blue outfit for a full Soviet-era Russian General's uniform, complete with medals,[12] as he called for the Government to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Bray was the unsuccessful Liberal Democrat candidate for the Cynon Valley constituency in the 2019 United Kingdom general election.[13][14][15][16]
