Description
The placard reads 'B*ll*x t* Brexit fr*m Y*rkshire' with each 'o' benig represented by a Yorkshire rose (here represented as an asterisk). The first three words are surrounded by yellow stars to represent the European Union flag. The placard is made from paper applied to card, and is mounted on a wooden frame, and is covered in plastic sheeting. On the wooden handle are two stickers, reading 'I demand a vote on the final Brexit deal'.
The placard was created for and carried in the People's Vote march in London, 20 October 2018, when hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in London to demand a vote on the final 'Brexit' deal. Many people attended the march as a way to protest the UK leaving the European Union (known as 'Brexit').
