‘Stop Brexit Man’ Steve Bray gets into a scrap at Tory conference

Fresh from mingling with Bully XL owners, ‘Stop Brexit Man’ Steve Bray has popped up again – this time at a conference fringe event asking ‘Can the Tories win?’. Mr S thinks he knows what Bray’s answer to that question might be.

During the event, Bray stood up to unveil his ‘Stop The Tories’ top. But before he could yell ‘BREXIT’, one of the crowd decided to take matters into his own hands. The delegate tackled Bray into the corner before attempting to wrestle him out of the room.

‘This is assault,’ screamed Bray as security rushed to intervene. ‘Losers!’ he bellowed as he was hustled from the room. ‘No, you’re the loser mate,’ retorted an elderly gentleman to delighted laughter. How very civilised…

It didn’t take long for Bray to recover and get back to his, er, rather depleted crowd of anti-Brexit campaigners. ‘If I was going nuts, restrain me,’ he said, recounting the incident to Mr S.
