Two anti-Brexit campaigners have claimed they were pulled over on the M25 and told by police to remove a sticker from their car.

Passenger Peter Cook posted a video to Twitter claiming that Essex Police had “bullied” the campaigners into removing a “Bollocks to Brexit” slogan on the motorway near Brentwood on Sunday afternoon.

Mr Cook told the BBC: “He said it [the slogan] was a public order offence, he insisted we remove the signage on the hard shoulder of the M25.”

Posting a video of the incident on social media, the campaign group said: “Essex Police bullied us into removing “Bollocks” from our car… I am calling the Police Complaints Commission.”

An Essex Police spokeswoman said: “We are trying to identify the officer from the video footage to establish the circumstances around what happened.

“In the meantime, we would encourage the driver to get in touch with us.”

The Independent Office for Police Conduct did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
