Anti-Brexit campaigners Led by Donkeys are putting up a new set of billboards, and this time they’ve decided to use them to ‘release’ Nigel Farage’s party’s manifesto.

Farage announced at a campaign event that he would not publish any sort of manifesto until after the EU elections.

The first billboard in Coventry has mimicked The Brexit Party’s branding and highlighted Nigel Farage’s documented position on the NHS, quoting a speech he gave saying “we need to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare”.

They’ve also posted a clip of some of the speech on Twitter, adding the comment: “A vote for The Brexit Party is a vote against the NHS”.

In the clip, Farage adds: “Frankly, I would feel more comfortable that my money would return value if I was able to do that through the marketplace of an insurance company.”

Further billboards remind voters that Nigel Farage has in the past condemned increased maternity pay and of Anne Widdecombe’s well-documented position on homosexuality.

The campaigners came to national attention after they started covering billboards with politicians’ and Brexiteers’ words on Brexit – which often contradict their current positions – rendered as tweets.
