Dr Victoria Bateman, an Economics Fellow from the University of Cambridge, went completely naked to protest Brexit.
 
In a performance at the Cambridge Junction theatre last week, on the eve of the Parliamentary vote on Britain's exit from the European Union, Dr. Victoria Bateman carried out a naked protest as she argued that "Brexit leaves Britain naked".
 

 
During her naked protest, she argued that

"Britain has sold itself the emperor's new clothes. She explores how Brexit leaves the British economy exposed, how it has uncovered and fuelled dangerous anti-immigration sentiments, and how it has laid bare the failures of past policy - failures that mean that too many people believe they have nothing to lose from Brexit simply because they have nothing at all."

Victoria concluded with a warning: that Britain is changing direction, away from travelling the road that leads to a free and open society to instead travel a path that is nationalistic and unwelcoming.
 

 
She added that "In the dark times ahead, we must all keep on making the case for freedom - a freedom that goes beyond the individual nation state and that allows each and every one of us to make the most of our lives no matter where we are born."
Reacting to the Naked protest, Piers Morgan, who is very vocal about his opinions, shared the video and wrote:
 

This may just have turned me into a Brexiteer. ?

Professor goes completely naked again during radio interview to protest Brexit (video)






The professor who went naked days ago to protest Brexit (read here) has gone naked again during a Brexit radio interview.
Dr Victoria Bateman, an Economics Fellow from the University of Cambridge, appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme to talk about the advantages of the EU.
During her discussion with presenter John Humphrys, she took off her coat to reveal she was completely naked underneath.
She had the words ‘Brexit leaves Britain naked’ scrawled across her chest.
During her interview, she invited leave supporters to strip off and discuss Britain’s withdrawal from the EU.
She said:

I invite Jacob Rees-Mogg to do a naked debate with me and we will get to the roots of this issue.

 
She added:

Britain faces many, many problems right now from housing to the NHS, and the European Union is not the cause of those problems.

 
Dr Bateman said she decided to talk about Brexit with no clothes on to demonstrate that leaving the EU is the same as ‘the emperor’s new clothes’.
She told the programme:
 

I have myself written thousands of words looking at why Brexit is bad for Britain, but I thought it would be useful to reduce all of those words down, condense all of those words down to one powerful message.
Brexit is the emperor’s new clothes – that Britain has sold itself a project that cannot possibly deliver on what it promised.

 
The professor has previously generated debate online due to her numerous naked protests, both on Brexit and gender inequalities within economics.
