FIRST the Tory-run county council said the ‘Brexit – is it worth it?’ bus was too party political to park on the public highway. Then they admitted that was nonsense.

Next the county claimed parking the bus for half an hour would cause congestion in Broad Street. Really, in ‘Broad’ Street? The clue is in the name. There is plenty of room.

Finally the Labour-run city council gave permission for the bus to park in the city-owned Bonn Square. The message, ‘Brexit to cost £2,000m a week’, was plain for all to see.

We need as much debate as possible from all sides about Britain’s future relationship with the rest of Europe. The anti-free speech county should hang its head in shame.
