The battlebus used by the Leave campaign during the Brexit referendum has been snapped up by Greenpeace, which plans to use it to ask the British government questions about its environmental policies.
The bus, which drove Boris Johnson and other leading Brexiteers around the country, was highly controversial as it claimed that the U.K. sends £350 million a week to the EU. That figure was always hotly debated and was disowned by prominent Leave campaigners, including Nigel Farage, after the referendum.
Greenpeace on Monday parked the double-decker bus outside parliament, saying it was “covering up the bold-faced lie” with “messages of hope.”
