POLITICAL campaign group ‘Led By Donkeys’ has released a new poster on a Swindon billboard.
Established in 2018, the anti-Brexit group has mainly published past tweets of politicians which according to the activists have not stood the test of time.
Their latest stunt in the Rodbourne area of Swindon - between Bruce Street Bridges and Aldi - depicts the last five Conservative Prime Ministers with the words ‘Nothing Changes’ underneath.
Labour group leader Jim Robbins - who is he ward councillor for the area - said that he was "pleased to see" the billboard and that it was "hard to disagree".
Cllr Robbins said the country had experienced "twelve years of decline under the Conservatives".
This comes just days after residents marched through the town centre to protest against the current political climate and demand a general election in order to remove the Conservatives from power.
Initially, the rebel operation put posters over existing adverts, but since then they have expanded into a crowdfunded campaign that legitimately purchases advertising space on hundreds of advertising boards across the UK.
Pleased to see a @ByDonkeys poster in the wild in Rodbourne.

They have also staged real-life stunts, including projecting messages on iconic places such as the Houses of Parliament and the White Cliffs of Dover with giant messages on beaches and fields.
