Bray, known as Stop Brexit Man, was found not guilty of failing to comply with a police direction regarding protest activities in Parliament Square. The court's verdict highlighted the legitimacy of his protest rights, specifically regarding the use of music during demonstrations. Bray had played tunes, including themes from The Muppets and Star Wars, as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrived for questions. He argued that the police's maps were incorrect, asserting that his actions were done to exercise his freedom of expression in protests.
Bray insisted that using his speakers was a part of his fundamental right to protest, arguing that the map provided by police was incorrect.
The activist stated, "Playing music for Rishi Sunak is what we've always done; it’s part of our protest routine, like the Muppets and Darth Vader themes."
