Chesterfield campaign bus message slammed as 'crass' and 'gross'
Up to 700,000 people, who are wanting a referendum on the final Brexit vote, attended a protest in Parliament Square on Saturday.
One bus, believed to have set off from Chesterfield, was pictured displaying a message saying: "UK now in so much trouble government appointed Suicide Minister! Don't top yourself...Demand a People's Vote."

Mr Rowley said: "As one of Chesterfield's MPs, I can tell you that this bus doesn't speak for my hometown on either the crass statement or the request for a second vote."
Other people also commented on the picture, describing it as 'gross', 'disgusting' and 'shocking'.
A spokesperson for the People's Vote UK said that the banner 'was nothing to do with us', was not approved or authorised by the campaign and described it as 'totally inappropriate'.
