In 1929, King George V was sent to the seaside resort of Bognor to recuperate from lung surgery. Clearly unimpressed with the town, he was later quoted as saying "Bugger Bognor", in response to a mooted return visit.

We reappropriated the quote for current times, with a George V penny offering some 'quiet, balanced advice' in comic-style lettering. We imagined the poster as an advert for an as-yet-unmade British theatre farce.

We made a bundle of placards and took them to the People's Vote march in Oct 2018 and the Put it to the People march in March 2019 where they proved popular with people such as Jarvis Cocker (have a look here). Some also found their way onto walls about town where they became part of the Brexit conversation.

In March 2019, the work was featured in Take Back Control, an exhibition of Brexit-related art and newspapers at The Crypt Gallery, London.

In October 2020, the work featured in Complex States: Art in the Years of Brexit, a global exhibition featuring 30 artists, venues worldwide and a cutting edge online AR platform.
