A Margate-based design agency has launched a controversial anti-Brexit art installation.

Commissioned by Rob Yates, who lives in Margate's Arlington House, the installation hopes to add pressure for a second referendum and make people realise that 'the June 2016 referendum has resulted in a divided Britain and its implementation will have profound implications'.

The art piece simply says BLOCKBREX.IT across an entire flat's windows.

It leads people to a website where they can play a retro-style game in which visitors fire European ball-shape flags at block-head politicians who lead Brexit campaigns.

When the player has hit all the blocks, a message appears followed by another politician's face.

BRYL, the design agency responsible, said: "We took direct inspiration from the tower block to create something captivating and interactive.

"Something that would demand the attention to the subject matter in more of a fun and playful way than the typical political sloganeering."

Rob Yates, who considers himself an 'ultra remainer' added: "We may have voted for a Brexit journey, but we never voted on the destination.

"I want this art installation to make people think and realise that the conversation isn't over."
