A COMMON TREASURY

As the March 29 deadline looms and a stumbling United Kingdom lurches toward a “no-deal” exit from the European Union, Mark Wallinger’s new large-scale anti-Brexit posters have hit the streets of London, Manchester, Bristol, and Glasgow.

The poster’s text is by Gerrard Winstanley (1609–1676), founder of the True Levellers—an agrarian colony also known as the Diggers—during the English Civil War.
