Campaign group We Are Europe has claimed responsibility for the artwork.
“The referendum on June 23 is one of the biggest political decisions of our lifetime and we couldn’t stand by and watch it be dominated by political infighting, negative arguments and middle-aged trolls,” they said.

Former London mayor Mr Johnson is leading a campaign for Britain to leave the EU while US presidential hopeful Mr Trump believes the UK will also leave.
The Bristol mural is similar to the picture My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love, sometimes referred to as the Fraternal Kiss, a 1990 graffiti painting on the Berlin wall by Dmitri Vrubel.
It depicts Brezhnev and Honecker in a fraternal embrace, reproducing a photograph that captured the moment in 1979 during the 30th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the German Democratic Republic.
