Please Don't Go: #HugABrit by Please Don't Go

Designed to convince Britons to stay in the Union ahead of the EU referendum, #HugABrit is part of a wider 'Please Don't Go' campaign founded by Katrin Lock, a German woman living in London.

The group, which describes itself as "a pro-European grassroots movement of EU citizens living in the United Kingdom," is asking followers to share a hug and tweet it using the hashtag #HugABrit in the hope that showering UK citizens with love will encourage them to vote 'Remain' in June.

Celebrities, such as Pulp frontman Jarvis cocker have been getting involved in the drive, while many of the other messages posted across Twitter and Instagram contain emotive messages targeting undecided voters.
