Dr. Victoria Bateman is the Cambridge professor getting naked in protest against Brexit. But she’s been exposing herself for ages! In fact, I spoke to her last year and asked her whether being naked is a good or bad thing.
Given the fact she says Brexit leaves Britain naked, I thought it was a fair question.
Her logic really doesn’t add up, and it seems to me that this lady just likes getting naked in front of people. Unfortunately for her, most of us don’t really appreciate it.
Victoria Bateman Naked protest on Brexit
She is known for her naked protest against the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit). She is an advocate of the recognition by economists of the economic value of the sex trade and the right of women to earn their living by prostitution. She posed nude for a life-size portrait by Anthony Connolly.
On 14 January 2019, Bateman delivered an hour-long lecture against Brexit at the Cambridge Junction while naked, then asked the audience to sign her body as a petition.

This is the NUDES! John Humphrys has shock of his life on Today show as anti-Brexit economist strips off in Radio 4 studio – then challenges Jacob Rees-Mogg to have naked debate with her

John Humphrys was given the shock of his life this morning as he interviewed a Cambridge University economist who suddenly stripped naked in the Radio 4 studio.
Dr Victoria Bateman, a fellow in economics at Gonville and Caius College, who regularly delivers lectures in the nude, surprised the veteran host when she disrobed and then challenged Jacob Rees-Mogg to a Brexit debate without any clothes on.
Humphrys, who said, startled, ‘oh, I see you’re naked’, told listeners that Dr Bateman had the words ‘Brexit Leaves Britain Naked’ painted across her body.
It is not known whether the BBC was aware that Dr Bateman had intended to strip during the interview which saw her arrive wearing a coat and then disrobe in front of an unsuspecting Humphrys.
Listeners claimed he clearly struggled on air while interviewing the married Dr Bateman – who described Brexit as Britain’s ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ moment.
During the terse five-minute interview, Humphrys accused the academic of undermining her argument by not wearing clothes as well as offending the sensibilities of the vast majority of the British public.
Dr Bateman was interviewed following an exchange on Twitter yesterday with Piers Morgan when she uploaded a video discussing women’s freedom and rights across the world while standing in the nude.Morgan retweeted her video calling her ‘ridiculous’, and urged her to ‘put some clothes on before you catch a cold.’
A source at the BBC said her appearance came following her response to negative comments telling her to cover up, and because her lecture on Brexit in January has caused such a stir.
The interview comes amid a wave of criticism of the flagship current affairs programme which has been accused of dumbing down since Sarah Sands became editor in 2017. During the interview with Humphrys, Dr Bateman explained the slogan across her body. She said: ‘It carries three important messages, and the first is that Brexit leaves Britain’s economy exposed.
‘The second is that Brexit has served to reveal some anti-immigrant sentiments of a kind that we should be very much worried about as a society, and finally, Brexit exposes past government failures. Government failures that left many people feeling they have nothing to lose from Brexit because they have nothing at all.’
Humphrys said those arguments have been made repeatedly by people wearing clothes and why Dr Bateman felt the need to remove hers.
She replied: ‘I have myself written thousands of words looking at why Brexit is bad for Britain.
‘But I thought it would be useful to reduce all of those words down, condense all of those words down to one powerful message.
‘Brexit is the Emperor’s New Clothes. Britain has sold itself a project that cannot possibly deliver what it promises.
‘Everytime we open our mouths to speak we are inviting people to listen to our views to listen to our opinions. I am completely comfortable with my own body. I view women’s bodies as one of the big battlegrounds we face today, and by engaging with society about women’s bodies, one of the things that shows is the way in which people are quick to judge women solely based on their bodies.’
Humphrys replied: ‘Do you think in 2019 that women are judged on their bodies?’
She said: ‘I do. All you have to do is look at the online response to a two-minute section of my naked lecture that I posted online in the last couple of days and you will see people firing back with comments of the kind ‘this woman is trashy because she has got her body on show’ or ‘this woman is stupid’.
Dr Bateman told Humphrys: ‘If we did respect that we’d still be living in days when women were covered from head-to-toe. Look at the suffragettes, they made some of the first moves to reveal their ankles and reveal their knees. So if we can dress who we want – and that includes in a state of undress that I am in today – why not?’Dr Bateman asked whether society viewed women’s bodies as shameful.
She continued: ‘For thousands of years, men have controlled what women can do with their bodies. Women’s bodies have been seen purely as things for sex and babies.
‘What is wrong with a modern day woman taking control of her body and using it to give voice to what is the most pressing political subject in Britain right now?’
‘I am doing this for the words written on my body. Brexit leaves Britain naked.’
At the end of the testy interview, Dr Bateman challenged a senior member of the European Research Group to discuss Britain’s EU exit with her.
She added: ‘I invite Jacob Rees Mogg to do a naked debate with me and we will get to the roots of this issue. The issue that Britain faces many, many problems right now from housing to the NHS and the European Union is not the cause of those problems.’
Dr Victoria Bateman is a fellow at Economics at Cambridge University. She delivers lectures on the harm she says that leaving the EU will have on the British economy. What makes her a little different, perhaps, is that she does so naked.
Dr Bateman appeared in the studio this morning with a message ‘Brexit leaves Britain naked’ across her body.
Host, John Humphrys confirmed to the audience that Dr Bateman was naked.
Dr Bateman said: ‘It carries three important messages, and the first is that Brexit leaves Britain’s economy exposed. The second is that Brexit has served to reveal some anti-immigrant sentiments of a kind that we should be very much worried about as a society, and finally, Brexit exposes past government failures. Government failures that left many people feeling they have nothing to lose from Brexit because they have nothing at all.’
Humphrys said those arguments have been made repeatedly by people wearing closes and why Dr Bateman felt the need to remove hers.

But I thought it would be useful to reduce all of those words down, condense all of those words down to one powerful message. Brexit is the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Humphrys suggested that society acted with a ‘degree of modesty’.
‘If we did respect that we’d still be living in days when women were covered from head-to-toe. Look at the suffragettes, they made some of the first moves to reveal their ankles and reveal their knees. So if we can dress who we want – and that includes in a state of undress that I am in today – why not?’
