Advertising the toxic product, the seller wrote: ‘Get this journal/notebook and put a smile on the face of anyone who is against Brexit, who voted Britain to stay, who don’t want Britain to leave the European Union!
‘This is a great notebook/journal for all anti-Brexit Remainers and Pro-Europeans, Anti Leave British supporters who want Britain to remain in the European Union.’
But angry customers called for the notepad to be removed from the website and the seller banned from Amazon.

Tensions heightened this week during a fiery Commons clash as numerous MPs urged Johnson to tone down his Brexit rhetoric as they suggested it was putting their lives at risk.
Speaker Mr Bercow pleaded with MPs on all sides to calm down as he said the atmosphere in the Commons was ‘worse than any I’ve known in my 22 years in the House’.
Meanwhile, Brendan Cox, murdered MP Jo Cox’s widower, said he felt ‘a bit sick’ after hearing Mr Johnson’s remarks and today he was asked how he believed his late wife might have responded.
He said: ‘She would have tried to take a generosity of spirit to it and thought about how in this moment you can step back from this growing inferno of rhetoric.’
