Anti-Brexit march tomorrow WILL go ahead

This is hilarious. Remember Mark Reckless? He used to be one half of the Ukip double act in the HoC. He's now a member of the Welsh Assembly. Here he is, pleading for access to the Single Market, assurances for migrant workers and continuation for funding, which now comes from the EU. David Davis has told Welsh sheep farmers to expect 40% tariffs to export to the EU. So why the heck did he campaign to leave the EU? What a hypocrite!

If the sun is going to be beating down on Sat.....then maybe they will all get heatstroke.
They could bring picnics.
It's quite pathetic really, that they fondly imagine it will change a democratic vote, if they shout loudly enough as they march along.

.....and it is certainly not a cheap shot, to think that Westminster has seen enough 'action' just lately, and that the policing will be difficult.Roll on next Wednesday!

I could not believe what I was reading in that report!

I feel sorry for the Welsh farmers but many of them did intend to vote leave according to the interviews I saw prior to the vote. Maybe there will be less imports of foreign lamb etc after Brexit and that will help them out by having more home sales despite the price.

Well, the vote has been cast, That's it. The best thing we can do is now all pull together and get on with it. I do not believe things will change that much other than our legal system. I think we all depend and rely on each other too much to cut all the ties. Leaving is just protocol, a protest. But really, I think we'll still remain happily unmarried.

I thought the idea of the Brexiters was to cut off all ties.

I think all of us who got what we wanted on June 23rd ( oh glorious day) should be magnanimous in our victory
Or, shall i carry on enjoying your anger? Decisions, decisions.

Going back a bit, does anyone know when the rather strange view of democracy became a 'fact'. Was it after the war when the Labour government were voted in. Have I slept through the subsequent changes in government and the argument for those changes from the day the vote took place or is this only for referendum - in which case how did those people who didn't agree with us entering the common market dare to fight for all these years to get it reversed. It is weird and, dare I say, rather infantile to suggest that people shouldn't do whatever is legal to get their point over and I promise those who never understood how this country works, it is not anti-democratic to do so.

Shall we have a march after the next general election? Because some of didn't get the government we wanted and and didn't understand what we were voting for.

Goose and gander come to mind - Farage said before the vote that a 48/52 split would not be sufficient result - of course he was meaning to Remain - and said he would demand a second referendum - so what is the problem with other people doing that - although in fact very few are asking for another vote but just not a complete cutting of ties and keeping us in the Customs Union etc - things the Leave campaign kept saying would be the deal. . #Still liars.com

Thing is Petra that a GE result can be changed after at the mist five years and is nothing like as serious as this - which is supposed to be a once In a lifetime change - quite different.

It is quite possible that could happen under some circumstances petra. It is both legal and possible and I cannot think what purpose mocking our real democracy in that very meaningless way serves.

Marches and protests are a good way to show that a huge % of people don't agree with the direction our government is taking us. It's perfectly democratic. Didn't St Nigel F claim there would be huge protests at he high court over the judges decision to allow parliament the vote? ( did that happen?) I've been on a few marches in my time ( anti war, stop hospital closures etc) all peaceful, and I'm not rentamob thanks. I intend to go to the rally on this one.

So when May wins the next election those who don't want a Tory government should march in protest ?

If they want!

Elections are reversible after five years. What's happening to this country isn't.

People are marching to make the government accountable for what they're doing and to consult with Parliament, at the very least. I thought people were all in favour of the will of the people! Hypocrites!

But surely the government is doing what the people wanted. We had a referendum to decide. Did I dream that bit?

So ignore the result of the ballot box , that's democracy ? Yet when I voice my objections to Corbyn I am told - he won the vote , if you don't like it you can leave the party

Boom boom annie

No the government should be held to account. People are allowed to protest peacefully about whatever they like as long as it's lawful. What's wrong with that? There isn't a single "will of the people" . I marched against the Iraq war even though it was brought in by a majority government so presumably that was anti democratic in some people's view.

There wasn't a referendum on the Iraq war

No Annie if you choose you can leave the Labour Party, join another party or form your own if you want to. Unfortunately we are stuck here with the decision to leave the EU about to cause great damage to the place we live, with our friends, work mates and relatives, who happened to be born in the EU but work here, feeling unwanted, threatened and worried. The least we can do is allow a march to show that we care about them. As I said before marches are a great British tradition.

Probably this is why the majority voted to leave the EU; they could see no hope of change with the present leadership.

Leaving the EU is the will of the people! Had the vote gone the other way as I thought it would, I and everyone I know would have accepted it however small the majority, and despite what NF had to say. Yes a government can be changed every five years, but five years is a long time and loads of dirty water can go under the bridge in the meanwhile some of which almost impossible to reverse!
The referendum is a done and dusted despite the lies and implications on both sides of the campaign and yes how our exit is conducted must be discussed openly and fully in Parliament, which I have every confidence it will. So lets get behind the politicians and get as good an outcome as we can without causing more agrivation over something that can't be altered.

so Trisher, I should just accept the damage Corbyn is doing to the homeless, the vunerable and walk away. But you support campaigning for EU workers
