People's Vote March in London 23rd March

700,000 people march please get your facts right

Tens of thousands attended the demonstration marking the second anniversary of the EU referendum. Some marched in the hope of stopping Brexit, some just wanted to have a second referendum on the final deal, but young and old, Labour and Tory, they were all united in their pro-European passion

Anti-Brexit protest: estimated 100,000 march two years after vote-----quote from the Guardian news paper

An estimated 700,000 people gathered in central London to call for a second referendum on a final Brexit deal.

MPs from across the political spectrum and a slew of famous names took part in the People’s Vote march, sponsored by The Independent as part of its Final Say campaign.

The centre of London ground to a halt as an estimated 700,000 people from all over the UK marched peacefully on parliament to demand a second referendum on Brexit. It was the biggest outpouring of public opposition to government policy since the anti-Iraq war protest in 2003.

Bit of a waste of time seeing that no government has ever recognised its people or what their votes stand for.

We can only hope that when this brexit nonsense is over, good people can start to mend the damage it has done by reviewing the way we are governed.

The Palace of Westminster is a building in a precarious state of disrepair and some have suggested that instead of spending hundreds of millions on repairing it we should abandon it, demolish it, sell it off, whatever, and build a new parliament building for the 21st century - arranged, as in most democracies as a circular or semi-circular chamber to accommodate the true range of political opinion, as would be the result of a truly democratic proportional voting system.

Surely that would be better than the confrontational "them and us" arrangement, corresponding with 20th century FPTP two-party politics.

Pleased to meet these other mature! activists outside Westminster yesterday. All booking seats to travel from corners of the country to get to March 23rd event .... and all really concerned about how the disastrous Brexit will affect grandchildren's futures.

Oh dear, what a shame....I can’t go on that march as I don’t live near those places on the list.?

Where do you live? Timbuctoo?

I wouldn't go if I was chauffeur-driven. For all the use it would do.

Maybe the coaches could continue to the Channel tunnel after the march and into the EU, taking the teavellers to safety.

No coach from Urmston.
No inclination anyway.
Good luck peeps.
Yawn. ?

Ha love it Joelsnan ❤️

Do these sweet people on the photograph have a crystal ball * Diva12* to know that Brexit WILL affect their GC’s lives adversely??
Anyone would think us Brexiteers dislike our GC intensely!

I really wanted to go this time and was prepared to travel and pay good money to get there- but sadly I am not able to. I know friends and GNeters who will be attending will let me be there with them in spirit. Do put my name on any banners xxx

We will, jura. Train tickets booked and meet ups arranged

The cynic in me thinks 6 days before B day
does not leave much time.

Nice of getmetothemarch to offer to pay for tickets.
Is there a vetting process?
Just wondering how many pro Brexit could take up the offer for a counter march or anyone who just fancies a bit of free sightseeing.

I'm looking forward to seeing Farage march from Sunderland to London. I'm sure he'll be there every step of the way...

Political BRIBERY!' Nigel Farage hits out at May's £1.6 billion boost to pro-Brexit towns

I think it's worth reminding people what Lord Paddy Ashdown said on the night of the referendum.
I will forgive no one who does not accept the sovereign voice of the British people once it has spoken, whether it is a majority of 1% or 20%
When the British people have spoken you do as they command. Either you believe in democracy or you don't

What a timely post petra thank you ??
PA was a much loved politician of some standing.

You never fail to tell us not to believe anything the Express prints.
So what do we do now with your link @20.52 ?
Please advise.

What was it David Davis said? Something about 'If a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy." wasn't it?

I think that as the Express was reporting what Farage said to hundreds of listeners on his radio show (and has the video to prove it) you can safely believe that it is correct in this instance Ug
