Any Gnetters at the Rejoin march today in London

I am about to cook a roast dinner, every item is U.K. bred and grown, the majority less than 5 miles from my home.

And the UK is quite happy to import the food they pick!

The entire EU buys Spanish produce, I and most people/family I know avoid it like the plague.

Farm shops and U.K. seasonal produce is best for our carbon footprint.

And the UK is quite happy to import the food they pick!

They have their passports and travel documents confiscated on arrival!

These workers are paid a pittance and forced to live in unsanitary, unsafe and inhumane conditions!

I think that the three Right to Food rallies were far more relevant and important than a ^rejoin march^

And you just can't, or won't, see how the two are so closely related?

Like I asked you upthread to enlighten us with regards to the mafia, please tell what being out of the EU has to do with low wages in the U.K. ?

The EU hasn’t got any problems with the slave like conditions of Africans working in the thousands of square meters of poly tunnels in Spain producing fruit, salad and vegetables for the EU, or the subsequent plastics pollution and excess water usage…

I know several people who where there and would have been myself if we didn't have several of the family with Covid.

Anyone?

Not even Gransnetters who are still incensed and upset?

Several of the friends I used to march with are either dead or suffering from ill health. Or, like me, can’t afford to travel to London and are worried about catching covid. A lot has happened in the past four years, unfortunately.

Can there be a greater self-indictment by the BBC of just how gripped by a politically motivated executive they have become as to not reporting one the U.K.’s largest rallies of the year about one of the U.K.’s most defining issues of the last decade?

Yet your esteemed leader (Sir Ed Davey) is on record (BBC) as saying voters aren’t talking about Brexit anymore

BBC coverage nowhere to be seen as European news channels broadcast re-join march

Protesters against the UK’s exit from the European Union have labelled the move “a huge mistake” as they campaigned to re-join the bloc.

A large crowd of pro-EU protestors gathered outside the Hilton hotel on Park Lane in west London for the National Rejoin March (NRM) on Saturday.

Thousands of people dressed in blue clothing and carrying EU flags filled the pavement ahead of the march through the city’s streets, which was due to culminate with a rally at Parliament Square.

Nobody from GN went to the protest then, and most hadn’t even heard it was happening Callistemon it looks like.
Your right, we just get on with life and do the things we enjoy with family and friends, that’s what lifes about right?😃

We hope that the politicians can sort out some arrangement with the EU that both sides would be happy with.
That's why we pay them.
If we don't like what they do then we don't vote for them.

Although it does look as if the King might be a better negotiator than any we've tried so far.

How did you find out calistemon?

From this thread, silverlining

How did you find out calistemon?

This is the first I have heard about the demonstration.

But no-one on the thread so far went to it?

oh I wish I was there. Looks like a great crowd. The BBC will say there were a handful, of course.

I doubt whether the BBC will cover it... I'm fully supportive and asubscriber to the movement who organised this

Well the Mafia are in Australia but maybe the UK is too cold for them ?

Perhaps not rejoin but no reason why we can’t aim for closer relationship a la Norway, which we were actually promised by the likes of Farage, Brexit has cost us billions, far from saving money, and continues to devalue our GDP every year, so another Brexit lie, as well as the lies about improving our public services- they’ve got worse, and cutting immigration - it’s gone up. We were also led to believe the EU would collapse without us - it hasn’t and we’d all be better off - we aren’t. So many lies.

Yes, that's what mean about the referendum being poorly thought out.

I think most people would have wanted to retain a trade agreement and other links.

There was no plan. No-one had a plan for a Leave vote.

Not only was the referendum 'poorly thought out', but the consequences of a Leave vote weren't thought about at all.

All those wonderful promises made by the Leave campaigners were male cow excrement.

Cost of living - Covid, war in Ukraine, increased energy costs, the 2008 crash which we have not recovered from

NHS - insufficient investment

Net zero - alignment with Europe

We hadn't recovered from 2008 because of Osborne's needless insistence on cutting public spending. Much of our woes stem from that (including Brexit)

Nonetheless, the Office of National Statistics forecast a 4% drop in GDP and holds to it, regardless of other issues. Note that the EU recovered from the covid measures far better than the UK.

Lack of inward (or any other) investment because of our poor economic performance as a result of Brexit and there is no prospect of improvement.

No use blaming other factors when other countries have experienced the same and have recovered faster.

We were ahead of the EU as far as net zero was concerned. No particular virtue in backsliding.

If we were to implement those Brexit border controls the cost of living would increase with the added expense they would generate. Note, it's been deferred several times for that very reason.

What did happen to £350 million a week extra for the NHS?
