In one of the biggest demonstrations in British history, a crowd estimated at over one million people yesterday marched peacefully through central London to demand that MPs grant them a fresh referendum on Brexit.

Yesterday a petition calling for article 50 to be revoked passed 4.5 million signatories, making it the most popular the government petitions website has ever hosted.

The petition is now at 4.5m

Just over 1m?

That's not even as big as the difference between the leave and remain vote in the referendum.

Police estimate 2 million so...yes it is.

All got coaches down to that London.

The Leavers are walking it from Sunderland, that's hardcore.

You might get there in 20 years time.

200 vs 2 million? Hardly hardcore.

Wait until Friday, when they'll all be at Westminster.

Strong rumours that Michael Gove will be Prime Minister within days.

Michael, even his mother calls him, Gove

Murdoch's lick arse

Rob! 23-03-2019 11:02 PM

I think there's one reason and one reason only why May is still in number 10. Even the most power-hungry of politicians don't want to be Prime Minister with all this mess going on.. A general election would be fascinating right now.

BBC suggesting David Lidington. Obviously it's in Chinese Whispers mode at the moment.

May has GOT to go, her robot nature is not for negotiation.

2 million though, as if.

I bet there wasn't even remotely close to 1 million.

Probably about 50 thousand, at the most.

The fake news era, alive and well.

Though I’m sure if it had been the leave campaign boasting those numbers, there would have been no question about its validity?

You seen the replacement names though? Gove? HUNT? Yeesh.

They wouldn't have ever claimed such un realistic numbers.

Well no because the only pictures from the leave march show no more than a couple of hundred people trudging through the rain wearing protective clothing which was likely all made within the EU as opposed to the referendum march which required a helicopter to even come close to capturing the scope of the amount of people filling the streets of the biggest city in the UK.

Have you seen the post on Twitter today, claiming to be a picture from todays march, which turned out to be a picture from the Queens jubilee in 2012?

No. Did you see the video I described above clearly taken today of millions of people in the streets of the capital?

Think it's interesting that tories have said they will vote for May's deal if she stands down. This isn't about the person, this is about the agreement. If they can vote for the deal without her, they can vote for the deal with her at the helm.

Alf 24-03-2019 06:57 AM

We have too many distractions

Television
Hollywood
Netflix
You Tube
Twitter
Facebook
Junk food
Cigs
Booze
Football
Sky Sports
Ect
Ect

All of that is too much to sacrifice, which is why I doubt the people will revolt.

They'd have to take all that away from us first.

They all know this, which is why they don't care if they ignore us.

Yes as those MP's

sort out the next deal proper
after this treaty.
