...starting at 12 o clock from Pall Mall.

(Piccadilly, Green Park and Charing Cross station are the nearest tubes.)

Lolz at all those suggesting big businesses leaving the UK is going to bring their kids a bright future. Even Farage admits Brexit isn't a magic pill. It's going to be a catastrophe and you're going to regret your vote when you finally stop pretending.

twofingerstoEverything · 23/06/2018 17:14

Let’s keep voting until we get the result the elite want

^^Critical thinking at its very best (or has someone swallowed the Daily Express?)

Of course it will make the news, it’s exactly 2 years since the referendum.
But so what?
Do you think being on the news will change anything? do you think the government will only know about the march if they happen to switch the telly on?

twofingerstoEverything · 23/06/2018 17:16

Aw. Something's rattled surfer's cage.

If everyone stopped ranting about 'winning' or 'loosing' and actually stood back and had even a cursory look at how the WORLD works things might improve.
Leavers 'won' the (ridiculous) vote.
They have also 'won' at least 3 or 4 percent tax rises (just to fund the NHS), unemployment, reduced skilled workforce and investments and for a period around 'Brexit day' total chaos, which could last a week or more.
Not quite a 'win' in my book but there you are.

time4chocolate · 23/06/2018 17:17

Well, I think that the march today will have helped the country get a better deal (not) from the EU. Very short sighted but I’m not surprised.

Still, I am glad everyone had a nice time and the weather stayed fine for you

JacquesHammer · 23/06/2018 17:18

Surfer do try and follow the thread, it makes it so much easier

twofingerstoEverything · 23/06/2018 17:19

It was a great day. The sun shone. Everyone was positive and friendly. There were some great speeches (the ones I could hear!).
Even Katy Hopkins rallied. Bless her cotton socks.

"I won" GrinGrinGrinGrin. So much winning. Beautiful winning. It's gonna be the best winning ever.

LMFAO as my dd says when I'm not listening.

Helmetbymidnight · 23/06/2018 17:20

No industry, fewer jobs

Brexiteer goals.

54321go · 23/06/2018 17:22

I'm just pissed off with the buggers who have trashed my pension. That's you, leavers.

twofingerstoEverything · 23/06/2018 17:23

Well, I think that the march today will have helped the country get a better deal (not) from the EU.
That wasn't the point of it, time4. Why don't you leavers have a march calling for a good deal, the biggest deal, the bestest deal? Is it because no-one can agree what that would look like? At the very least, Leavers should be making it clear that they will hold the government to account if things turn to shit. Unless that's what they want.

Interesting analysis here from the Brexit Brigade. Although maybe the group noun for Brexit supporter should be an embarrassment of Brexit supporters.

Anywho, it is utterly laughable that a bad Brexit would bring down the middle classes and the rich. It’s not a zombie apocalypse. We’re not moving to a barter system.

I’m one of those middle class lefties that MarcusCrassus sneers at.

And guess what? A bad Brexit probably wouldn’t touch me. We own our home outright, have a fair few assets and both work in professions that will weather the storm.

And it is the same for all of my friends and acquaintances. Many who own their houses outright and are either retired or work in industries where they could ride out a storm.

So, the worst thing to happen to me might be less travel to Europe. One holiday instead of two.

Hey, it might even be easier for my daughter to get into uni without all those EU students.

On the other hand, a bad Brexit for those on the breadline, renting, in insecure employment etc, is going to mean homelessness, job loss and a massive drop in the quality of life.

And I am therefore totally against Brexit. It is an utterly stupid, self inflicted wound that had been forced on the country by swivel eyed ideologues like Jacob Rees- Mogg.

Stop pretending you care about the poor and working class when you’re supporting the worst thing to happen to them in this lifetime. You are not revolutionaries.

After Brexit the rich will still be rich, the middle class will still be well off and the poor will be fucked.

Was it a 'gold-plated' one, 54321? If so, you are a leftist elitist bastard.

Back at ya.
No-one gave a flying fig about the working class until 2 years ago when they were deemed to have voted the wrong way. Stop telling people they are fucked and it’s all their fault when they have felt that way for years and been ignored. It boils my piss.

Mookatron · 23/06/2018 17:32

I'm enjoying the fact that whoever thinks putting numbered points into post makes you i) look more intelligent or ii) make any more sense. 'Brexit' was a word created by leavers who recognised they needed a catchy name to make people think it was a positive move. Had the leave campaign (who I admit were much less on the ball) come up with an equally catchy equivalent the Daily Mail would've had a much harder time controlling their readership's voting decisions.

MissSusanSays · 23/06/2018 17:34

time4chocolate

It’s not their fault. It’s your fault. Not everyone from the working class voted to leave. My working class family didn’t. And now they have to deal with the consequences.

Stop pretending you represent the entire working class. You are embarrassing yourself.

Helmetbymidnight · 23/06/2018 17:34

Well I’m wc, and I voted not to lose industry and not to have fewer jobs and it boils my piss that people - especially ‘comfortably off well educated southerners’ - support that.

IslaBoots · 23/06/2018 17:35

Two fingers- Did you win?? Of course you didn't! Again... What was the point? Hope you feel better for an utterly pointless march though Grin

Helmetbymidnight · 23/06/2018 17:36

The brexiteers don’t even bother pretending it will be good for anyone anymore.

They know they’ve fucked us.

But still, it was a vote, end of, we won.

time4chocolate · 23/06/2018 17:44

Ooh I appear to have hit a nerve there
Misssysansays

I am not pretending to represent any group of people so no embarrassement felt.

Helmet fair enough

54321go · 23/06/2018 17:45

About £5,000 Does that make me a leftist elitist bastard.?
I reckon about 75 p/week

Vicky1990 · 23/06/2018 17:47

I am really looking forward to our independence from the crooked failing EU.
It has turned into something we did not vote for, David Cameron asked them to make changes and was told on your bike.
Any organisation that cannot change its rules when they are obviously wrong is going to fail.
The uncontrolled waves of migration into the EU is causing Hugh problems to our schools, housing and medical services, and pushing the pressure on the police through the roof.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 23/06/2018 17:48

I watched 10 minutes of it earlier & everyone was over 40. Apart from a few bored looking kids who’d been dragged along obviously.

Dammit me and my friends can't have made the news then! All well under 40 I'm afraid and believe it or not we're not all lefties! The icing on the cake is we're not all Southerners, some of us our Northerners too.

This stereotyping is ridiculous.
