AIBU to ask what will actually happen on 29th March... Will we have John Snow narrating a countdown to armegedon? ?

[drivinmecrazy]

Genuine question. How do you think the media will cover it?
Will it be a countdown and then lights out?
Will it be programming as normal?
Will radio be playing poignant tunes?
I'm personally hoping the likes of the Mash Report and Last Leg will be on air to see me through

I only mention Spain as I've just visited there...I want to apologise to the entire EU!

Here you go, you can march to protest. I'm going because I want the world to see that our young people overwhelmingly don't want Brexit

But we already know that 16 million voters wanted to stay in the EU - unless 17 million people turn up to the protest march it doesn't change anything.

Also, what are the nationalities of the protesters? There are approximately 300,000 French nationals living in and around London for example - how many will be on the march but cannot vote in a second referendum? How many EU students studying in London will be on the march? They cannot vote in a second referendum either.

I think very little will happen actually on 29th. TV coverage same as on election nights, but nothing to affect us.
The effects will be in the following days/ weeks with price rises and food shortages

I've just found figures for 2016/17:

◾78,405 European students enrolled at UK universities in 2016/17 - that's just the figures for one year.

◾EU students are one of the largest portions of international students in the UK.
◾EU countries which send the highest number of students to study in the UK are Germany, France and Italy.
◾According to the official statistics, in 2016/17, 13,735 German students started their degree in a UK university.
◾With 6,585 students sent to study, Bulgaria shared the smallest number of EU students enrolled in the UK in 2016/17.

How many of the young people on the protest march will be EU citizens, not UK citizens?

Hilarious...I need a knitted hat 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Maybe a firework display at the same time to celebrate Britain becoming 'great again'.

I'm imagining a small damp squib rising 2 inches into the air then falling to the ground with a sad sigh.

oh and you will need to buy a European driving licence from the post office if going abroad this year - I've just got my form!

The world will carry on, we’ll get by.

Marvellous! I'm in my 50's, I have health problems, I have children. I don't particularly want to just get by at my age so you can take that view and stick it where the sun doesn't shine...

yes - bring on the 4 Yorkshire Men - we where poor buy happy …

no one should have to 'get by' - it's like Brexit is a shit TARDIS only able to transport us back to the 1930's

Exactly ghost, this isn't meant to be boastful but we're comfortable financially and don't have to worry too much about the cost of shopping etc (I am relatively frugal though because I'm not a fan of waste).

I don't really want to have to go back to my much younger years of counting every penny because some people think Brexit is a great idea. I want to be able to enjoy my second half of my life comfortably and not have to think about whether we can afford a full salad bowl other foods are available that week.

Gosh that was quite cathartic saying that and I do realise it has absolutely nothing to do with what the Op asked

Also, what are the nationalities of the protesters?

Ah, the discrediting starts already, before the march has even taken place, from someone who wasn't even there! I was on the last one. Everyone around was English or Scottish. I linked to a news report on a thread at the time which had interviews with several marchers, all of whom spoke with English accents. But no, it was entirely populated by French people of course.

Here's an idea - come along to the next March and see for yourself, then we might believe you!

I'm with you QuirkyQuark. I'm 70, I don't want to face an old age having to 'get by', and frankly, I'm finding it pretty scary.

I can't believe that this is still being allowed to go ahead. It was only ever an advisory referendum and yet here we all are in a handcart, rolling down a steep hill completely out of control and on our way to hell.

Why is no one in power saying 'stop the madness?'

I find it all very depressing.

Marvellous! I'm in my 50's, I have health problems, I have children. I don't particularly want to just get by at my age so you can take that view and stick it where the sun doesn't shine...

So what view would you like, we’re all going to die? Do you think i want to “just get by” either? thing is, whatever happens we can’t change it by fretting about it, fwiw im worried about medicines too, vital medicines, i have to say to myself “we’ll get by” or i’ll worry myself to death. So i won’t stick my view where “the sun doesn’t shine” thankyou, i’ll carry on with my little ray of optimism, and refuse to be defeated by doom and gloom.....it won’t help me.

Ah, the discrediting starts already

I'm not discrediting anything - it's a valid question.

Didn't take me long to find this;

www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/oct/20/peoples-vote-turnout-trumps-previous-protests

• several people interviewed here on the previous march - who were not eligible to vote in the first referendum.

"How many of the young people on the protest march will be EU citizens, not UK citizens?"

How many of the people voting leave were commonwealth citizens but not UK citizens?

Oh and people who can't vote, have every right to campaign for a second referendum. Democracy see.

What will happen?

The majority of people who voted for Brexit will slowly come to realize that they were conned.

Those to whom it is a tenet of faith will continue to describe it as a success.

Clavinova. Get a new barrel. You've scraped the absolute bottom of this current one.

Oh and people who can't vote, have every right to campaign for a second referendum. Democracy see.

Of course - but unless someone changes the rules they cannot vote in a second referendum either.

If half of the people marching are actually EU citizens it's more of a Please Don't Leave Us March , not a People's Vote March.

"The world will carry on, we’ll get by."

But worse off than we would have been.

£800m a week worse of since the referendum.

How much worse when outside of the EU?

I hope we can put it behind us and come together, that the division of families, work places, the country where almost half were on one side half on the other endsand we get on with things for better or for worse.

BTW estimates based on the 2011 census put the number of Commonwealth citizens eligible to vote in the referendum at between 894,000 and more than 960,000.

If they could vote, so should EU citizens have been allowed to.

How many of them would now vote the other way seeing as Priti Patel's promises about having more visa from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been proved to be false?

How many of the young people on the protest march will be EU citizens, not UK citizens?

Probably very few if the last two marches are anything to go by, but nice attempt at deflection from the fact that 700,000 people took to the streets last time.

Its funny that the leavers are all about democracy, but only when they want to be.
