1 million people didn’t march.
At best count it 425k, check out fact-checkers on Facebook. They are non biased. Unlike most other things in this bloody country.

I agree it wasn’t 1 million, it was well over that.

PortiaCastis · 27/03/2019 18:23

Oh here we go again folk who didn't march decrying the headcount, anyhow please tell me who was there trying to count all the people because they must have extreme super powers. As I posted on another thread nobody was there counting me as I got off my train and nobody asked me where I was from to check me against the relevant electoral register. TFL should be able to make a decent estimate of attendees as I think they have cameras everywhere

Not the end of Brexit now, as Theresa May has just offered to resign.

Looks like we are leaving on the 22nd of May.

noblegiraffe · 27/03/2019 18:43

Jumping the gun a bit, Spring

  1. she has to get another vote on her deal past Bercow
  2. she has to win the vote (not certain by any means)
Caztonette · 27/03/2019 18:46

Regardless of whether you want Brexit or not, Its disgusting that so many Tory MPs can spend months telling us how bad TM's deal is, vote against it twice, then u-turn and support it when they get a sniff off power.

Vile.

Marchinupandownagain · 27/03/2019 18:48

We can only hope, but my confidence in Westminster was never high.

BejamNostalgia · 27/03/2019 18:50

Portia, the count is done from aerial pictures and a calculation of people that would be per square metre. Nobody physically counts.

Springwalk · 27/03/2019 18:51

noble

It is relatively simple to bypass Bercow, she will have already done this.

The numbers are there now I believe.

We are leaving! The deal is rubbish but the next leader needs to be a good negotiator, and that will make up for it. If the EU lasts long enough after the elections in May. With Juncker and Tusk going things may very well improve no end.

I am feeling incredibly optimistic this evening.

Viva democracy!!

It’s been reliably counted by academic experts

MarshaBradyo · 27/03/2019 18:53

Tbh I didn’t want a no deal Brexit more than anything so this is better if it happens

Alsohuman · 27/03/2019 18:54

Don’t pop the cork too soon. The DUP won’t vote for her deal while they’ve got holes in their arses.

noblegiraffe · 27/03/2019 18:56

How has she bypassed Bercow?
DUP have yet to say they’ll vote for it.

Plus some may switch to voting against the deal to avoid Prime Minister Boris Johnson taking over the reins.

Not a done deal by any stretch.

Springwalk · 27/03/2019 18:57

DUP will vote for the deal to save having a GE, if that happens they won’t have any kind of say.

Springwalk · 27/03/2019 18:57

Wait and see Smile

Alsohuman · 27/03/2019 19:16

There’s no way the DUP will destroy the Good Friday agreement. Catch yourself on.

Calamapo · 27/03/2019 19:18

The deal is rubbish but the next leader needs to be a good negotiator, and that will make up for it.

Bless your naive little soul.

puppy23 · 27/03/2019 19:20

I really, really hope this is the end of brexit. Yet, I think we'll just end up with even greater of a mess. Scary times ahead.

sushisuperstar · 27/03/2019 19:23

I reckon it will happen now that TM has said she will stand down.

It's all a shower of shit isn't it. How depressing our daily lives are in the hands of these lot.

Graceambrose · 27/03/2019 19:27

We may be seeing the end of the beginning, and the beginning of the next stage of the process for exiting

Parker231 · 27/03/2019 19:29

Bercow has already stated she can’t bring back MV3 in its current format and there’s been no evidence of changes.

brizzlemint · 27/03/2019 19:31

I think we are just seeing a route to hell in a handcart, a total fuck up over Brexit and a general election which the Tories will win because Joe Public hasn't got a fucking clue which lying politician is the lesser of the evils.

JuneFromBethesda · 27/03/2019 19:32

Regardless of whether you want Brexit or not, it's disgusting that so many Tory MPs can spend months telling us how bad TM's deal is, vote against it twice, then u-turn and support it when they get a sniff of power.

Absolutely this. If she gets her shitty deal through on the third go by offering her head on a platter it will be a fucking disgrace.

KittyMcV · 27/03/2019 19:32

Oh, I hope so. I really hope so. In my small circle I know three people who claim to have voted leave as a protest, but didn't expect in a million years for it actually to have gone through. All three want another referendum to say that they would prefer to remain. Add that to the massive number of people who thought they didn't give a s* so didn't bother voting, but now are horrified at what is happening. There would be a landslide for remain vote now. Feelings are running very high. The majority of people here in NI who voted, voted remain, but are being dictated to by a bunch of people who believe the earth is 6000 years old. If there's one lesson to learn from this, it is the dangers of apathy. So, I absolutely hope (among most others in my area) that this is the end of bloody Brexit.

BoneyBackJefferson · 27/03/2019 19:34

I have no love for the toad that is bercow, but he has a point in that parliament shouldn't be allowed to vote on the same thing over and over again until they have bought enough votes for it to pass.

sushisuperstar · 27/03/2019 19:36

@Graceambrose that's what I think.
