To think not many people will turn up for the Brexshit 'celebration' in London

I see they've put flags down the mall but I feel like not many people will turn up for this. I know there's the big draw of farage, Widdecombe, and possibly the racist Jim Davidson. AIBU to think there's not likely to be a big turnout?

What compromises or concessions have been made to at least 48 percent of voters who wanted to remain?
Pull together seems to mean stfu
Not going to happen

Exactly this. I've yet to hear any benefit to leaving and I will never support this and have no desire to "pull together" or heal any divisions. I'm angry. I will always be angry. Fuck them all.

I’ll be watching this again.

Blimey, Stu’s expanded!

Just saw on the news, the thuggish Brexiteers are burning the EU flag whilst chanting 'burn it burn it' and draped in their union jacks

Just when you think they couldn't stoop any lower...

What a group of crass, vile individuals, but exactly what I expected to see this evening at their vindictive celebration.

I'm ashamed that we have such people in a so called civilised educated country. .

A loss of rights for workers & the disabled
Could someone give a reference to this? Have we enacted laws which take away these rights? Or is this another Mystic Meg Remain Prediction?

Yeah i just saw that dim

Between the virus and brexit the news is pretty much unwatchable for me

nixkix · 31/01/2020 18:24

The news earlier said there were already 'hundreds' of people there. It's a terrible waste of money really, I expect it's costing more than the 5% that Sajid Javid has said has to be cut from each department this year.

dimsum123 · 31/01/2020 18:24

Agree Rufus, I've got a large mojito in my hand to get me through the evening.

Sounds like Tommy Robinson's friends.

We've left the EU, not won a war.

Burning flags makes me very uncomfortable and not just because I'm a remainer; such jingoism is very ugly.

Not sure I'd want to be out on the streets of Britain tonight if I were anything other than white British.

MarshaBradyo · 31/01/2020 18:40

Burning flags god how depressing

Lordfrontpaw · 31/01/2020 18:46

Well it’s raining in WC1 so I hope it keeps up. My god - so the weather isn’t better with Brexit????

That'll be the same people who throw all their teddies out of their pram about people burning the Union flag.

PhilSwagielka · 31/01/2020 18:49

I hope no-one's planning on counterprotesting. It's a bad idea. It could be dangerous.

I've seen photos of people wearing 'it's OK to be white' t-shirts and holding up signs like this. Makes you feel really at home if you're foreign and/or a minority.

Or poppies. Oh god. What is happening on the world?

I think I may just drop this here of their commander in chief making a good case for leave

It’s literally chucking it down in London.
Good.
Disgusting people

ManonBlackbeak · 31/01/2020 18:57

I dont think anyone has ever said that its not OK to be white, have they?

I really dont see the point they are trying to make?

BoneyBackJefferson · 31/01/2020 19:00

JamieVardysHavingAParty

You would have more of a valid point if you weren't ignoring the bile and vitriol from remainers.

Some of whom are still spewing it.

This parody account is almost believable!

PhilSwagielka · 31/01/2020 19:11

@ManonBlackbeak It's a white supremacist slogan. C18 and the NF are down there too.
