March? What march?

[Thefuturecouldbebright]

Can anyone else find much news coverage of this 'democratic march against democracy'? Twitter is full of info, but tune into the news channels and you would be forgiven for thinking it wasnt happening. Kind of has the ring of 'nobody cares' really doesnt it?

A number of marchers posting on twitter seem to think they are geographically being removed from Europe, although I guess you could forgive them given the odd name given to the march itself 'March for europe'

Why is it not 'March for E.U'? Isnt that what they are really there for? Anyone else as confused as I am?

Hahahaha! Touche' 😉😉😉

sounds like some sort of mass punning event, very witty, glad to hear people enjoyed it :o

Still though, baguettes? 😂😂😂

But honest to betsy... I must be really unlucky as I still havent seen coverage yet! I fancied a giggle too! 😉😉😂😂 (bants)

Thought this was a particularly profound and well thought out argument....

Just follow the helpful links.

Good :)

Bahahaha!

I take it back... This march was well worth it, it has given me much entertainment on twitter today, despite the fact I didnt get to see the live coverage! Thanks marchers, best thing ever! 😂😂

'March for europe' the gift that keeps on giving....

And yet another intellectually considered point

I can see that the remain side are intellectual heavyweights

That's great, The Future! I'm glad you're amused. I felt equally happy reading the stories' online comments from Brexiters who are not in any way troubled by people exercising their democratic right to protest. There were so many great jokes about dummies and prams! What they lacked in originality, they made up for in sheer volume and multiple exclamation marks!

And I don't know how a few tasteless signs could ever compete with the quiet, restrained dignity of:

and here we have the mindless minority with plans fully loaded, preset insults and blinkers on ready to March into Auschwitsch Zwei under Merkel steamroller iron fisted dictatorship rather than stubby tash himself!!!!!:((((

or

What a big joke thay just bad losers . We dont do this when ever thay win . Just bad losers crying the lot of them . Its like a lot of kids throwing there toys out the pram just because thay lost the eu vote . If thay like the eu that much then move out the uk .

or

Its time these doughballs moved on andfought for unity to improve our general situation and not something that was ,the futures bright now all they have to do is help to mKe sure it stays that way..The EU was collapsing before we had the referendum and it wont be long before it gives way..We are well rid of it also it looks like turkey is being given visas now well ahead of schedule

or

Oh here we go..what a load of chappy brainless idiots supporting, dictation, control, bulling, loss of their country, lost of a voice and lost of our history..bugger off you lot and get a brain in your bloody heads!!!

Imagine the wonderful signs these people would make. I'd be so proud to march alongside them.

But... Spice Girls jokes? Come on, Bremainers. That's just tasteless.

Just what I was thinking Glass! 😉

A rum... What? Like this pleasant remainer?

I never knew I was marching for dictation! Fabulous!

Gassing huh? Nice guy... Wonder if he attended the protest? 🤔

I think it is a very British thing to use humour to express oneself.

I particularly liked the large sign which was being carried in the background of one of the BBC live coverage segments - a large sign with Gove, Bojo and Farage and the caption "Utter Cockwombles"

*it might have been a different word before cockwombles, but it was defo cockwombles!

Please tell me there was a sign using the word "omnishambles"!

Last Friday the Spice Girls one was the first thing to make me smile

Anyway,. let's rise above the nasty messages quoted and just be grateful the march was a success. Peaceful, And hopefully the first of many such.

That "suck" banner does seem odd though..... maybe he had a more relevant slogan on the other side and turned it round by accident?

Melanie... Did you mean 'European'?

If it's anything like the Marches against the War, they'll report that there was maybe 10,000 people.

At the Glasgow anti-war march, Glasgow Green not a small place was still chockablock with people waiting to move onto the road when the car park at the SECC, 3 miles away, was full with people having arrived there. The roads between are wide, yet were filled with the people peacefully marching from the Green to the SECC.

I've run in the London Marathon. I know what 25,000 people looks like. There were a lot more than that; at one point on St Vincent Street you could see about a mile of solid bodies and knew that there were 2 more miles of the same plus 2 large public spaces full of people.

The police said there were 15,000

I subsequently read a letter saying as the police had policed for 15,000, ergo there were only 15,000 which explained a lot

What is a cockwomble anyway?

30,000 according to the Guardian.
