London 25 March

[Niamer]

See you there!

Plus the only male in my household who actually has any sense is as Northern working class as it comes

I am not ranting. I am not surprised that posters would describe my arguments in such a pejorative and reductive way. It's so typical and so pathetic.
Similarly, there is nothing tribal about it. Look at the map of where the leave heartland is.

cowgirls instead of apparently making arguments for the sake of it on here, could you tell us why you think the 'northern poor' or indeed anyone is going to be better off as a result of Brexit?

i don't necessarily mean financially better off but if you're so desperate for us 'understand' their vote, you need to explain how they reached the conclusion it was the best option.

'Sticking one up the establishment' is also commonly called 'shooting youself in the foot' unless you get the last laugh.

Yes Cowgirl like the Skipton and Ripon constituency, the largest but not exactly one of the most deprived areas in the country though? A huge Leave vote was generated in comfy middle class villages across the constituency. Then there was York and Leeds, both voted Remain, and Leeds does have more than it's fair share of appalling deprivation.

It is tribal when you start othering people as you have done. I would not indulge in reductive stereotyping of you because you are "Northern", or make sweeping generalisations about any parts of the country. Why are you doing it about the marchers posting on here?

I'm enjoying the animal pics

Lovely bit of passive aggression there Kaija

kitty Your boycat is vvv handsome! I would love my girlcat to date him, however she hates all other cats , even metropolitan liberal elite citizens of nowhere cats.

And I'm loving ron's thoroughly gorgeous Northern working boydog!

More gratuitous pictures of my darling girlcat...

Elements does your girl fancy a date with my metropolitan liberal elite boy?

OMG that furry belly I want to bury my face in it !

Elements I know, he is incredibly cuddly. He's actually a migrant cat - he used to live next door but voted with his feet and moved in with us and, when his owner moved, she said we may as well keep him. As a migrant, he is obviously pro Remain. He's also quite intellectual and takes a lot of interest in DS1's A level homework.

Thanks to all marchers

I'm so pleased you and Mrs Lurking made it, LH. Several for effort.

If Theresa May was hoping it would all go away on Wednesday, she needs to think again:

Tanith's link didn't work for me - I think it is this one www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/we_will_keep_marching_for_the_uk_s_future_in_the_eu_1_4947924

Thank you!

Fantastic day!! After the terrible events last week, the streets were filled with sunshine and love. #strongertogether. That was not the final chapter though; if you believe the UK place is in Europe, keep on believing. We must continue to make our voices heard.

Do you think TM must be surrounded by Yes Men? She's goes around saying that the country is united behind her on Brexit. That is a Trump level, side of a bus style lie in the face of quantifiable facts showing the very opposite. Never in my life (I'm 47) has the mainland been more divided. Even the most hard-line Brexiteer must see that.

Not only does TM surround herself with Yes Men, she is proud of it. Look at the way she has sacked/forced out anyone who disagrees with her (vide: Michael Heseltine, Ivan Rogers) and slapped down anyone who doesn't toe the party line - which she has decided is indistinguishable from her line.

She perhaps thinks if she says it often enough, it will become reality.

Met nice local people on return train and am linking up with her village's 48% group. Without the march, I'd not have been able to find local people still campaigning, and am going to help out with petitioning and leafletting.

Local( and maybe non party political?) campaigning is so important.
The work continues after Wednesday, in fact it probably really starts then, now they are under the impression they have won.

Absolutely User; we must keep going, we must be nuisances. I will continue to witter for my children. I cannot and will not accept what is plain stupid.
