A thread for those of us on the march today :)

Weather still looking good, (perhaps, possibly, even some sunshine?) temps around 12-14, a little gusty at times, cooling off in the evening, so bring an extra jumper if you haven't set off.

Travel safely and see you at the march!

BunsyGirl why should the people who haven't caused this mess be the ones to find solutions? Do you have a solution?

Icantreachthepretzels · 24/03/2019 23:08

But then of course we have offered a solution - that was what our march was about. Let the people decide between this deal and remaining. Or if parliament can't agree to this deal long enough to put it on a ballot - revoke and spend time looking at the issues that really caused the brexit vote, devise a way forward and then see how people feel.

Chardonnaysprettysister...I don’t swear and I have never taken drugs in my life...yet again you are attacking me rather than offering a solution. Critising people and calling them names for disagreeing with you is not going to sort the situation out is it.

BercowsSilkTie · 24/03/2019 23:20

Name calling and drugs? What are you on about BunsyGirl ? Have I missed a post from ChardonnaysPrettySister calling you names and accusing you of taking drugs?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/03/2019 23:20

I’m not attacking you, and I’ve never suggested you take drugs.

I used a variation on the ‘shit or get off the pot’ saying in connection with you inability to write piss properly.

If you want to say something, say it as it is.

Icantreachthepretzels · 24/03/2019 23:22

Grin Grin Grin this has all taken a rather weird turn.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 24/03/2019 23:26

A classic case of misinterpreting, I’ll say.

Sorry, but al the coy swear word variations really piss me off.

BunsyGirl · 24/03/2019 23:34

It’s not taking a weird turn...I am just sick of people being called racist and other derogatory terms for the way they voted. I am a Remainer but I am embarrassed about how people have thrown their toys out of the pram and are acting like spoilt children because others didn’t agree with their point of view. I very much wish for a reformed EU which is more acceptable to those that voted out but I can’t see Junker et al agreeing to that.

HazardGhost · 24/03/2019 23:35

It sorta did take a wrong turn.

Just say no to drugs kids.

Oh the irony!

ReanimatedSGB · 24/03/2019 23:52

Thing is, if you voted Leave because of immigration, you are vicious and stupid. Opposing immigration is indefensible, both ethically and logically.

onalongsabbatical · 24/03/2019 23:53

Petition update - 5 and a quarter million now and still rising rising rising - if they won't give us a vote we'll just do our own. Symbolically huge. Please sign, please get others to sign - we have to get this to over 18 million and if we could get close by next Friday that would be amazing. Thank you. This is so important. It's more important than you know. Yes, I've just got back from marching yesterday and I've just had a whisky and ginger wine so I'm talking bollocks. Thank you and goodnight. Sign the petition. Get your elderly parents to sign the petition. Get your cat, dog, and all the chickens to sign the petition. Ta! xx WE ARE GOING TO THWART BREXIT. YAAAS. Grin

dreichuplands · 24/03/2019 23:58

I can see no reason for the people who voted remain to have to come up with ideas to make leaving work, as we are often told 17 million people voted to leave, surely they can come up with one functional idea between the lot of them.

BunsyGirl · 25/03/2019 00:00

ReanimatedSGB do you really think that Brexiteers oppose all immigration and don’t want to let a single person in the country?!

LateEaster · 25/03/2019 00:05

Bunsy girl yes. Lots of posters and people do

It's a neat way to shut people And down.

It's what brown did to his supporter. ( labour) and here we are ConfusedGrin

I must admit out of this mess reading about the tale of the two marches has cheered me up.

LateEaster · 25/03/2019 00:05

Shut people up and down

BunsyGirl · 25/03/2019 00:08

I don’t recall either side giving much thought to the Northern Ireland issue as part of their campaign...maybe if Remain has focussed on that rather than financial Armageddon then more people would have thought more seriously about voting Remain...

DarkYearForMySoul · 25/03/2019 00:11

To everyone who went on the march, and those who wish they could have

Please, please sign up with the People’s Vote campaign and ask them to put you in touch with your local group.
www.peoples-vote.uk/your_local_group

I help run one and we always need more help, no matter how big or small. Plus it’s lovely to be around other pro-EU people, just like on the march.

BunsyGirl · 25/03/2019 00:12

LateEaster...it really saddens me as our wonderful country will be destroyed if people are too afraid to speak out about uncontrolled immigration...immigration is great and we need it....but accusing people of being racist because they think it should be controlled is disgraceful.

dreichuplands · 25/03/2019 00:35

bunsy NI issues were raised, here is an example of two chaps doing so.

www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/09/tony-blair-and-john-major-brexit-would-close-irish-border

Maybe people didn't listen but it was discussed.

BunsyGirl · 25/03/2019 00:44

dreichuplands...but it should have been a much more significant part of the Remain campaign as it was far more tangible than the financial arguments, much of which were just speculation on both sides.

dreichuplands · 25/03/2019 00:53

I think one problem was that remain supporters were told that there plenty of kinds of Brexit were this wouldnt be an issue, no deal was very much dismissed in the campaign and TM's red lines weren't all inked out.
In addition I'm not sure that many Brexit voters care about NI, their current enthusiasm for no deal would suggest they aren't bothered.

Brexit wouldn’t reduce the movement of refugees from the Middle East or anywhere else though! If the British government really wants to reduce the number of refugees then they need to reduce the causes of war by shifting away from such a huge financial reliance on our munitions industry, and also to invest in renewables so that the west isn’t so reliant on oil... anyway I went on the march and it was great!

Mistigri · 25/03/2019 05:04

Good grief, the amount of off topic, badly written, racist claptrap on a thread about a protest march.

Anyone would think that the leavers and trolls and Tory shills were scared by 1.5 million people turning out to march against Brexit in what was almost certainly the largest march in British history.

Don't let them shut down the thread with this nonsense.
