Protests against Brexit.*title edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

People are meeting at College Green (just down the way from Parliament Square) this evening at 5:30 (and on I guess)

Saturday 31st there is a protest outside Downing street at 12pm. See photo.

I'll add any more that I see. Feel free to do the same.

How's the protests going? I'm to drunk to look any thing up

What's all this shit about the left? There's a far right gov in power with Jacob Reese Moggs and some batshit anti abortionist and some corporeal punishment psycho. Me thinks the left is not the problem right now.

X post!

FFS OkBaby Brexit is not a left/right issue.
Not everyone who disagrees with proroguing parliament for 32 days (!!) is on "The Left".
Not everyone who is critical of BJ is on "the left"
You made the same mistake on the other thread and it's tedious.

Proroguing parliament for between 3 and 7 days = normal.
Proroguing parliament for 32 days at the most critical time for decades, in a calculated move to prevent parliament from limiting the PMs power = very much NOT business as usual.

I should have gone up this evening. I'm kicking myself for not (even though it was the sensible thing to do) They look really really big.

I’ve been following the protests on twitter and they look huge!

Yes stop the coup! Stop the cunt! Stop the coup! Stop the cunt!

Stopping brexit is against democracy surely

Don’t fucking dare talk about democracy. This has been decided by a man who was voted for by less that one percent of the population and agreed by a woman who is in a hereditary position.
The reason that we are in this position is due to an illegal campaign fronted by the man in question.
It is far from democratic. It is a coup if not a dictatorship.

Do you think any MPs will take note of how many people are protesting all around the UK tonight? Especially at such short notice...

What is tearing me up, is that the little Sodem contingent have been there for 3 years virtually on their own. Steve is now in Gibralter doing a pro EU action and all of these folks are there in his place.

Lots of people are cross.

Get well soon OYBK, you made the right call.( you mentioned something on the westminstenders thread earlier) Thanks.

Do you guys know how this works? The timing isn’t great but prorogation is long overdue. If it isn’t done now parliament may be suspended over brexit which would’ve far worse. I suppose it could be shorter - is that what you are aiming for? Because you can’t just expect prorogation to be put off until after brexit.

Yup thanks for asking boggles, we know stuff.

Kicking myself I went home from work not knowing about this. I should have joined the demonstrations. Does anyone know if anything is planned for tomorrow in London? I am in my pyjamas now unfortunately but wish I was there

Thank you Woman Determined to be there on Saturday.

I'm drunk boggles and I STILL KNOW HOW THIS WORKS

Stop the cunts! Stop the coup! Stop the cunts! Stop the coup!

Bearded If you work in London I'd head over to College Green tomorrow after work to support the SODEM lot (keep an eye in case they move to Downing st.)

ohbadbad take it easy if you need to Saturday. Don't want to set yourself back over a coup cunt. He's not worth it.

Waste of time, the Queen has agreed.

It should have settled by then :) if it hasn't I'll skip it and go up Tuesday evening.

If fact, here's a good thread explaining why this matters.

@RuthFox01

If Parliament is prorogued on the 9th Sept there will be only 16 sitting days left to 31 Oct, assuming no sitting Fridays. If it happens on the 10th Sept there will be just 17, on the 11th just 18 or on the 12th just 19 sitting days left, assuming no sitting Fridays. (12/17)

So, the government’s manoeuvre halves the number of potential pre-Brexit sitting days when government ministers can be held to account.

In the current Brexit context anything longer than a usual short prorogation to end the session and start a new one helps the government evade parliamentary scrutiny. (14/17)

If Parliament stands prorogued ministers cannot be called to account each day at the despatch box. There will be no urgent questions, no emergency debates, no ministerial questions, no Prime Minister’s

There will be no scrutiny of ministers’ negotiations with the EU or of the progress being made with no-deal preparations while both Houses stand prorogued.

Select committees will not be able to sit and scrutinise government planning and decision-making. If the House had merely adjourned – e.g. for conference recess – then they could have held evidence sessions if necessary.

There’s also a flash rally in Leeds City Square tomorrow from 5.30.

Lovely.
