With Theresa May on track to trigger Article 50 on Wednesday and thereby begin Britain’s formal exit from the European Union, Remainers took to the streets of London on Saturday for one final hurrah. Tens of thousands of people joined the Unite for Europe march — calling on Britain to remain in the EU. Leading the protests was Tim Farron, who said it was important Leavers and Remainers unite for a final say on the Brexit deal.
The Lib Dem leader received applause as he claimed that neither Theresa May not David Davis have a clue what the final Brexit deal will look like:
‘We do not believe for one minute they signed up to that narrow world view Theresa May has chosen. She does not speak for the 52 per cent – she barely speaks for the five per cent. But we also stand in defiance because we do not buy the argument that democracy ended on the 23 June last year.’
So, with all the talk of unity, acceptance and friendship at the event, surely the activists had some warm words for the Brexiteers they are hoping to win round? Alas not. In fact, the placards on show suggest that some Remain-ers haven’t learnt much at all since the Leave vote came in:
So much for coming together as one…
