700,000 march against 17,410,742 09:04 - Oct 21 with 8793 views | chiddley | How stupid to think this is going to do anything. Thats 2.3 % of the original 30 million who voted. Those 700,000 should of used their expenses/travel money for the day to help the homeless or sick. If they all spent £15 for the day that's £10.5 Million. Complete waste. | |

700,000 march against 17,410,742 on 09:18 - Oct 21 with 3508 views | Guthrum | Perhaps they were spending their money to help the economy, which oin turn would give more tax revenue to help the sick and homeless? Going to a march down in London is considerably more effort than putting a cross in a box at your local polling station. I heard and saw nothing of a pro-hard Brexit counter-march. | |

You could argue that was because leave has the advantage already. If Brexit was suddenly cancelled you would see a good million in the streets protesting. Sounds like the Brexiteers are plotting against May and might move this week. She's apparently been given '72 hours' and has to attend the 1922 committee. I hope the letters go in. Lets have remain pick a candidate and leave pick a candidate and get on with it. | |

Assuming about 1-2% of people could be bothered, that suggests 700,000 represents the will of 35-70M people. Statistics et al hey? | |

I'm not so sure. A lot of people who were in favour of the concept have been appalled by the shambolic way it's been handled. And if the Conservatives indulge in a bout of internal power struggling at a time like this, then the instigators may be signing their own political death warrants. Corbyn is not Blair, but they have obviously forgotten the run up to 1997. | |

700,000 march against 17,410,742 on 09:47 - Oct 21 with 3389 views | ElephantintheRoom | You misunderstand the purpose of the march which is to demand a peoples' vote on the exact terms and meaning of leaving. I dont know any Brexit bigot who is happy with the current situation either. A key benefit of a third referendum is that IF there are any idiots who still think leaving is a good idea then they can pay 20% more tax. This helps them to be 20% worse off, which tney crave, whilst contributing to rebuilding the damage already inflicted on the country and its peop!e. Meanwhi!e the rest of us get our country back. | |

Given the accepted view that May has made an absolute bollox of Brexit, it is quite astonishing to see Labour on only 36%, 5 points behind the Tories who are on 41%, who’ve been in power for 8 years and are pretty much a zombie government, unable to get any jeaningfulmoegislation through Parliament. At this stage in political cycle Labour should be 10/15 points ahead. The Tories can’t take the lack of enthusiasm for Corbyn for granted, but may conclude that fresh leadership would give them a further bounce in the polls with a view to a new General election in the new year. | |

Heh Glasgow I would ask by PM but you requested that I don't send them so..... ....I never got to see if you answered my question about whether it has been raining on your holiday on that thread yesterday that got pulled again.......you know where you got all unnecessarily passive aggressive with me again. (and I even gave you an uppie yesterday ) .....do you know why it was pulled? (For clarity this is a question not an accusation!) | |

No comma after 'have', no capital 'I' in the middle of a sentence and don't start a sentence with 'And'. | | | |

700,000 march against 17,410,742 on 10:35 - Oct 21 with 3237 views | Vaughan8 | If only we didn't have brexit and all the money being spent on it, we could saved saved loads..... Can't wait for the nhs to get £350m a WEEK extra. That's £18.2 billion a year. When "brexiteers" tell me when that's kicking in, I'll start to take notice of the tripe most are talking..... From the news the nhs is on its knees so it's needed. However surely we have to pay off the millions/billions of pounds spent on brexit first? Lastly, the match wasn't to remain was it. I think it was to give us a say in what "brexit" we have? [Post edited 21 Oct 2018 10:37]
