Our Future is in Their Paws

Option 4



The Government's own Department for Exiting the EU has concluded that the best option for the United Kingdom's economy and people's jobs is to remain. 


Our elected representatives have shown themselves incompetent to act in our interests. Members of Parliament have undermined Parliamentary democracy by handing more power to the executive.

Now that everyone has more information about the consequences of leaving the EU, we, the People, should be allowed a say on the final deal.

A new People's Vote would not be a second EU Referendum.

It would be the third EU Referendum since 1975, when the majority voted in favour of remaining.


Brexit is still legally reversible. 

We can still save our country and all our futures.

There should be an Option to Remain.

The Misgovernment of Britain

This ghostly exuberance, this rose-pink nostalgia, pink, the colour of ironic femininity and about-to-be-lost illusions, knowing and sweet; this decaying crown of experience in the benighted, bee-endangered, Brexit semi-coma, is the last shout of beauty on the edge of dying.

On the edge of good taste, too, some would say. Such overt flirtation and florid excess, such abandonment to the moment, such tender voluptuousness, too fragile to touch; their éclat is not for all seasons.

Performance at this level is exhausting. Tomorrow, or the day after, their lovely faces will shrivel, shrink from their reflections, and shed fragrant tears, little pink silk sheets littering the floor, until they are bald.  I owe them the courtesy of hiding them before anyone else sees them like that.

On my last English mantelpiece, the flush of full-blown roses looks dimmed, as if an interfering prig has veiled a group of over-dressed, over-scented, over-the-top fifty-something women at a party long ago, their magnificent defiance muted into memory - 

nah, old pink roses will be back screaming and shouting at you from somewhere next year.

MARCH

MARCH ON 23 JUNE 


because if "parliament votes for a hard Brexit, then a people's vote is the last hope of saving us all."

"because I think the no-Brexit position could win."

"But please God, let there be no other referendum ever again: never forget the near-mortal damage done to Britain by an irrevocable vote on an unfathomably complex question. 

"Instead, trust in general elections to throw the bastards out when they get things wrong." 
Polly Toynbee, The Guardian

MARCH FOR THE PEOPLE'S VOTE
ON SATURDAY 23 JUNE
AT 12PM

PALL MALL-WESTMINSTER


March to save our country's future and restore rational democratic government.
This moment defines us all. March to take back control and save us from destructive Brexit.
