"Many of us...have a feeling that we are living in a country where fanatics, hooligans and eccentrics
have got the upper hand."

JOIN THE MARCH TO DEMAND
ON THE BREXIT DEAL.
The politicians cannot deliver a workable deal. Our democracy is discredited if it does
not benefit the people.
This is the biggest fight of our lives to save our country and a decent quality of life for everyone,
the poor as well as the rich,
the sick as much as the healthy.
This march isn't just for Europhiles:
it is for all of us.
It is for our children;
it is for our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents who fought to give us
social and political rights we take for granted.
It is for people who care about education, environment and culture, for equality and justice, for music and science, for nursing and medicine, for affordable nutritious food
and humane farming standards, for their jobs.
It is for the freedom to follow your vocation in the modern world, unfettered by prejudice and ideology.
It's the last reality check before self-destruction.
A bad Brexit will cause more civil unrest in the long run than no Brexit.
Democracy was given to free the people,
not trap them.
March for a vote on the deal.
March for an option to Remain in the EU and reform it from within.

BRITAIN IS A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT,
IN DENIAL
Something has gone very wrong in our country,
and like a terminally ill person in denial of their mortality, about
half the British public aren’t admitting it. Such things don’t happen in
Britain, they believe. It’s only other nations that commit atrocities,
build concentration camps, persecute innocent people. “It wouldn’t
happen here”.
It is happening here.
