[Closed] Unite for Europe March

chewk says........... dont protest just blindly obey your brexit masters

Im going to try and go down later

Seems odd to be concerned about something that isn't going to achieve anything, TBH.

We're planning on going. Taking the dog too. On a string. 😀

Stay classy, DD. (-:

I did not say follow blindly but at least wait until the A50 is signed or whatever deal is done, then decide if they are good for you. Isn't that the rational way forward rather than trying to jump to conclusion?

But nobody has said what they hope the march will achieve or what the government should listen to ? I would imagine that would be "scrap brexit", but that's not going to happen is it.

So, the march then. Is anyone here going?

If I can organize a wheelchair and transport.
If only to show citizens of the EU that *I don't hate them, as a lot feel like that, which is no way to treat your **family!

*Not saying that those not attending do hate them.
**Literally; my family is founded by various immigrants, plenty from Europe.

Why take the dog?

Can I take you instead? On a string? You can be my pet Brexiteer? Everybody can stroke you. I get the feeling you don't often get human contact. It'll be nice.

Actually thinking about it, I'll take the dog. She makes more sense than you.

* the 48%. They lost. Is it such a hard concept to understand.

Possibly the least helpful response from a brexiteer I've heard. And that's ****ing saying something. **

Marching is not going to do any good other then stirring up sentiment amongst people who are trying to move on.

Marching is good for the sole (pun intended) speshially when accompanied by some jaunty tunes, gotta keep in step though 😉

'Everyone should be free to support and believe in whatever sparks life into them. Ignore detractors because their voice is just white noise, listen to the voice inside yourself and believe in the conviction and passion.

The internet is full of angry do nothing arseholes, intent on disruption and fear.

Fuel your belief in what stirs your soul.

I'll march so long as there's no sassenachs, the complete fuddy gobshites.

Racist.

"Fuddy?"

I believe that the voices of those 48% (and almost certainly rising) should be heard rather than "shut up, we won, you lost, get over it, two world wars and one world cup doo dah."

Congratulations on quoting 2 questions and not answering either of them.

Do you believe that Brexit can be stopped and that the wishes of the 48% should outweigh the wishes of the majority ?

Don't know if it can be stopped but given the closeness of the result, the importance of the outcome, and the number of people who either voted on false premises or have wavered since, I don't think it's unreasonable to give the matter some consideration.

I'd march if I could be there.

It was far from a unanimous decision, as said above if the people most affected by this vote had been included there is a very good chance it would have turned out differently. And opinions do change as new information comes to light. On the day Martin McGuiness dies, the reflection is that everyone has a chance to reconsider no matter what was thoought in the past.

The big issue to me is that our elected representatives; the ones who should be raising the concerns are waving things through virtually unfettered. And if the elected representatives won't represent me, I'll have to do it for myself.

Well this thread opens your eyes to the thought process of Brexit supporters

Stay classy Zaneland 🙄

Can't make Saturday but will be interesting to see the turnout.

Speaking of the visibility of thought processes... How much frothing and reporting and general hand-wringing would be going on if a Brexit-voter had posted a picture of a noose in response to a post discussing a foreigner...?

human contact is overrated.

That explains an awful lot about you..

We're planning on going. Taking the dog too. On a string.

Following one of the anti-capitaist marches a few (many) years ago two rasta sporting hippy types where on the bus complete with dog on a string. A fiesty old lady from East London absolutely battered them about having a wash and getting a job. She got a few mentions in about the war and how we hadn't fought amd died so they could be tramps. Tremendous stuff, beat live rant I have ever seen 🙂

Nope not going on the march, will have a celebration on Wed 29th though.

What should the Remoaners equivalent of a pussy hat look like? Something bold and clear in message... 😉

I assume you concealed the fact that you were masturbating at the time jamba? That kind of jingoistic "we didn't fight a war..." talk must have given you the right old horn.

It was a joke but you're right, it was in very poor taste (and anything to do with "foreigners" hadn't crossed my mind). I'll remove the offending post.

Not that it has any relevance to this thread: I don't know, and no.

Guess not

Do you think the considerations and concerns of the 48% - plus the 1.5 million 16-18 year olds who weren't given a vote - should now be brushed aside?

"**** the 48%"

Sat 25th?

I'm busy getting on with my life that day.

plus the 1.5 million 16-18 year olds who weren't given a vote - should now be brushed aside?

Don't forget all the weasels, stoats and badgers who were denied a vote!

But lets not count the otters - leavers, the lot of 'em.

For those that would prefer a more relevant march on Saturday, they'll be one in Uppermill and Yarm. It's a joint demonstration to get these two great towns back into the fold that is Yorkshire. Freeeeeedommmm

It was only the older uneducated otters that voted out

Ageist!

16,000 claiming that they will turn up. Given the electorate that isn't a lot of people.

I do hope that the BBC will video the protest with the nice wide lens they used for Trump's inauguration, rather than using a telephoto to make it seem like there is a sea of people there.

Me too.

Got to show support for something you believe in though, rather than become "one of them"

Mince for Europe would be a more accurate description.

Cancelled due yesterday's events.

It's not.

[i] "The streets are as busy as ever, the offices full, the coffee shops and cafés bustling. As I speak, millions will be boarding trains and aeroplanes to travel to London and to see from themselves the greatest city on earth."

[b]"It is in these actions, millions of acts of normality, that we find the best response to terrorism[/b]"[/i]

- Theresa May

It's not often that I agree with Theresa May but here I do, except the bit about "the greatest city on earth", let's not get carried away.

Just going by this ..... I guess it might still be on but they feel it insensitive to go.

I'm pretty sure that was a fraud email zippy. Not sure if their email was hacked or what. Nevertheless, the march is going ahead. Police have advised that they're happy to go with it, but contingency plans may have to be put in place to change the route.

Thanks for the heads up.
What a very strange thing to happen.
JHJ better get on to it.
Edit..[img] [/img]

It is, FB is alight with it right now.

There are marches with good reasons but this march is pointless because the process of leaving EU bureaucratic system is already certainty.

Stay home to celebrate a new beginning by embracing the future Not try to destroy it after all it is the will of the people.

A dislike for the [b]EU bureaucratic system[/b] has nothing to do with the EU people.

Chewk is right you must [b]BLINDLY OBEY THE WILL OF THE BREXIT BURAEUCRACY[/b]

Of course the alt-right are using the terror attack to try and stop people from marching.

Sadly blind nationalism is all the rage these days
