Now: The Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU petition has just passed 5 million.

Yesterday: The Guardian: Put it to the People march: a formidable sea of humanity and powerful strength of feeling
They came to London from across Britain and Europe, filled with enthusiasm for the new three Rs: revoke, remain, reform

Last week: Christchurch shootings: The people killed as they prayed
In order to remember the victims, not the killer.

A friend of mine was in that march! He tends to feel awkward about participating in things like protest marches, but he thought this one was important enough.

[elisi]

A lot of people felt the same, I think.

(I'd have gone, except London is far away and we do not have the money.)

[wolfy_writing]

Yeah, my friend said it's very English to feel awkward about marching and shouting.

(Understandable. He lived in London, so he was right there.)

[elisi]

Yes the English are not comfortable with protesting, the way, say, the French are...

One of the most English signs I've seen...

[elisi]

Oh. My. God.

That is the most perfect thing I have ever seen.

I was at the march. It was amazing. :) So many people! Very friendly too. Lots of cheering and chanting. It took us from 1.30 to 4:30 to get from Park Lane to Trafalgar Square - we missed all the speeches by then that was okay, I'm happy to have been there.

"What do we want? People's Vote! When do we want it? NOW!"

"Hey Hey Theresa May, Let us have the final say!"

"Bollocks to Brexit!"

:)

I was cheering everyone from afar! (Well, Yorkshire, but that's pretty far.)

[sea_thoughts]

Exhausted now but it was great to be there.

[elisi]

You done good, all of you!!!

I think we had an effect on Parliament despite the BBC black out.

[elisi]

I definitely think so. Plus the petition which keeps climbing...

[sea_thoughts]

The petition is amazing.

[elisi]

Watching the numbers go up makes me happy. :)

I hope the UK gets to remain. That whole vote was a farce. Half the country didn't seem to get what it meant - and with the Tories driving, that should not be a surprise *sigh*

[elisi]

Ugh, right wing politics. :(

It's awful that the madness has reached New Zealand. I'd sort of thought of them as out of the tide of violence, sort of exempt. Wrong.

[elisi]

I hear ya. :( Although at least they're doing something about guns.
