That's a lot of people. They are carrying EU flags. I hope they hold another vote and can brexit. I saw a sign that said "Bin Brexit".

We need to be out marching like that regularly.

I hope they will have a vote to shit-can it. I was trying not swear when I posted that. I am in favor of this march and I hope they stay in the EU.

the time that I was watching the BBC feed they were showing the large crowd from a drone or something and the few close shots I saw were all anti-brexit marchers. I got drowsy and went back to bed for a while.

I was glad you made an OP about it, I forgot about the whole thing after pondering the shitshow we have going on here. I got overwhelmed and had to sleep it off!

If this vote on the Letwin amendment passes, BoJo will have to request a Brexit extension. DUP are voting against it.
I expect Bojo to be humiliated yet again.
322 to 306 - Down goes Bojo!!!
