Mrs EU @Parliament Square
People jam on Pall Mall
Parliament Square
We were proud to have been on the huge People's Vote March on Saturday 23rd June. There was a great friendly, carnival atmosphere. Crowd estimates vary but there were certainly more than 100,000 people marching demanding a vote on the final deal and there may have been up to 500,000 according to some estimates. There were people from all over the UK and of all age groups on the march.
The march was so big that it took us more than two and half hours to move very slowly from the western end of Pall Mall to Parliament Square.
Here are some photos from the event. The demand is that people get a chance to accept or reject the final deal, whatever it may be with an option to keep the deal we already have with the EU. It is not a second referendum but a chance to look at what is on offer.

A PS from B. Johnson, who is apparently our 'Foreign Secretary', setting out Government policy towards business and industry:
It was good to see you and also be part of this march. But 100k is a drop in the ocean and we all have to work hard to persuade others to be active alongside us in pushing for a People’s Vote and an eventual reversal of the Brexit plan. This does not mean - in my view - focussing on Brexiteers but instead trying, in the first place, to persuade those who voted to Remain, alongside us, to actual believe we can and must agitate to reverse this ghastly and potentially catastrophic decision. There is much too much apathy and resignation about.
