Why I'm marching

Completely against leaving the EU. Married to an EU citizen, German, live partly in France and the UK, whilst often visiting her ageing parents. Why would we wish to strip ourselves of rights we currently enjoy? Why would we wish to give up reciprocal health care coverage, freedom of movement for both of us, RIGHTS to stay where and when we wish in any respective place of interest or requiement, within the EU?


More than the personal, as someone who had an international business career, prospects of putting up barriers to business seems absurd. We can currently do business unhindered, cover clients easily all over the EU, ~ 50% of our trade. To replace with hinderances, for what? To do great trade deals with Trump’s transactional US first approach, China with issues there, India with its own requirements, Mercosur, where the EU already has a trade deal, Japan, the same, Canada the same. All for what? We are not living now in the 19C, where these trade considerations were then prevalent. No needs reminding, our global stance was somewhat different in those distant days to today.


Immigration. We need EU skills and talents. Look at the NHS, where shortages are already acute. Control of this, we have had complete p control of non EU immigration, but this has not been well managed; this is a complete home grown home office own goal I suggest.

Any deal is worse than what we already have. I fear for my young adult children’s future. I cannot understand why anyone would want to be willing to lose so much, am astounded at the brexiteers arguments for leaving.

To protect employment rights and free employment tribunals. To save trade unions. To retain freedom of movement. To protect UK from unaccountable corrupt governments. I value diversity and equality. I don’t want to be trapped on an small island with the corrupt Tories.

Marching as a UK citizen in Europe to stay in the EU the best deal we will ever have. My voice and that of my British/European was not heard in the referendum – barred from voting due to EU residency.

I’m marching for a better future as this current rightwing cadre has held us hostage long enough. Britain deserves to get it’s international reputation back by rejecting this Trumpianesque thuggery of the ERG and Johnsons Tory chums

For a people’s vote on the brexit deal, and this must have the option to remain in the EU, I am certain the majority of people will vote to remain in the EU after they now know the implications of leaving will mean, certainly nearly everybody who I have spoken to, who originally voted to leave have made it perfectly clear that they regretted voting to leave in the original referendum, and now would vote to remain, Boris Johnson and the rest of his cronies know this, and this is why he is dead against a second referendum.

I fear that Brexit is a threat to all the hard won rights we have gained over the past three decades,I am particularly concerned about the threat to the GFA,and the return of violence to the island of Ireland ,its not just the border between N and S it’s the effect it will have on people’s minds, I believe the EU and the GFA diluted the nationalism.The idea to hold a referendum was an appalling misjudgement,I know of two mps who voted against holding a referendum Kenneth Clarke and Ed Miliband,I believe there were 51 Iike minded mps,for their wisdom and foresight, they all ought to be named ,because as far as I am concerned they should be in government.On a personal level I am marching because I love and respect the EU with all its faults ,we could have such a progressive future as a member,I also love being a European citizen.

I am marching for free movement of people . I am devastated by the current situation in the UK .

Because none of the alternatives yet mooted are as good for our mutual security, economic prosperity , internationalism and protected environment than remaining within the EU and playing our part in making it even better. And because this is the quickest and most democratic way to settle this desperate political impasse. Besides, how can I ever believe that the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg, Mark Francois and Boris Johnson are committed to the interests of ordinary people like me?

We have had no say for 3 1/2 years after a corruptly led, illegally funded referendum. What else can we do, other than demonstrate for a People’s Vote? Historically, Geographically and Emotionally, we ARE Europeans. How can a few super- rich men hold us to ransom in order to further enrich themselves, while the rest of us pay the price? I am marching for the futures of my seven grandchildren and all their generation, whose careers and freedom of movement will be blighted by Brexit.

I am a European and it’s being stolen from me

I’m marching because leaving the EU is such a retrogressive step – because we live on one planet – because we need to work together to sort out global problems – because we need to share resources – because we need to think…. Because I’m a European

I’m marching because I see so many benefits to staying in the E U.

I’m marching for Europe because of my commitment to human unity

A People’s Vote is the only way to end this political catastrophe.

Stand up and be counted

I am a British European. I passionately believe that our place is with our European brethren in a peaceful and unified Europe. I execrate and utterly repudiate the lies, the hatred and the schism that this abysmal situation has given rise to. We must Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU, proud partners and members of the Family of European Nations.

I am marching because Brexit is the biggest scam ever played on our nation,it has to be stopped

I am marching to protest at the subversion of democracy that has given rise to Brexit. The lies told, the hatred engendered, the schism created between British people needs to be confronted and exposed for what it is: an attempted coup by far-right, self-interests who have managed to dupe the public into thinking that it’s for their good, whereas the opposite is the truth. Personally, I would prefer a straightforward revocation of Article 50 to avoid the inevitable ramp up of lies and hatred that will come from the Leave-supporting side. But, if there is to be a referendum, we must, this time, be better prepared to counter the populist rabble-rousing that will come from the other side.

I’m marching because we need a Peoples Vote after all the Brexit lies and false promises of 2016 have come to nothing. Our country deserves better than this government and this rotten Brexit policy.

For my Daughter’s future

The humanity needs to be moving together not apart to deal with the existential issues facing us all. We are stronger and better together. I am first a human being then a European and only then British. Whatever that means.

I have never felt anything other than European. Britain belongs in the EU and benefits from it in countless ways!

EU = Peace, People, Power, Prosperity, and Protection. Heseltine’s speech at the march summarized it for me

Because I believe in democracy and the people should have a say. I voted remain and want to be a member of the EU. The 48% have been pushed aside by the Govt.

I am marching because i think the 48% have been marginalised since the referendum, the 52% were lied to, and 100% of the population did not know and understand then what we know and understand now about what it means to leave the EU. Since the referendum TM has unilaterally taken things in her own hands. Bullied and controlled. Negotiations have been ill informed and arrogant. We now are in a real mess and crisis. It is time for the people to decide.

Freedom of movement

Because there is nothing good about Brexit.

Because we are now the majority - in truth, we’ve probably always been the majority - and we deserve to be heard, not dismissed.

I do not want to leave the EU
