Why I'm marching

Because I feel so frustrated by the process, and this is something constructive.

The 2016 referendum was about the principle of Brexit only. There was no costed plan. The Executive does not have the authority to take the country on any particular course without ratification of the current plan by the electorate.

I will be marching because it is better to cooperate with our neighbors, working together for a better future for us all. It is better to integrate different nationalities and creeds than to keep our distance not trying to understand or not accept our differences. It is better discuss and agree in a parliament policies for the future than to stand alone and erect barriers between our closest allies.

I’ve spent 21 years serving my country both in the Royal Navy and NHS. It breaks my heart to see the country I love tearing itself apart. I’ll be marching to defend it from the charlatans that led us here and to give my daughter the future she deserves. The behaviour of parliament in denying a confirmatory vote is exactly the undemocratic behaviour Brexiteers decry. Proud to be part of the 48% and disgusted at being completely unrespesented since June 2016. The divisions won’t heal without a confirmatory vote. Give the decision back to the people now we know more. Then move forward and fix the things that caused brexit in the first place.

I am marching because I believe that leaving the Europe Union is wrong for our country . Ok the organisation needs reform but as one of its largest economies we should be in there reforming ! We need to stay for the sake of our country’s security our economy and the futures of our children and grandchildren! Brexit is a disaster we need to vote again now we know what it will mean !

I’m marching because there are no benefits to the UK from Brexit. Our people will be poorer, we will be less secure and our role in the World will be diminished. I don’t believe the British people voted for that. The electorate was duped and the referendum was flawed.

I am marching for common sense for the future of my children for peace for freedom of movement

This country has had enough problems over the years and normal people suffer enough everyday. There is no need for brexit. It is ill-informed hubris and economic vandalism and politicians should know better!

To end the rise of the right, to save our nation from further global embarrassment, to support our disenfranchised EU citizens, to save our economy, for peace, for ldren and grandchildren’s future, above all, to #RevokeArticle50 and #Remain

I am marching for my children’s future and for our country’s future. For the chance to stop Brexit through a 2nd vote with Remain as an option. I am marching for peace in Europe.

Because Arron Banks extra money probably was that 2% difference SO the result was warped, unfair and illegal. AND it’s not over until the ink hits the fan. I am European before I identify as British.

Because the European Project is one of the most important in my lifetime. It has enabled close links between European COUNTRIES and people, it has provided a safe context for Eastern European countries to become independent of the USSR (which we landed them in after WW2, it has increased standards (environmental, social and economic), and Europe is a wonderful, diverse yet very connected place in which we can move, work and play. We are far more alike than we are to the USA despite language. What on earth can we invent that is better?? Brexit is the most crazy, destructive idea, and will result in a poorer UK in all respects.

I am marching to get parliament to agree to a people’s vote to reverse brexit. The referendum shouldn’t have been legally binding in the first place, most of the leave voters did not know what they were voting for. Lies were told, therefore the outcome should be void. I don’t want my right to freedom of movement taken away from me. I don’t want higher prices in the shops and I don’t want house prices to fall when I have a mortgage. Brexit has already affected my place of work, where all our staff now have high anxiety levels, as no one knows what will happen to their jobs due to the outcome of Brexit. It is not in the interest in our country to not be having a say in the European parliament. We should be building bridges, not walls and not cutting ourselves off to our closest trading partners.

For the future of my children and grandchildren

I am marching along with my husband as we fundamentally believe this is wrong for our country. We have friends who voted Leave in protest, they did not understand what they were voting for – they want to Remain now. We have friends whose adult children are losing their jobs now, as a direct result of Brexit. We have two children who are having their future career opportunities reduced. We will lose freedom of movement. We lose our credibility (although sadly that’s already gone). An advisory Referendum ‘became’ a binding Referendum. Manipulation by outside influences. I have had enough and will be marching to show my alliance to Europe, which does not mean losing our Sovereignty

I’m marching to defend our right to work, live and love in any of the wonderful countries of the EU

I am marching to retain the rights people fought for. I am marching for the ability to continue to live, work and live across Europe. I am marching against xenophobia, hatred and racism and what increasingly looks like a right wing coup. I am marching because we need to stand up for both what is right and the rights that are being stripped from us. I am marching for those who could not vote or who were denied the vote so their voices are not ignored. I am marching for the opportunity to vote in a fair and legal poll that doesn’t disenfranchise those most affected by its result.

I’m marching so that the British public can have the final say in a People’s Vote. I’m marching for the future of my children and grandchildren and yours, too. I’m marching to ensure that racism and xenophobia do not win. I’m marching so that the well being of the country isn’t sacrificed at the altar of Tory party unity. I’m marching because I am a citizen of the world…and because TM doesn’t want me to!

I’m marching because I believe in Europe. They invested far more in our deprived areas than our government ever did. I personally worked on several European funded projects that helped build community and upskill people left behind by a cruel, cold UK government. I’m marching to fight for what I believe in, to respect the communities I helped and not take this shift to isolation laying down.

I’m marching because I’m a scientist, and leaving the EU will damage UK science and set us back years on research in countless sectors. That’s just one reason: there are so many! It’s just bonkers to continue with Brexit.

I’m marching because we deserve to have a vote on the final deal. No one voted for what we seem to be getting. Voters were misled and lied to. Others didn’t turn out because they were convinced by the media, and social media, that there was no chance Brexit was going to be passed. The people should have the final say.

For the welfare of my grand-children. For the security of our country. For keeping the Kingdom United. For protecting our people against the rapacious rich and the ultra-right.

#RevokeArticle50 because this is ridiculous now. If there is trouble, it is the government’s fault for putting us in this impossible situation.

I campaigned to Remain in Aberdeen, where I was living at the time – and the city voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU, as did my current hometown, Edinburgh. The Leavers may think that they have the loudest voices, thanks to Farage and his cronies, but I am marching to show that there is a majority out there that are not happy with the way the first referendum was run, and that are certainly not happy with how Brexit has been managed by the Tories, or even opposed by Labour. The people want a final say on any deal, and a People’s Vote is the only way to achieve this.

I was 17 years old when the Berlin Wall came down. I travelled around the whole of Europe the following summer, watching people’s joy at barriers coming down. It staggers me that we are proposing to erect new barriers between us and Europe. I march for the sake of my children.

I didn’t think we’d still be here in 2019!!!
