The Peoples Vote March - Biggest since Iraq
21 Oct 2018
Nearly 700,000 people attended the march to demand a people's vote on the final terms of any Brexit deal..
Making it the second largest UK protest this century after the Stop the War demonstration in 2003
Lib Dem Leader Sir Vince Cable, Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas and MPs from the main political parties together with a wide range of individuals from business, sport and entertainment addressed the crowd in Parliament Square which included members and supporters from East Suffolk Lib Dems. The Leader of the SNP has now added their support for a vote but unsurprisingly there was no sign of the Leader of the Opposition.
Earlier, the Lib Dem leader, Vince Cable, said
"It was a tragedy this country is being divided by generation, the majority of his generation that voted to leave, taking the freedom away from young voters. There is no deal better than the one we have now. It is better for Britain and better for Europe," he said to cheers.
All that is needed is the resolve of hundreds of millions of men and women to do right instead of wrong and to gain as their reward blessing instead of cursing.
