Despite a cold day. We had a strong turnout for a big campaigning day in locations around Chester. It took a while to get things warmed up as people were reluctant to stop. But soon it got busier and we had a steady stream of people to the stall.

We had some musical and historical accompaniment whilst we chatted to people around the town. There is often a Roman or two around the place giving historical context to the city of Chester. Help us be able to instruct the town crier that brexit is dead soon. #StopBrexit

The streets got busy as there were stalls celebrating #InternationalWomansDay and here are just 3 of our lovely key members of Chester for Europe enjoying the atmosphere.

Unlike the 2016 referendum when nearly 5 million people and 16-17 year olds were denied a voice despite being most affected by the outcome, nobody was disenfranchised on our stall, everyone got a #FinalSayForAll here. All we want is a real #peoplesvote Mrs. May.

The team at Blacon spoke to our MP @ChrisM4Chester who told us that he will be proud to march with our group on the 23rd of March in London. Thankyou Chris. That’s going to be an amazing day. See our website for information if you want to come with us.

Blacon backs a #peoplesvote by the way 👏👍

An interesting Leaver conversation today. His view was the nation had voted to leave and should go out on an orderly ship but he felt there was mutiny in the ranks. An interesting use of rather authoritarian terminology. We would characterise his analogy in a different way.

The govt is trying to force us to sail out to discover a previously undiscovered place despite the fact the world is pretty well mapped out already. The ship’s full of holes. May is trying to bale out the water in the bottom whilst shouting at everyone to keep rowing like mad.

The ERG want us to jump in and swim without lifebelts, soft leavers and some defeatist remainers want us to get into a ship that hasn’t actually been built and we just want a chance to vote to go home because frankly we’re fed up of rowing and the promised nirvana does not exist.

We had a team on the bridge at Handbridge speaking to passers by and handing out leaflets. There was lots of interest in our bus to London on the 23rd March.

In Frodsham our @EuropeWeaver team experienced strong support and interest in a #PeoplesVote despite the cold and blustery weather conditions.

That’s the Brexitometer result from Frodsham - looking good Gareth.

So overall, more and more people are saying they are fed up with brexit, more people want to stop it and are interested in having a #FinalSay and there are fewer loud and insistent leavers which is why the poll of polls keeps showing this result.

If you agree you can help us. Write email or call your MP now and tell them you want to #makeitstop and you want parliament to #PutItToThePeople. Come to our march on 23rd March in London. We are organising coaches from #chester.
