My husband and I decided to go to the march yesterday, we hate Brexit and wanted to demonstrate our discontent with gov ahead of next week. We’d planned to join the left block but as we went with a friend with kids & a buggy we couldn’t get across the crowds to the meeting point
We found ourselves surrounded by a crowd of people who could be described as “very middle-class.” I spoke to one guy who was complaining about Labour/ Corbyn and asked him what he wanted Corbyn to do. He said he should argue to revoke article 50 and “be done with it.”
I asked what he thinks Corbyn should say to those who voted to Leave if he is to take this course of action, he said “you’ve been lied to and this is the right thing.” He went on to imply Leavers are all stupid. This is the type of attitude that is extremely unhelpful & just rude
Anyway, we left feeling a bit dejected. Yes I think Brexit is a mistake & we need some sort of confirmatory ref, but we also need a plan on how we heal divisions. This is just the beginning of a fight for a better Britain, I don’t think enough people understand that
