So, what's 'extreme'?

Is it extreme to want for your kids to study and work in the EU? #ErasmusPlus

Is it extreme to want touring musicians to be able to travel and play in the EU without a carnet for every musical instrument and untold restrictions on shipping the kits? @eufestivaluk

Is it extreme to want to keep benefits such as zero roaming charges, pet passports and no borders queues at airports and ferry terminals?

Is it extreme to think that two sets of standards and certification just adds to post Brexit business costs for no benefits?

Is it extreme to consider that international scientific collaboration (from which the UK benefited disproportionately) is worth preserving? #Horizon Europei

Is it extreme to reflect on how the UK benefited from long-term regional development planning under the EU Structural Funds and think that the UK so-called 'leveling up' agenda falls well short? #Cohesion

Is it extreme to bemoan the damage done to sectors such as fisheries and farming, in spite of pre-brexit promises to the contrary? @SaveBritishFood

Is it extreme to worry when @trussliz quips that the jury is out on whether @EmmanuelMacron is friend or foe in relation to one of our staunchest allies?

The #MarchForRejoin reflects these and many other MAINSTREAM concerns, reflecting the views of ordinary people about the impact of #Brexit on their lives, loves and livelihoods. @MarchForRejoin

It's a family friendly event to make visible and audible the rising concerns at #BrexitReality largely ignored by media - including @BBCNews. So in a weird way, maybe we should be grateful to @Daily_Express for the publicity.

There is no plausible sense in which #MarchForRejoin is 'extreme' or anti democratic. There are compelling arguments urgently to improve relations with the EU, and some steps could quickly and easily resolve #NIProtocol issues.i

Those arguments are neither extreme, nor undemocratic. To dub them so bears all the hallmarks of a craven client media pandering to an increasingly authoritarian regime that deems legitimate protests 'unpatriotic'.

Now THAT'S what I call extreme and undemocratic. BTW do check out @maitlis #MacTaggart lecture and decide whether the frog 🐸 is already cooked.

Many will be on #MarchForRejoin but #CostOfLivingCrisis will make it hard for many to go and @AvantiWestCoast hasn't helped with travel plans.
So tell @GlasgowlovesEu if you can't make it and we'll put your name on a ✨️ and march for you!

So, don't ever let legitimate protest be "normalised" as extreme or undemocratic (#Suffragettes, #MartinLutherKing, #PussyRiot anyone?). Look forward to #MarchForRejoin. @GrassrootsEU @euromovescot @WalesForEurope @euromove @GlasgowlovesEu
