This Saturday, thousands of protesters have marched through central London calling for the UK to rejoin the EU. The national rejoin march saw large crowds of people walk from Park Lane to Parliament Square. Parliament Square Garden, the last stop on the march, saw a sea of blue and yellow as supporters waved EU flags and carried placards.
The crowd booed as a large digital screen overlooking Parliament Square Garden showed pictures of leave-voting figures such as Johnson, Priti Patel and Nigel Farage. The crowd also chanted “Tories out” and booed when speakers discussed the prospect of Johnson running to become prime minister again.
Tony Harold from Poole, who works in the share market, said that Brexit affected him as he has a property in Spain. He said: “We’ve seen the damage and it’s all been downhill ever since it started. Personally, I have a second home in Spain, and I’ve been impacted directly. It puts me very much top of the pile. But I’ve seen the benefits of the EU, and free movement, both myself and other people around me.”
“It allows you to come and go as you will and it enriches lives. It makes people better, it gives more of a life experience and it’s very sad to see that go.”
