For £50 you will get a cagoule, a 'leave means leave' beanie hat, and a one night stay in a B&B. Farage is likening it to the famous Jarrow march in the 1930s, in which hundreds of hungry men marched to London to highlight their plight. Farage too hopes to evoke the sympathy of the nation for these poor souls. It has been labelled the 'Gammonball Run' Will you be joining the marchers? Too busy , but i will be raising a pint to him .

I see from post above that the glorious leader isn't even walking the whole route. Pretty vile of Farage to reference real working class hardship to promote this anti-working class march!

blackydog 40 #29 Posted March 6, 2019 Nope I won't be joining the march as I don't want to leave. Farage does what he does for Farage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

gomgeg 10 #31 Posted March 6, 2019 It's likely not many will turn up. The one who voted for brexit will probably be working, the ones who usually turn up on demo's generally have too much time on their hands and are wanting to spend other people's money.

Should be a few million at least if the only person in work who voted brexit will be at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

This 'march' will be populated by that bunch of coked up buffoons usually seen shouting and bullying journalist at Wee Tommy Robinson events along with a rag tag of older UKIP types.

Ridgewalk 97 #35 Posted March 6, 2019 Be a bit difficult for all the gammon porkers. On second thoughts it might do them some good Off licences on the route should do some good business with Carling, Stella, and cheap cider.

The ones who won't turn up are the malcontents who sit on their backsides and grumble about modern Britain, and how life will be better post Brexit. Given that it was pensioners who mainly voted to leave, I hardly think they're the ones 'too busy' to attend a demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
