There might be metaphor here somewhere.... Read that it was great, and sheltering in a single bus shelter lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Top Cats Hat   10 #62 Posted March 19, 2019 Some irreverent wags have set up a fake website which looks just like the genuine one but re-routes the march to Brussels!  https://marchtoleave.co.uk/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Top Cats Hat   10 #64 Posted March 19, 2019 Someone who was up in Wetherby today was talking to the people driving the 'Led by Donkeys'  display board truck and they say that everywhere they have stopped since Hartlepool the opposition has outnumbered the march. 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I believe at least half a dozen of those - the guys in the blue visibility jackets - are security or some kind of officials.  It's an utter embarassment and I feel sorry for them. Just like Brexit itself, they've been sold an absolute dummy by rogues and charlatans, and just like Brexit they will be the ones who suffer, while the likes of Farage and Lawson and Dyson use the fortunes to either insulate themselves from the impact.  I would feel sorry for these people, but if they can't see that Farage not even having the decency to walk himself is a slap in the face to them, then my sympathy is limited.
