• A backdrop of years of right wing media lies about the EU and immigrants
• dog whistle racism used to encourage anti-immigrant hysteria
• the fact that immigration from outside the EU has always been higher, in some years much higher, than from the EU
• the fact that our Government has had the ability for some time now to control EU migration but chose not to use it
• the fact that the country was not told that the vote would leave them, and the country, poorer

Yes, the list is endless but all of this does not matter one whit. You see, this is a religious thing. It always has been. Facts and evidence mean nothing if you have Faith. They are, by definition, incompatible.

Here is a Leave voter that represents the end of the Leave spectrum but he really believes this stuff and there are a lot like him:

"Let's get back to being the British Empire" - this leave voter at the #SaveBrexitRally in Harrogate explains why he doesn't want a #PeoplesVote

Yes, I know, I will get the same old crap about "I know what I voted for", "the EU is corrupt" and "Jean-Claude Juncker ate my goldfish" but I don't care.

This whole process is a Tory debacle: a rats in a sack civil war that is taking the country down with it. I for one am not happy to watch this play out and do nothing. I did my bit and I am proud of it. I stood up for what I think is right.

Last thought, for the literal amongst you: if you have a march of 500,000 that means there are many, many more in the country who support you: those who could not make the journey for myriad of reasons.

This is democracy in action: the people trying to stop the country being taken down by a cabal of elites, political opportunists and free market capitalists.

Time for dinner

In years to come you can say i was there just before we left the EU, that's me in the photo waving a bit of cardboard around ,we were all fighting for a common cause [The we hate Trump,universal credit,the Tories,Nigel Farage,borris,david davis and brexit] campaign, dumbocracy in action, it was a nice day out and the bus was free.
