Amazingly, some were all three.
Remainers: When are you taking to the streets?

You don't see this vote being divided along social class?

Sure never claimed otherwise just making the point that while marches/demonstrations have their value it's the day to day stuff that people do in their communities/workplaces that are the most important political actions.

Of course. But marches can provide a great way for political 'newbies' or those not living in active communities to meet and interact with such people and maybe get more involved.
Some of the unpleasant sneering and opprobrium hurled at yesterday's marchers by posters here has been quite depressing to read.

The trouble is though Blairs just the tip of a spear. He's a mouthpiece for a cabal who still wield a lot of power and influence within politics and media . People who actually can get the vote overturned . And who probably will .
Particularly if you have a quick gander at the list of previous referenda results they didn't like across the EU
That's a major reason why someone like myself gets the jitters when I see these marches and petitions accompanied by calls from the elite to overturn the result because people voted wrong. Been here before, twice already . They'll fucking do it . .

They are of PR. Arts/Commerce. I know very little about them, other than the Secret Cinema '28 Days Later' event - a film inflated into a 21st century ghost train experience that garnered some press & social media traction earlier this year. Watch the film in a spooky environment while minimum wage workers lurch around the soft drinks concession in zombie costumes. Raaaaargh.
Bob Geldof. Sir Bob Geldof, keynote speaker - made the comment to the press at the end - dunno if it was made from the platform, but it was made because of his place on the platform.

I imagine Blair will find him very useful when it comes to overthrowing the result . Which will probably happen .

Is this first hand knowledge or just a report you've heard?

The comments were made to LBC radio & reported widely across social media. I wasn't there, no.

Rather than throwing in an unfounded link with Blair, what is your criticism of his actual findings?

The totally ignoring the vote and overthrowing of democracy bit on his arbitrary say so . The embedded assumption the people who voted no were stupid and gullible as opposed to the people who voted yes . It's not the campaign that counts..it's the vote . Talk like his is used to justify coups .

Ah, right. So you'll just discount everything he says - he's only another of those pesky experts who knows what he's talking about, after all - on the bizarre premise that research like his "justifies coups."

Cheers,
So in addition to this march been used by the LibDems as a way for them to crawl out from under their rock, it's also being used to attack Corbyn. As i said at best very silly

My mum was born and bred in Inverness, from a poor family. Her dad was in the army and commited suicide when she was twelve. My grandad on my dads side was a factory worker up north. My parents did a variety of stuff throughout their lives. We were momentarily rich but also at one point lived in two rooms in a derelict flat above a shop. I have no idea what class I am, born in Bury, early childhood in Stafford, London form 13 to now. I like to think I am just classy 
.
We were out last night and none of the people we were with seemed bothered about class. You could definitely describe some of them as being from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
Nobody I know uses class to define themselves, nor lets others do so.

I'm discounting everything he says because he's arguing my fucking vote should be overturned because I'm thick . The cunt . I've heard his type of arguments used to overturn 2 previous referenda already. Im sick of it. Voting might as well be abolished and just have experts like him run the show and not have to worry about the criminally irresponsible who vote wrong . Which is what the EU is about pretty much .

A disgrace to academia.
With nothing to back up his claims other than his shock at the masses not voting in the way he wanted them to he states that the result is democracy failing. What a bellend.

At worst happy clappy, consumer freindly pr for the intended overthrow of roadblocks in the way of capital. Corbyn and brexit. Sock puppets for a Blair and Mandelson exercise . Somebody's hand is up the arses of those bozos .
That was @ Anju.

Creating conspiracies where there are none. Just because some people benefit from this doesn't mean you need a tinfoil hat.

G'wan Govey boy. Might be condemning myself but can see Corbyn breaking him. Lots of Remain voters turning Labour-ward. Unless people really are stupid enough to go Lib Dem.
