Anti-Brexit March - now on 2nd July (9th July rally has since disappeared from internet)


Recommended Posts

I've already sent over 400 invites on Facebook...and I'm mentioning it here too. However, I'm unable to post the link on here - so if anyone, who wants to, can, I'd be grateful. Thanks.


If you aren't interested in this - fair enough, but should you want to engage with me in that regard please note that I shall not be participating. I just want to alert those who may be interested in this mass demonstration.


I hope you are OK with this - Admin.

Thanks, but this isn't the link. I cannot now find it anywhere and it has also disappeared from my Facebook page. Also there is no sign of it on my "activity log". What the fekk!? I'm wondering whether the invites have been intercepted too. I'm not happy about this at all.


Could FB have taken it down? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? (6)

You are right, Loz. Any clues as to why that might be? Last time I looked over 10,000 people had said they would attend. :-S

Me too. Not because I think the this decision will be reversed now but because I think when someone feels very strongly about something, that feeling needs to be expressed publicly so all our politicians and the world understands the depth of feeling.

Yep, and this one will probably do about as much good.


But then again, I went to that one and will be going to this one.

heading Laddy Muck so the date is right?


The protest rally on the 2nd is not the same as the march which was to take place on the 9th (details of the latter have since disappeared). Yes, I can see how the title, as it stands, may cause confusion and/or frustration...so will amend. Thanks Sue.

Here is a link to the march to parliament on Sat July 2nd which starts in Park Lane from 11am - https://www.facebook.com/events/244646665920554/

I can't find much out about this one in the news or on the met website so am not sure how organised/ big it will be but worth going to find out!!If anyone knows more about it please let me know. There seem to be and have been several different ones recently while I was away - we need one mass protest drawing people from all over the country, like the anti poll tax and anti war in Iraq ones.

We were there too. Was a good afternoon once the weather cheered up.


Toffee, leavers seems to think they also voted against the right for people to campaign and march for things they believe in. The 48%, or some of them, have every right to make sure government doesn't forget about their views too, especially as there is lots to play for through EU negotiations.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
