It seems odd that a democratic protest in the UK against the direction the country is taking, which is of great interest around the world, should not be considered worthy of a mention on UK TV news bulletins.

With no Brexit Benefits apparent and with changing demographics playing a natural part, the move back to the EU seems inexorable. “It’s going to happen anyway, so why delay?” as Professor A C Grayling said in his speech at the march.

    It’s not going to happen anytime soon, but it’s still worth talking about now. I really think that, short of an implosion of the EU, we will inevitably rejoin.

    That may be very far into the future, but there’s no reason to not sow the seeds now. It promotes us building relationships with the EU as well, which is something we desperately need, as opposed to the “scrap EU regulations for the sake of it” approach.

      I think we’ll see a significantly more pragmatic approach once the Tories are gone. I’d expect Labour and the Libs to be significantly more open to both healing our damaged relationships, and forging ahead with whatever comes next. The current lot seem to have wedded themselves to the idea that it’s ‘Us Vs Them’ for the betterment of, well themselves.
