MAJOR ANTI-BREXIT DEMONSTRATION IN OLD LONDON TOWN

by Bob Walsh

Several hundred thousand anti-Brexit demonstrators showed their irritation on Saturday, wasting their own time and pissing off a lot of people.

Protesting against Brexit now is sort of like holding a demonstration against Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Its all over. It is a done deal. There is only one question now. Will Brexit occur on April 12 or May 22? That's it. If Parliament agrees to some sort of a "divorce deal" the E. U. will give it until May 22. (That day is important because of E. U. elections on May 23.) If Parliament can not agree, the ties get cut on April 12 and everybody will then see what happens.

It will take an action by the Speaker to even bring the issue up for a third vote as there is a parliamentary rule against repeatedly voting on the same thing.

It is at least theoretically possible for the P. M. to shitcan the original Brexit vote but she has said repeatedly that she will not invalidate the will of the people as expressed by the original Brexit vote nearly three years ago. In addition the E. U. has indicated (though not necessarily stated outright) that they will not consider any action by the U. K. to stay with the E. U., at least at this time.
