The anti-Brexit ‘Put It To The People March’ will be held in less than a month
A march in favour of a second referendum on Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union has received over a quarter of a million pounds in donations within days of being launched.
The ‘Put It To The People March’ is set to be held in London on 23 of March and follows in excess of 500,000 coming together last October in favour of another vote on Brexit.
The route of the march will take protesters from Park Lane to Parliament Square, where a variety of speakers will deliver speeches against Brexit.
The donations page for the rally reads: “On the 23 of March, just six days before the Government hopes to take Britain out of the EU, hundreds of thousands of people will march on Parliament offering a solution to a crisis that threatens their living standards, businesses and jobs. We demand a People’s Vote, and come 23 March, it could be a case of now or never.”
Of the protest, Independent Group MP Anna Soubry told the London Evening Standard earlier this week: “There is now a real danger that this is going to go right down to the wire. The Prime Minister appears intent on holding the long-awaited meaningful vote as late as possible, in the hope of pressuring MPs into backing what they know is a bad deal.
“And Jeremy Corbyn appears happy to let the clock run down, rather than tabling Labour’s proposals or backing a People’s Vote.
“But come the final week of March there will be nowhere for any MP to hide, which is why this march could be of historic significance. Parliament will need a way out, and the demand will be loud and clear: put short term party politics aside, put Britain’s national interest first. Put it to the people.”
