As well as the Brexit Betrayal march and the counter-demonstration in central London there is a People’s Vote and Best for Britain rally in east London today.
Lord Heseltine said:
Let us make our position clear. We are the British patriots. We want a Britain at the heart of Europe because we want the voice of Britain, the tolerance of Britain, the culture of Britain, at the heart of Europe. We are proud of our Commonwealth and empire. Our voice is their voice in Europe.
It is the Brexiteers who seek to belittle us, to undermine our influence, to slam windows, to close doors with the suggestion that our membership of the European community blunts our influence.
Several thousands of pro-brexit supporters rallied at the bottom of Whitehall listening intently to speeches from Gerrard Batten, Neil Hamilton and Carl Benjamin.
Hamilton said he had spent 50 years fighting against British integration with “the globalist European elite”. He said:
Populist movements are on the rise across Europe. Why is it that otherwise peaceful, law-abiding people are now setting Paris ablaze? It’s because they are not represented by their president, who is an agent of a foreign power.
Among those watching was Madeleine Jenkins, 72, from Brentwood. She said:
It’s a totally fake deal and we want to go to WTO rules. It shouldn’t be frightening because we don’t want to belong to a communist state. We want to be independent and I think you will find the Eastern European countries also wouldn’t want to be in what its become, because the just got out of a totalitarian state.
