Brexit: Madrid to host protest to demand People’s Vote
In London on Saturday, just six days before Britain is (currently) scheduled to leave the European Union, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets to demand that the public is given a final say on any Brexit deal.
The “Put It To The People March” will begin at noon on Park Lane for a march to Parliament Square.
Among those leading the calls for for a People’s Vote will be Britons resident in Spain, with a large contingent flying over to London especially for the event – among them members of Bremain in Spain.
Sue Wilson, chair of Bremain in Spain, will be flying over to join the march to Westminster along with around 100 members of the campaign group.. “We’ve supported the campaign for another referendum from the start, and we’ve actively campaigned to give the British public another say in this debate. The Brexit that was sold was a lie, a fantasy, a pipe-dream. The British public deserves a chance to think again.”
“The June 2016 referendum result started a Brexit nightmare for UK citizens living in the EU and EU citizens living in the EU. Since then, we’ve been working together to make our voices heard. We’ve been side-lined and silenced for too long. On Saturday, we’ll be loud and proud and demanding
another referendum. Although most of us couldn’t vote on our own futures in June 2016, and it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to vote in the next referendum, we wholeheartedly support a #PeoplesVote.”
Wilson concludes: “The public must be able to make an informed decision based on the facts, not the fantasy. We must establish if Brexit really is the ‘will of the people’ before making this momentous decision. It’s the only way forward that can start to heal the divisions created by Brexit. If Theresa May can keep asking parliament the same question, how can she deny the public a second chance? As our new banner says: we want a voice, a vote and a final say, because Brexit is bonkers!”

Why Britons in Spain need to fight for another Brexit referendum
There is an unfortunate but prevalent stereotype that British migrants in Spain are all pensioners who laze around, sunning it on the coast.
They lie on their loungers, maybe occasionally skipping off for a round of golf or a game of bridge with their retired friends, all the while refusing to learn the language or mingle with locals. If they want to make a concession to Spanish culture, they might swap gin and tonics for a jug of sangria every now and then.
Not only is that image unfortunate, it is untrue. Around three-quarters of British migrants in Spain are members of younger, working families who are taking advantage of the opportunities the European Union offers them.
The pattern is similar across the EU27 – 80% of Brits in these countries are young people who are greatly appreciative of how they have been welcomed with open arms.

Bremain in Spain celebrates huge turnout at People’s Vote march
MEMBERS of the 5,000-strong Bremain in Spain association are celebrating a turnout of an estimated 700,000 people at the People’s Vote march in London on Saturday (October 20).
The rally, organised by the People’s Vote campaign, called for a vote on any final Brexit deal between the UK and the EU. Wide-ranging groups, including Bremain in Spain and Españoles de Reino Unido, attended from across the UK and Europe.
Brits from Malaga and Granada take part in biggest anti-Brexit march since referendum
Brits living in Malaga and Granada provinces were among those who travelled to London from all corners of Europe and the UK for last Saturday’s People’s Vote march.
The march was organised by The People’s Vote campaign group which wants the government to hold a referendum on the final Brexit deal.
While no official statistics have been released, estimates range from 700,000 people to one million attending the event.
Pat Laing, who lives in Malaga, flew back to the UK especially for the march. She said, “I went because not a day has gone by since the June 2016 referendum when I haven’t been furious about the whole Brexit referendum campaign.”
She added that “the arrogant complacency of the Remain campaign, the lies, manipulation and the illegal funding of the Leave campaign, the effects of 40 years of negative narrative about the EU that the UK population have been fed, but most of all the risk to peace and harmony in Ireland that Brexit represents” all compelled her to be at what could well be the final protest of its kind before the UK leaves the EU, on 29 March next year.

Rishi Sunak’s premiership has been defined by chaos.
Since he took over in October 2022, his Government’s permanent state of disarray has cost taxpayers £8,200,000,000 and resulted in 314 wasted days. Here’s the full breakdown of the cost of chaos.
#SunaksCostOfChaos…
IT might have been the Easter weekend but that hasn't prevented the publication of two important opinion polls, both of which concur in painting a truly dire picture for the Tories .
#ToryAniliation
Labour has launched a new website on the “cost of chaos” under Rishi Sunak, claiming that his government’s “permanent state of disarray” will cost the taxpayer £8.2bn and result in 314 “wasted days”.

“There are 8 million people in this country in housing need, plus millions more who have a roof over their head in the private rented sector but live with the fear of arbitrary eviction or rents rising beyond their reach”
It’s shocking & the response from politicians is feeble
