Brexiteers rattled, and in retreat.

Saturday's march has sucked the wind from their sails. Their own crumbling base collapses like a dry biscuit. Brexit is the movement that never was, leaderless and rudderless. Deserted even by its bent billionaire backers.

The illegitimate baby no one wants to hold.

I'm sure a few day trippers won't affect Brexit.

It's nice to see so many well wishes in the comment section from daily mail readers.

Would explain why he was not on the March

See post 2002#.

Rather like Al Gore's film "The Inconvenient Truth".

I don't know where you have been for the last week but that was not my impression of a small minority of people mostly from the London area enjoying a nice stroll through central London and taking selfies of themselves while doing it.

I am not sure about people who take selfies anyway.

1 million is a slightly bigger turnout than the pro-Brexit march which has been reported as 100 people.

Metropolitan Police estimated the attendance at 370,000. Even if it were 1m, the number pales into insignifaicance alongside the 17.4m who voted to leave.

The only source for the figure of 1m is the March organisers, parroted endlessly by the BBC and MSM. Last time they marched they estimated 700,000 and that was revised down to 250,000 by the authorities. They have form for exaggerating things.

Source?

Does this help?

“Based on the visuals from the helicopter image, it’s between 312,000 and 400,000 people,” explains Manchester Metropolitan University’s Keith Still, a world leader in crowd science who has developed mandatory event-monitoring training for police.

Not really. As the poster claimed:

So, still waiting for a source.

Why does it matter what the attendance was? How many people went on a march doesn't set policy.

Seems fair. I like how the article estimates 200 hundred in attendance at Farages event.


So even assuming the low estimate and not the high estimate (674,000), there's still 3 orders of magnitude between the events.


I don't get the obsession with the estimates either; it seems to be a major topic of conversation for Leavers at the moment, who all seem desperate to try and invalidate the march and petition.
