Protests are on 20 February for international migrant day and 25 March for the EU.
Unfortunately brexit is, I think, seen as us (UK) vs them (EU) not trump bigotry VS be a better USA... :/
Bar calling general elections which we the voters cannot force, I'm not sure what can be done. Don't forget Trump is still working away, and the courts only have power to intervene.

I look at the situation in the US and, while it is pretty alarming, I am inspired by the widespread resistance to Trump's presidency. It is active, visible, and mostly positive.
By contrast, we seem to be sleep-walking into Brexit, and no-one appears to be doing much of significance about it. I'm not sure why not? Is it our stiff upper lip, our 'mustn't grumble' mindset, or something else?
While I hold out hope that the Americans may be able to over-turn (or at least seriously constrain) Trump, it seems highly unlikely that we will do anything meaningful with regard to Brexit. Or am I missing something?
