EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Yes, I don't remember being reminded of that during the pre-Referendum debates.

Interesting report on the current state of negotiations and the options for the withdrawal agreement:
https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/publications/brexit-scenarios-final_0.pdf?wpisrc=nl_todayworld&wpmm=1

Page 3 has a great (terrible) chart. 4 of the possible 5 options end in a no deal and us crashing out.

You missed the option of eternal negotiation and renegotiation.

Worth reminding people that are on the sceptical side of Brexit that there's a march on tomorrow

Going to the Belfast protest, too small here to get a march out.

May see some angry gammons shouting at us, but everybody is entitled to their passionate reponse I suppose.

I am only a decade old in this country and wasnt here for student fee march but this is the biggest one i have ever seen. Hope something good comes out of it.

I’ve just left it to get a coffee/lavatory break - it’s big, no question.

I've just got back. Certainly the biggest since the Iraq war. Though to be fair there are quite a lot of foreigners there so I'm not sure it's legit.

670,000 according to the Peoples Vote twitter account

Have Argentina said anything yet?

Argentina has only observer status under the GPA.

There were a few people knocking about.

I saw this bunch pass by, were you in it? We could've discussed Irish border and canti brakes.

Not sure how many we were in Belfast but this is not a bad turnout.

The DUP got a good slegging, NI business groups, student groups and human rights groups all spoke. And greens / alliance party.

Nice day for it - but some poorly scrawled cardboard , barely witty placards and " bollocks to brexit " fluoro stickers on a dogs nose ?
Nah.

More than a thousand

I joined in at the back but had to get back to Manchester in time to make sure the EDL didn't take over, I needn't have worried.
