I expect today to be the biggest political march in living memory. It will be defined not just by its size but by its diversity. Young and old, of all ethnicities, from every corner of our country, speaking up and speaking out. Refusing to let our prime minister rule as a self-appointed monarch. Rejecting the narrowness, insularity and the extremism of Brexit. Demanding a democratic solution. The EU knows it, so do our own MPs – Theresa May is finished Rafael Behr Rafael Behr Read more In years to come, historians will write approvingly of the British people’s passionate, peaceful and successful fight against Brexit. They will say that as our institutions buckled under the strain, Britain found its voice. And you will be able to say to your children and grandchildren: “I was there. I stood up for my country, I faced down the extremists, I protected your future.” So come today. Join us. Let’s get our country back.
But, in truth, it is Brexit that has defeated Brexit, not May. Brexit has always been an impossible project, except at the price of massive self-harm. The hard, populist right sold the myth of “taking back control” because they knew that no one would buy the reality: workers’ rights slashed, welfare broken, Ireland betrayed and Britain turned into a giant tax haven. Theresa May has much to answer for, but it is not her fault that she couldn’t square the circle of the Brexiteers’ lies: nobody could.

I voted remain but accept the result of the referendum those who can't accept it should remind themselves they would have accepted the result if it went the other way.

Is he ever not pro eu ?
We're still in the European Union , still , just , working under the European Communities Act .
In that case you can't blame the British government itself for actions like austerity measures , when it has it's hands tied .
Whence the British governments hands are untied , and if things don't improve , then we'll have someone to blame . At least they won't be able hide behind 30 or more miles of water
