People's Vote March and the Cooperative Party

The Cooperative Party are mobilising to have a presence at the People’s Vote march on Saturday 23rd March.  There is no reason why everyone can't join in such a March.  You don't have to be a Co-operative Party member.  Alternatively, there will be many other groups and you can join them.  The Co-operative Party will be meeting from 11.45am outside the Esso Petrol Station, about half way down Park Lane. This is at 83 Park Lane, Mayfair, London, W1K 7TS.  The nearest tube appears to be at Marble Arch on the Central line. The group is expecting to move from there at around 12.15pm.

Personally I think a Brexit delay is inevitable, if only because of the vast mass of UK legislation that has yet to be processed.  The second inevitability is Brexit claims of betrayal since

(a) The Brexit decision was never going to solve the problems it claimed it would
(b) The more extreme Brexiteers are geared to see any form of interaction with Europe as a betrayal (c) The Brexiteers have been lining up the betrayal narrative as an excuse to avoid blame for all the failures that the process has led to and is going to lead to.

If so, we might as well have a referendum, because unwelcome as it is, it is the only way we can get out of this whole ghastly process.
