There is Brexit news you people probably have missed, the same way ALL UK media and Bigot Broadcasting Corporation missed. But it's a fact.
And will make many leavers like Farage apoplectic next week when they find out.
EU is in charge of Brexit now. A50 is EU law and 29/03 leave date already has been changed by the last EC decision to 12/04. That is clever EU diplomacy move - to show gammons who is in charge:
| Quote: | Article 50: The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period. |
Which EC has done to 12 April.
Imagine gammons realising that.
Wait the gammons to find out 29 March date has been changed by EU, because its EU law is ruled by European Commission decisions, and they can do that again...any time they wish.
The moaning

Voters fit into stereotypes very well. You'll find most MPs can walk down a street and determine with fairly good accuracy what each person will be voting for.
This isn't really about being "pro-EU" or wanting another vote, though I'm sure most of the marchers would favour one to a greater or lesser degree. It's just a day out to virtue signal. 1 million sounds a lot but its about the same number as will turn up to London Gay pride this year, even though very few of those pride attendees are actually LGBT.
1) Millennials and younger: It's usually a party/carnival atmosphere, maybe even a chance to hit on some fit girls. The same sorts go to climate change protests and get a lift in their Dad's car.
2) Middle Aged and older: Come to virtue signal their liberal credentials. The chattering classes think this is a place to "see and be seen". They will come well prepared with Waitrose picnic and a patronising attitude.
3) Activists: Small in number, fairly hard line, probably going to pride later this year (in the parade).
4) Retards: They're not sure why they are there, they just are |

By the same token you could apply stereotypes to demonstrating Brexiteers with equal comedy value:
1. Youths looking for trouble, on drugs.
2. Older blokes with thick necks and draped in flags of St George looking for trouble, on cheap lager.
3. Gobby women, either scrawny or grossly overweight with bad skin and teeth, hoping to get fingered by said blokes on the coach going home.
4. Activists with a concealed right-wing agenda using the Brexit debate to further their anti-immigration and anti-Islam cause, even though Brexit has nothing to do with Islam.
Of course, not all stereotypes are 100% accurate....

They aren't stereotypes for comedy value. That's just the sort of people that go there. You want to treat them as some big "remainer" block but it doesn't work like that.
As for your examples they are just attempts at being rude and disrespectful about working class people you see as inferior to you, which tells us a lot about you. The main Brexiteer types are:
1) Traditionalist Tory. Older people, usually Tory voters or ex-Tory, mostly interested in "values" or religion.
2) Working classes. Usually from Northern ex-mining towns, bored of their town being used as a rubbish site by the local Labour MP who is almost impossible to get rid of.
3) Remainers. Get that there was a vote, bored of listening to their side flogging a dead horse, want May to just get on with it. Not usually on marches.
4) Football fans, probably drunk, small in number |

“Handful” my arse.
Compare 29th, not people with the balls to walk 30 miles a day to Snowflakes with the balls to catch a train to Londonistan.

It really doesn't and you miss my point. They are stereotypes that some people on the Remain side hold. Stereotypes by definition don't cover the whole spectrum. I didn't say I agree with them.
If anything your reaction shows that you hold a false stereotypical opinion of me as a Remainer, that in your view I must consider myself superior to the great unwashed.
One thing about Brexit that really annoys me is people inferring it is a 'class' issue like you have just done. Both sides are guilty of this, from snobby middle class types to wannabe working class heroes. If we are still talking innacurate stereotypes, all Remainers think that all Brexiteers are thick northern working class racists whilst all Brexiteers think all Remainers are university-educated, Guardian-reading middle-class 'snowflakes' from south of Watford Gap. Neither is correct or accurate however both are used to antagonise.

Mdma if I said I'll see you there, would you seriously turn up wanting a fight with somebody you've never met because you disagree about politics on the internet?
If I did go, I'd rather have a pint with you and laugh about it.
