Brexit isn't working

March for Europe on Saturday, September 10

It's now two and a half years since Britain left the European Union - and, as you know, Brexit's harmful effects are becoming more obvious with every week that passes.

​

But I have one piece of encouraging news for everybody:

On Saturday, 10 September, a nationwide fightback against the Brexit disaster is set to begin.

That day will see the first major national pro-European demonstration since 2019.

It is absolutely crucial that it is well attended – and that it sends a message to all our politicians, telling them loud and clear that we need to rapidly repair our relationship with the rest of our continent.

So please put the date in your diary, tell all your friends (by telephone and social media) - and take part in the march.

Please assemble between midday and 1 PM on Saturday, 10 September in the north-east part of Hyde Park (near Marble Arch) - and then march to a rally in Parliament Square.

We need to remind the politicians that Brexit isn't working. At the moment that is sadly the political elephant in the room!!

We need to remind them that Brexit is a major factor in damaging our economy, driving up prices, fuelling inflation and causing labour shortages and port and airport chaos. It's also threatening to undermine the Good Friday peace agreement in Northern Ireland – and is causing increased tensions between England and Scotland, thus endangering the future of the UK itself.

​

So before it's too late, we must try to convince the politicians to start planning now to re-join the EU as soon as is politically possible. Brexit was a disastrous mistake - and we need to rapidly mend our relationship with the rest of our continent.

​

The road ahead may be long and arduous – but the 10 September demonstration is the beginning of our nationwide fightback against the ills of Brexit. Please join us on the march and be part of the launch of a truly historic campaign.

If you have time, please let me know how many of your friends you think you may be able to persuade to take part in the march, by emailing me at: d.keys@virgin.net OR harrowandhillingdon@europeanmovement.co.uk

​

We also need to tell the public in general about the march – so we will be doing a lot of leafleting outside local tube stations on weekday evenings between Wednesday, 24 August and Friday, 9 September. If you are able to help in any way with that leafleting operation, please telephone me or email me at the email addresses above. Thank you.​
