Thousands march against Brexit, what don’t they understand about democracy?
Britain's biggest tantrum
THOUSANDS of people marched yesterday against the biggest democratic vote Britain has ever known.
What are they all struggling to understand?
“I’m outraged at the way people voted,” one whined. Well, so what? Millions disagree with you. Get over it.
The organiser of this mass tantrum trotted out another excuse.
The Referendum wasn’t “fought on a level playing field”, he said. You could have fooled us.
We remember the Government, heads of state, an army of celebs, George Osborne’s fantasy figures and a barrage of sneering abuse on one side — and some exaggeration on the other.
Neither campaign was innocent. If the propaganda was imbalanced, it was hugely towards Remain.
And it still didn’t work.
Many of yesterday’s marchers vote Labour, presumably believing it takes better care of the poor.
Yet they now brand the poor “moronic” and “racist” for apparently offending the values of middle-class europhiles furious that their kids may never attend university in Rome.
This is a class divide captured perfectly by their chant: “Fromage, not Farage”.
The Leave vote was not, of course, for insularity and xenophobia.
It was merely for reclaiming our sovereignty, including sensible immigration controls of the sort exercised by every non-EU democracy.
Even if a Remainer becomes Prime Minister it is vital that, unlike the marchers, he or she accepts the result and the fairness of the vote on June 23.
Some 59 per cent in our poll today insist Brexit must not be fudged.
The current tide of anger in Britain, from the thwarted middle-classes to the handful of racist thugs, is bad enough.
It will explode if any PM is seen to betray the 17million-plus who voted Leave.
She was comic Royle-ty
CAROLINE Aherne was a working class girl with a rare gift.
No one will forget her opening line as Mrs Merton to “the millionaire” Paul Daniels’ wife.
Nor the hilarious, beautifully-observed Royle Family — one of the all-time classic sitcoms.
Only weeks ago she paid tribute to the late Victoria Wood as a “true comic genius”.
That went for you too, Caroline.
Grin and pleasant land
WHAT a magnificent weekend of sporting glory for English fans.
First the jaw-dropping win in the Euros for Wales, which is near England.
Now our very own Andy Murray from Surrey is storming through Wimbo with his deadliest rival already out.
Come on, England!
