Scottish groups to take part in anti-democratic ‘March to Rejoin’ Brexit event in London – Scottish Daily Express

A number of Scottish groups are set to head down to join a mass pro-EU march in London on Saturday in an event being labelled "extremist" by a leading pro-Brexit think tank.

Thousands of people are expected to descend on the UK's capital for the march which has been called the "March to Rejoin" with a GoFundMe for it raising 20,000.

Two Scottish groups have already confirmed plans to take part in the event in Glasgow Loves EU and European Movement in Scotland with the London SNP also attending.

A number of pro-EU commentators will also be speaking at the march including Steve Bray and Femi Oluwole of the OFOC group (Our Future Our Choice").

Despite the UK voting to leave the EU back in 2016, the rejoiners are continuing to dispute the vote by holding the event which is expected to get coverage on BBC and Sky.

Pro-Brexit think tank Facts4EU highlighted the event as a sign that the fight to stay out of the bloc was not over, considering the breadth of support the march had received.

They wrote: "On Saturday the BBC, Sky News and ITN will no doubt be giving significant coverage to the March to Rejoin. Whilst most of the marchers will be from the extremist fringe, this march should nevertheless send a warning to all Brexiteers the fight is not yet over.

"We may well be looking at the rump of the Remain movement but its very well-funded and very active on social media and in its political campaigning. And its clearly on the rise.

"The GoFundMe site for this march shows that a total of 20,101 has been raised for this single event at the time of writing (4am, Sun 04 Sept 2022).

"20,000 for a single days output The Facts4EU.Org team would love to have this sum for an entire months output, researching and publishing seven days-a-week. We count ourselves fortunate if we receive a total amount like that for six months work."

The SNP want to join the EU if they become independent as they claimed to have been taken out of the bloc without their permission after Scotland voted to stay in it.

But they have yet to publish their independence paper which would state how they would do this, although it is understood to be coming out before their planned referendum next October.

Leigh Evans, Chairman, Facts4EU.Org and Chairman of CIBUK.Org, urged his fellow Brexiteers to get ready for the potential onslaught from remainers this weekend and in the future.

He said: "One more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

Brexit is not done, sadly. Not only do we have to ensure that the United Kingdom is reunited and that all of it is removed from the yoke of EU laws, we must also ensure that all the dividends from being an independent country again are realised as quickly as possible.

As the Rt Hon Sir John Redwood MP told me last month :-

'Well, weve scarcely started, have we? I mean, it's still very disappointing. It's great news that we finally got out, despite Parliament's worst efforts to thwart the will of the British people. But we got out with a deal, which Boris Johnson had substantially revised from Theresa May, but it still left us under some elements of EU control, which I find deeply disappointing.'

All those who voted Leave over six years ago have a right to expect the full delivery of Brexit. Its something called democracy a concept that Rejoiners would do well to acquaint themselves with. It might also help if they bothered to acquaint themselves with some official facts.
