700,000 March in London Demanding “People’s Vote” on Brexit

HeadlineOct 22, 2018

And in Britain, an estimated 700,000 people marched through the streets of London and rallied at Parliament Square Saturday, calling for a referendum on the final Brexit deal. Organizers say it was one of the largest protests of any kind in British history. Prime Minister Theresa May has ruled out any public referendum on her plans to withdraw the U.K. from the European Union. This is London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who joined Saturday’s demonstrations.

Mayor Sadiq Khan: “This government is leading us towards either a bad Brexit deal or, even worse, no deal at all. These options are a million miles away from what was promised. The government doesn’t have a mandate to gamble with our future.”
