'Stop Tory Brexit' banner dropped from Westminster Bridge
- 6 years ago
Activists from campaign group Another Europe is Possible drop a Stop Tory Brexit banner from Westminster Bridge and set off red smoke flares ahead of the People's Vote protest that is expected to see tens of thousands march for a second vote on the final Brexit deal.
In the video, activist Ana Oppenheim says: “The end of free movement will be the biggest expansion of border controls in decades.
"Of course it doesn’t mean we accept fortress Europe as it is, we want to change Europe from within, but the way you do that is not by building fortress Britain, it’s not by buying the right wing lies about migrants pushing down wages and over stretching public services.”
“Nobody voted to lose their job and we know that Brexit will mean thousands of job losses.
"Nobody voted for no deal which more and more seems like the option on the table.
"There is no majority for the Brexit the Tories are proposing. Currently the only Brexit on the table is Theresa May’s Brexit which nobody supports.”
