Did you hear the calls from the demonstrators shown on the BBC news tonight?

In Jordan.


Fair enough
I suppose that if you are abstaining on the biggest issue the UK has faced in decades, Jordan is as good a place as any to hide.
Good on David Lammy I say.


I think you may find that World Refugee Day was arranged some time before the London march.

Corbyn would be sure to be visiting refugee camps and the like. Where was Maybot today ?

George Soros dishonest?

No way!


Well exactly but at the same time I do agree with them on this. I have no doubt the people involved in the march directly are honest as well, I just think people in the background might be taking advantage. It's a tough one.


Follow the money, who gains what?

There are genuine philanthropists like Gates but Soros is Jewish and there is a tradition of people on the RW who are into trying to shut down that sort of thing...


But do you see my dilemma? I think in these cases you need big backers to get the message out there but I also think I probably disagree with a lot of their views. It's a really tough one for me.

But in principal I back stopping Brexit and I back this march on those principals.

Met apparently think there were half a million people...


By the time we got to Whitehall
We were half a million strong
And everywhere were songs and celebrations
And I dreamed I saw Mogg and Bojo
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.

We're Remainers, we're patriots true
And we got to get ourselves back in the EU.....

Funded Hillary Clinton but also bailed out one of Trumps's failing projects once.

Fund both sides and get the influence over both.

And Soros is one of the most influential people in the world, he's got people elected and helped bring down governments.

You're not really much of a lefty after all then.

Corbyn would not approve.

Neither would Benn if he was still alive.

I was talking about Tony Benn not Mr Benn BTW.

Clearly you know nothing about him if you think he'd have been a Remainer.

He would have taken a pragmatic approach to Brexit though, as Corbyn is doing.

Corbyn is the leader.

He wouldn't be taking a "pragmatic approach" if he was still a backbencher would he?

I don't know and neither do you. I personally think he would have done, as he has with the CU for instance. Of course the question is slightly irrelevant as under Labour we would not have had a referendum.

What role do the Koch brothers play, let alone the Barclays?

Don't know, weren't the Barclay brothers the ones who owned Herm or Sark , one of the Channel Islands anyway?

Doubt they have Soros power, he's got a finger in every pie.

No - Cos Blair was a clever enough politician to see the utterly divisive effects of a referendum.
