It seems only "tens of thousands" have turned out. The online petition is iffy at best, so bit of a damp squib from the remoaners!

[agchristie]

and how many of them are not eligible to vote!

[youngmafbog]

Hardly surprising, we are British after all - even the remoaners :-)

[Spicerack]

Iffy? Lol.

[THECORBYLOON]

A BBC reporter said there were hundreds of thousands.

[youngmafbog]

Well a BBC reporter would !

It's irrelevant whether it is 10 or a million anyway.

[ToraToraTora]

not according to the BBC, TCL, they may have expected that many.

[aelmpvw]

13 million + could turn up, they'd still be in the minority

[THECORBYLOON]

'The march comes as the pro-Brexit March to Leave, which started in Sunderland a week ago, continues towards London.

Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage re-joined the March to Leave in Linby, near Nottingham, on Saturday morning telling around 200 Brexit supporters that Mrs May had reduced the nation "to a state of humiliation".'

Two hundred?

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, there was a live report on the BBC News channel in the last half-hour.

[youngmafbog]

The pro leaving march is as pointless as the pre remain march.

Neither are relevant and show nothing.

[ToraToraTora]

just going by the figures in my link TCL.

[THECORBYLOON]

I realised that TTT but I just wanted to give the more recent estimate. It's not an exact science anyway and no doubt the opposing sides will produce differing figures.

[Old_Geezer]

Pro-leavers are presently more laid back. Plus it's a long march that those participating are on.

[ichkeria]

I love it ;-)

If you look at the heat map of the - ahem - 4.3 million signees it reflects pretty accurately what you’d expect. ie much greater response in areas known to favour Remain. Which suggests that while I’d be amazed if no one had “cheated” that it’s largely accurate. Dubious atomated activity would, unless it’s amazingly clever, show odd regional trends.
Assuming the figures more or less add up; there’ll be people abroad as well not covered by that map and I don’t know how that is catered for offhand.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT's link is now saying there are hundreds of thousands at the demonstration.

[ToraToraTora]

tell me when it exceeds 17.2m

[anneasquith]

Oh my. The brexiteers seem to be panicking.

[ichkeria]

Tora’s brought Nigel back things must be bad :-)

[anneasquith]

Who?
