oPM would join the fray, but he has a doctor's note for heel spurs.
I heard he had a note off his Mom excusing him from the march as he has asthma. (well, it was always the excuse that fat kids gave so they could get out of cross country .... and lets face it, oPM is very much a part of this cross country)
What do I think you will do? Nothing. You're just a keyboard warrior.
If you truly believe that the current system doesn't work for you then do something about it instead of crying into your cold fizzy cheap 'spoonies lager. Run as an independent. Sell your vision to your local constituents. Get them to vote for you so you can represent them in parliament.
No? Too difficult? Well shut up and stop complaining if you're not willing to do something practical about it. You don't even have the balls to go on a march with farage so you're certainly not going to say anything to a candidate who knocks on your door
What about the Green Party Candidate Caroline Lucas or if Ken Clarke turned up who always told his constituents he would never vote for the first referendum and he would always support rejoining the EU:
What about those "continuity remoaners". They didn't lie did they.
Would they be OK ?
What about JRM who's constituents voted remain but he defies them by pushing for the hardest of brexits. How should he be received on the doorsteps of Somerset?
Ok so lets have a think - you have been told that violence is bad and the only way to live in a civilised society is to use your vote as your voice.
And so you did along with millions of others and an outcome was achieved.
Over the next 2 years you watched with disbelief as this democratic process you have been told is better than violence is eroded by some people who you do not know and do not understand why they get a say in your life.
You then watch TV and see the english politicians doing exactly the same.
And so you come to realise that the vote did not work and you have been lied too.
And one of those liars is stood at your door in an expensive suit trying to kiss your children and tell you why you should vote for them.
You feel completely unempowered and frustrated - and feel this person in front of you is just spinning more lies for the sole reason of lining their own pockets at your expense.
What do you think is going to happen?

I'm now very tempted to join a local Lib Dem or Independent Group party to go round canvassing for the likes of Anna Soubry or Chukka Ummuna in a Hard Brexit voting area, just to see what happens.
When Farage says this, he is thinking about a bare chested Putin on horseback.
Has anyone noticed that these threats from Brexiteers always refer to their "big friends", "I won't be causing trouble but I have some big aggressive friends who will"

The obvious conclusion is they are going to lash out as those that lied to them.
You can only push people so far before they snap.
Are you suggesting that the mob is going to lynch the Vote Leave leadership over the 350 million per week lie and storm the HQ of the Daily Express over the Turkish immigrants lie? I don't see it myself.
And so you come to realise that the vote did not work and you have been lied too.
I'd feel like that too, if I'd voted Leave.
Unfortunately, the referendum wasn't intended to be in the public interest. It was purely in the interest of the Tory party. It would never have been offered if Cameron et al thought there was a serious risk of Leave winning.
You were offered an option (Leave) which the powers at be had no clue as to if, or how, it could be delivered. For example, IMO, the incompatibility with the Good Friday Agreement should have been addressed before any public vote.
