Thousands take to the streets of London AGAIN to object to the Brexit result (so isn't that just a protest against democracy?) 

  •     Many people wore EU flags as capes and had homemade banners saying 'Bremain' and 'We Love EU' as they marched

  •     40,000 protesters taking part in the event, organised on social media, marched through London to Parliament Square

Thousands of people have gathered in central London again to protest against plans for Britain to leave the European Union.

Demonstrators wearing EU flags as capes and with homemade banners saying 'Bremain' and 'We Love EU' gathered on the streets around Park Lane for the March for Europe rally.

Around 40,000 protesters are taking part in the event, which was organised on social media. They marched through the streets of London, from Park Lane to Parliament Square.

A smoke bomb was let off at Parliament Square and one person held a placard with a characateur mocking the candidate for Prime Minister, Michael Gove.

 There were believed to be between 20,000 and 40,000 protesters taking part in the event, which was organised on social media

People of all ages attended the 'March for Europe Event', many of which were wrapped in flags as they strolled through London today

 Most protestors were young adults, and many were draped in EU flags while others waved banners proclaiming slogans like 'I'm with EU' or simply 'Wrexit.'

They chanted 'what do we want to do? Stay in the EU,' as they set off for the Westminster political district.

'I was genuinely stunned on the morning after the vote,' said one marcher, Nathaniel Samson, 25, from Hertfordshire north of London.

'I feel deeply uncertain about my future,' he added. 'I'm on the march to voice my discontentment. I am accepting the result, but it's to show that we won't accept it quietly.'

 Thousands of people gathered for a march from Park Lane to the Houses of Parliament to protest against the referendum result

 London voted 60 per cent in favour of remaining in the EU in last Thursday's referendum, with younger voters widely in favour of staying in the EU, but 52 per cent of Britons overall cast ballots in favour of leaving

 One of the rally organisers, King's College graduate Kieran MacDermott, said: 'We can prevent Brexit by refusing to accept the referendum as the final say and take our finger off the self-destruct button'

 Younger voters were likelier to vote Remain - many of whom worried about their right to travel and work in the EU - while their Baby Boomer elders were likelier to vote Leave

London voted 60 per cent in favour of remaining in the EU in last Thursday's referendum, with younger voters widely in favour of staying in the EU, but 52 per cent of Britons overall cast ballots in favour of leaving.

Father and daughter Bill Baker, 59, and Jess Baker, 22, from Islington, north London, had made a banner for the march which read: 'I will always love EU.'

Ms Baker said: 'We didn't want to leave but if you respect the decision of the referendum, which we should, we still want Britain to be EU orientated, outward looking and inclusive.'

One of the rally organisers, King's College graduate Kieran MacDermott, said: 'We can prevent Brexit by refusing to accept the referendum as the final say and take our finger off the self-destruct button.'

Parliament should have the final say on whether Britain should leave, he told the BBC.

Philippa Griffin, 40, from Hertfordshire, brought a French stick to celebrate Europe as her alternative to a protest banner.

She said: 'I'm absolutely outraged at the way people voted, the lies the referendum was based on and the divide in the country because of it. My ideal outcome from this march is that MPs realise that leaving the EU is not what people truly want. It feels like our country has already changed.'
The Metropolitan Police said there would be officers at the event to provide 'flexible and appropriate' policing.

The vote to leave the EU was deeply split. Voters in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the capital London backed remaining, while those that chose to leave were largely from less affluent areas in England and Wales.

But there was also a rough generational split.

Younger voters were likelier to vote Remain - many of whom worried about their right to travel and work in the EU - while their Baby Boomer elders were likelier to vote Leave.

The narrow victory has triggered anger in Britain among those who wanted to remain in the EU and more than four million people have signed a petition calling for a second referendum.

In the coming days, meanwhile, Conservative MPs will whittle down the party leadership candidates to two in a series of votes and the rivals will then tour the country to appeal to some 150,000 party members for their vote.

It was reported today that energy minister and Brexit backer Angela Leadsom has become the favourite to face Theresa May on the ballot paper.

Gove, who torpedoed fellow anti-EU campaigner Boris Johnson's leadership hopes on Thursday, cast doubt on whether May could lead the country out of the EU after supporting a 'Remain' vote.
However, Gove has also faced fierce criticism for turning on his one-time ally Johnson.
