Angry scenes as police separate Leave and Remain protesters at anti-Brexit rallies across Britain (and Eddie Izzard has his pink beret knocked off)
- March for Europe launched to pressure Government to delay Article 50
- Protests in London, Birmingham, Oxford, Edinburgh and Cambridge
- Typically British scenes included gentleman in tweed waving a Union Flag
- And hundreds walked through rainy streets of Bristol during the protest
Thousands of pro-Europe protesters flooded Britain's cities today - leading to counter-demonstrations from Brexit voters.
In
typically British scenes, a man in tweed held a Union Flag aloft in
Parliament Square, while in Bristol hundreds trooped through the streets
under steady rain.
The
March for Europe was launched to ratchet up pressure on the Government
to delay activating Article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU.
Simultaneous
rallies supporting close economic, cultural and social links to Europe
have taken place in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, and Cambridge.
In
London, Eddie Izzard's pink beret became the centre of police attention
after it was swiped off his head along with his yellow bag by a
protester in Whitehall.

The pro-EU campaigner chased the man down the street in high heels, as a police officer attempted to hold him back.
Police
grappled with the alleged thief, who was able to flee towards
Parliament Square. Izzard then retrieved the beret from the suspect, who
was dressed in black and had a bandanna covering half his face.
The
Labour-supporting entertainer later gave a speech to a crowd of several
thousand at the event, before his prize hat was taken away by police as
evidence.
The
comedian said: 'Somebody stole my hat. There were masked Brexit people,
dark glasses, masked, skull teeth across [the masks].
'There
was one guy, I was complaining about this to him, he went up and
snatched my beret - which has a British flag and an EU flag on - and he
marched off, he stole it.'
Izzard
said he 'jumped on him to get it back and then he struggled more',
saying that the police 'did fantastic, there was an inspector, some
other officers in there, they took him down'.
He
said: 'I got my beret back, but it's gone off as evidence - my beret is
now in evidence,' adding: 'I'm out, transgender for 31 years and if
anyone steals my pink beret, I'll get it back.'
The
Met Police confirmed they had arrested a 26-year-old man shortly before
1.10pm, adding he was 'from a group of around four men who attempted to
demonstrate against the march'.

Campaigners
marched from Hyde Park and through Whitehall to the Houses of
Parliament, where a debate on whether a second EU referendum should take
place will be held on Monday.
It
comes after an online petition garnered more than four million
signatures after the vote to leave the EU in June, but an official
Government response to the campaign said the Brexit decision 'must be
respected'.
The demonstrations are also calling for greater public consultation on every stage of the Brexit negotiations.

words instead with 'EU'.

UNION Magazine visited some of South Africa's poor Afrikaners living in the countries many illegal White Squatter Camps.

Due to the over 119 race based laws prohibiting White South Africans from employment more and more families find themselves in crisis. These are NOT people who planned living on the streets! These are NOT folks who are lazy and uneducated! These are ordinary middle class, mostly blue collar workers who have lost their jobs because of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment LAW!!
