Britons protest Brexit to remain in the European Union

A boy holds up a placard reading 'Be a star' in Whitehall. Protesters marched from Park Lane to Parliament Square in favour of remaining in the EU.

Within days of the June 2016 EU referendum anti-Brexit protests were held by ‘Remainers’ who gathered from all over the United Kingdom to protest in London.

Thousands took to the streets to object to the result of the EU referendum vote which was won by the leave campaign by a slim minority. The win was attributed to lies perpetrated by the leave campaign and amplified by segments of the mainstream media, together with widespread discontent at ever- widening wealth inequality in the country.
