TENS of thousands of people from all walks of life will be taking to the London streets this weekend to demand an end to Theresa May’s shambolic “anti-people” administration, and to call for an immediate general election.
“Britain is Broken” is the slogan of the demonstration, and it is certainly true that the current chaotic, aggressively divided and threatening nature of parliamentary politics — represented so clearly by the Brexit fiasco — indicates a society under extreme stress.
But it is not the European Union “debate” that is the origin of the division.
