Remainers and Leave campaigners stage protests in Exeter

Remainers outnumber Leavers at simultaneous demonstrations in Exeter on Saturday

Campaigners for the UK to stay in the EU are staging a protest in Exeter later.


People from across the south west, of all political leanings, marched from Belmont Park to Bedford Square for a rally on Saturday, addressed by speakers including Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw and south west members of the European Parliament.

The organisers believe that Brexit can be stopped and are calling for the public to have a final say on the issue.

The protest attracted several hundred protesters thoughout. At the same time, a smaller group gathered on the opposite side of Exeter High Street, appealing for Britain to get out of the EU as quickly as possible.
