Mr Farage was greeted by hundreds of marchers in Linby, Nottinghamshire as thousands of anti-Brexit protesters gathered in London for a rival People’s Vote march. The former Ukip leader said: “What has happened this week is not only a national humiliation but it is an outright betrayal because Mrs May now tells us we’re not leaving next Friday despite telling us over a hundred times that we would be, despite putting a piece of law in place supported by 500 MPs. So there is something going on here that I believe to be one of the saddest chapters in the history of our nation and we will not take this lying down.” Mr Farage took to the top of a double-decker bus to address the masses before leading them towards Beeston.
He said: “What a week it’s been. I was hoping to spend more time with you on the march this week but I’ve been in Brussels watching a British Prime Minister reducing our nation in the eyes of the world to the state of humiliation.
“Worse than that, the gap that’s now opened up between the people and the politicians is such that, despite everything we were told in the referendum, everything we were told in general election manifestos, every promise that was made when 498 MPs voted for article 50 which said we leave on March 29 with or without a deal, the Prime Minister signalled that we will not be leaving this Friday.
“And that means this March to Leave could not be better timed.”
The arch-Brexiteer was cheered as he declared: “Our message is very clear.
“If they think they can walk all over us, we’re going to march back and tell them, no you can’t, we will not give in, we will not roll over, we will fight and we know that we will get Brexit whether it’s this Friday or at a later date.
“Whatever battles we face and have to fight, be confident because we are united.
“They are in the minority, we are in the majority.
