Cornwall for Europe, the campaigners for Britain to stay in the EU, have called a protest on Thursday 29th August at 10.30, outside the offices of Sarah Newton MP, Quay Street, Truro .
They are angry about the suspension of Parliament by the Prime Minister and they have supported spontaneous protests. ‘This is outrageous. There is no majority for a no deal Brexit, either in Parliament or in the country’ said Charles Boney, Press Spokesperson for Cornwall for Europe. ‘We are supporting anyone who wants to make a legal protest, such as the group who paraded outside the office of Sheryll Murray MP on Wednesday. We are calling for anyone who wants to protest to try and get to Truro to make their feelings heard.’
Tom Scott, social media officer of the group has also reported that the group has been targeted by hard right Brexit supporters.
‘Our facebook has been filled with vitriol by Brexit trolls and we have had at least two of our Committee’s social media accounts hacked. There was specific request on a far right website to troll Cornwall for Europe. We are doing our best to block these people.’
Cornwall for Europe will continue to organise street stalls several times a week in main towns throughout the County. They have also mounted a huge ‘Stop Brexit’ sign at the end of the Airport runway at Newquay and are planning more signs throughout the County as well as taking coach bookings for a big London protest on 19th October.
