There have been two marches this week, the Pro-Brexit 'Leave Means Leave' march and the Anti-Brexit 'Put It To The People' which is demanding a second referendum.
The first which is demanding we leave the EU regardless of us reaching a deal or not attracted approximately 50 people while today's march saw almost a million placard waving people wind their way through London.
With Brexit in turmoil and with the Prime Ministers unpopular deal twice being defeated in "meaningful votes" inside the House of Commons, forcing Europe to grant a short extension to allow for further negotiations, nobody knows what will happen next.
Theresa May is considering pulling out of a third attempt to get her deal through the Commons as she hasn't got the support to succeed, especially after her ill-considered speech where she lumped the blame for her deal failing on all the other politicians, the same politicians she now needs to support her.
With parliament divided and the situation mired in deadlock, the 'Revoke Article 50' petition sails towards the four million signatures mark we may yet get our wish and forget the whole mess and stay in the EU although bizarrely, Theresa May seems intent on listening to the 50 deluded marching souls over the million.
