Anti-Brexit MP Anna Soubry was "too frightened" to speak at a rally in Parliament Square due to Brexit activists. The flight of a Boris Johnson blimp was also cancelled to avoid antagonising the rival protest.
Ms Soubry, leader of the Independent Group for Change, was scheduled to speak at the March for Change rally in London on Saturday, but told organisers she was intimidated by counter-protests held by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. It's awful but there's also a side of me that thinks that this is our country."I'm a parliamentarian and I have a right to speak and I shouldn't be frightened but it's very, very, very disturbing, and I'm very frightened actually," she told PA.
Ms Soubry has previously been a target for Brexit supporters and far-right activists. Having discussed the situation with police and protest organisers, Ms Soubry left the rally on account of not wanting to cause extra problems.

It would be better if she stuck to the political arguments rather than the emotional arguments
After this week's betrayal in Parliament, I would think the Brexit supporters have a right to feel a little angry. As long as no actual violence was used |

So who is actually left in the Anna Soubry party?
|
|
By:
She's made her bed so now she can lie in it.
That goes for all MPs trying to brush aside a democratic vote from the people. |

Who'd listen to her anyway? Finished.

Anna seems quite a delicate flower.
Full of sanctimony when given a free ride by on-message interviewers but curiously effete when asked to present those views to a hostile but peaceful audience. |

I agree Hanx
There is no point in preaching to the converted Her job is the convert the heathens, that's the trick...but she does not sound up to it |

By:
An excellent example of playing for the sympathy card by Soubry,she was never supportive of Farage or Mogg when they were on the receiving end of aggressive contact.

What is the point of a 'March for Change' rally if @1st time poster is correct ?
|

By:
The biggest liars I recall from the referendum campaign was the deliberate fears by the government of 3% on income tax ( not happened) . half a million unemployed (650k more employed) and a recession (stock market up) if we voted to Leave, all proven to be no more than deliberate fears to stoke Remain votes.

Surely if they were blatant it will be very easy to reel off 5 lies within minutes.

The background chanting during live tv outside the Houses of Parliament, are they by 'Remainers' or 'Leavers'? It always seems to get louder when someone is being interviewed.

Said we would leave in March , said we would leave in Oct

The background chanter is an ardent 'Remainer'(just googled). So why is Anna Soubry too frightened to speak at Remain Rallies given the 'Remainers' are more vocal and in greater numbers than 'Leavers'? Reverse Psychology?
