LONDON, United Kingdom – Anti-Brexit demonstrators took to the streets of London once again today to protest against the British public’s decision to leave the European Union (EU).
The protest, which was much smaller than previous anti-Brexit demonstrations, was led by comedian Eddie Izzard and included people dressed in a wide variety of costumes, often with unusual messages.
Demonstrators called on the government to overturn the referendum result, and expressed their love for the European Union, to a background of pop music
One group of demonstrators told Breitbart London how Brexit was like the killing of Harambe, the Cincinnati gorilla, because as his life was taken away without his choice, so they have been taken out of the EU against their will.
The protest was largely peaceful, although a small counter-demonstration by Brexit supporters aroused a large amount of anger among crowd, leading to chants of “racist scum” as well as one person shouting “you’ll be dead soon anyway” at an older man.
Eddie Izzard also got into a spot of bother when an unknown man attempted to steal his pink beret. The comedian gave chase in high heels before the thief was wrestled to the ground.

Because when you’re a child Article 50 is literally the most pressing thing on your mind
Eddie Izzard looks up
Propaganda rag
That’s kind of what it means
Nothing more magic than an unelected commission
London’s white middle-class liberals unite
Poor thing
Someone call the RSPCA
It was almost like a giant North London dog walking event
Not for much longer…
No political gathering is complete without him
Nothing says liberty more than an unaccountable elite
Geddit?
Turnout was much lower than previous protests
Don’t go breaking my heart
Peter Tatchell joins Izzard
No comment
Huh?
They were not quite big enough to block the whole road
It’s what he would have wanted
Sensible political debate
Attempts to create a giant EU flag were not entirely successful
The horror of Brexit
No idea
What would he make of it all?
Something vaguely sinister about this
The EU love is just too much for some people
Nowadays they can almost fit all their MPs in there
