Dozens of leave voters concerned Bath residents aren't listening to the referendum vote gathered to protest outside St Michael’s Church in Broad Street yesterday (November 15).

Author and journalist Ian Dunt gave a talk about his new book Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now and was joined by members of Bath for Europe.

But around 30 demonstrators who voted to leave the EU in last year’s referendum gathered outside the church before the event with placards reading “Brexit: Why the hell can’t we just get on with it?”.

One of the protest organisers, Helen Hims said: “We have to remember that Bath is a remain area but it was a national vote.

“Bath for Europe is a disingenuous group. It’s not that we don’t like Europe, we love Europe, we just don’t agree with the European Union.”

Another organiser, Ian Kealey, said: "We've come here to remind the remoaners that they lost the referendum

“Everyone is moving on with it and I think Bath needs to too.

“It's a divisive issue, but i think it [being in the E.U] is dangerous for the country."

Taunton councillor Tom Aldridge (UKIP, Taunton North), 88, also joined the demonstration, holding three placards.

“We have had a democratic vote and people just need to listen,” he said.

But guest speaker Ian Dunt, said they weren’t fighting for a "worthy cause".

Mr Dunt said: "I wasn’t expecting it [the protest]. It’s not a worthy cause they’re demonstrating

“The book isn’t just for those who voted remain. It’s about Brexit and what we need to do next. I’d recommend some of them come inside and listen.”
