I had just been told by Department for Health and Social Care that my grandad’s medication was at risk from no deal. That was the final straw.
I felt I had no voice politically and was totally unrepresented. Getting into political activism and protesting regularly outside Parliament is the only thing I can thank my ex-MP, Baroness Hoey for.
It was having Steve and the group from SODEM there day after day as they were the country’s Remain beacon who we deeply respected and coalesced around.
I'm a working class woman, and the way that Remainers are characterised as elitist and privileged annoys me intensely. It's one of the many, many, many lies that the Brexit leaders told.
It was meant to be like a “tick in a box”, as I was told about SODEM, and I wanted to see what it was like… needless to say, it soon became a good addiction, and changed my life.
My favourite memory is being able to meet so many like-minded people from all over the country and from abroad. I loved talking to passing tourists (usually Americans) who wanted to understand the politics.
I couldn't vote in the referendum and I felt very wronged, because after 26 years living and working in the UK, I loved this country as if it was mine.
My favourite memory is of Steve Bray circumventing the scaffolding issue by raising the placards on 20 foot poles.
I came because I wanted to stand up and be counted. Also, as a photographer I wanted to record something of these historical events.
The most fun thing ever was standing on the platform of the red double decker bus, driving round Westminster protesting with flag, whistle and shouting ‘No lies on this red bus’.
