Today The Debrief joined tens of thousands of people on the streets of London (which overwhelmingly voted to remain) where they were marching against Brexit or, rather, as they put it 'for Europe'.
As they marched chants like 'EU now', 'no more lies', 'stuff you Boris', 'stuff you Farage' and 'no more lies, no more hate, we are the 48.'
The reference of 48 was to the percentage of people who turned out to vote in favour of Britain staying in the European Union last Thursday. 51.9% of voters chose to leave, however. In the week since this decision was made the country has been divided into two groups: one containing the 16 million people who voted to stay and the other consisting of the 17 million who voted out of the EU.
The march went from Hyde Park corner down to Parliament Square in Westminster where people gathered to hear speakers such as Labour MP David Lammy, Billie JD Porter and Bob Geldof.
What was clear from speaking to them was that it was not a protest against those who voted to leave. It was a show of solidarity with Europe as well as with people from other countries living in the UK. It was also a stand against the racist and xenophobic crimes which have been reported in the last week. Finally it was a unanimous expression of dissatisfaction about how the referendum and its subsequent fallout has been handled by politicians.
One week on from the results of the EU referendum the only certain thing is that we still have a lot of unanswered questions about how Brexit is going to play out.
