When asked what they missed about the European Union, it seems that Remainers struggled to explain their answers.
Thousands of pro-EU demonstrators took to the streets of London last weekend, demanding that the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union.
One woman, who was wearing a yellow curly wig and a shirt emblazoned with the EU flag, suggested that the economies of other EU member states have “recovered a lot better than we have”.
The interviewer pointed out: “Germany is in recession though, and we are not, so how is that true?”
The embarrassed activist struggled to refute this point, simply saying: “Um, I’m not an economist.”
In the latest Office for National Statistics figures, the UK economy shrank by 0.5 percent.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, on the other hand, said the latest economic numbers provided “many reasons to be optimistic about the future.”
He claimed that the UK economy was now on track to outperform Germany, France, and Italy.
Meanwhile, Germany, the EU’s largest economy, entered a recession in the first quarter of the year, with GDP growth reduced from zero to -0.3 percent.
The Bundesbank indicated on Monday that the German economy is likely to contract again this quarter.
In another encounter, a protester was asked what he missed about the European Union.
The man hesitated for a number of seconds before simply responding: “I like the EU.”
The National Rejoin March, which is organised by an alliance of pro-Brussels groups, follows a similar event last year.
Speakers included Belgian MEP Guy Verhofstadt, anti-Brexit activist Steve Bray and pro-EU campaigner Gina Miller.
Peter Corr, co-founder of the National Rejoin March, told LBC earlier this week that the march will be an annual event.
It comes after the Conservatives warned Labour that it cannot be trusted on Brexit after Sir Keir Starmer threatened to rework the trade pact with the EU.
