When asked what they missed about the European Union, it seems that Remainers struggled to explain their answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thousands of pro-EU demonstrators took to the streets of London last weekend, demanding that the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interviewer pointed out: “Germany is in recession though, and we are not, so how is that true?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest Office for National Statistics figures, the UK economy shrank by 0.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bundesbank indicated on Monday that the German economy is likely to contract again this quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers included Belgian MEP Guy Verhofstadt, anti-Brexit\u00a0activist Steve Bray and pro-EU campaigner Gina Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter Corr, co-founder of the National Rejoin March, told LBC earlier this week that the march will be an annual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
