London March by 100,000 Brexit Supporters Planned for Day of Historic Court Hearing

LONDON - EU announced Monday it is planning a mass march in central London next month to coincide with the start of a historic "Brexit" court hearing.
The group is aiming for at least 100,000 people to take part in the march from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square, close to where the Surpreme Court will make a definitive decision on who can trigger Britain's exit from the European Union.
Nigel Farage, acting leader of UKIP, will lead the march expected on December 5.
Leave.EU said it will announce further details of what will be one of the biggest demonstrations seen in the British capital for some time.
The court hearing, expected to last for several days, has been called to hear an appeal by Prime Minister Theresa May's government, following a decision in the High Court last Thursday.
Three judges ruled that the parliament must be involved in the process to trigger the so-called Article 50 mechanism that will start a two-year negotiation between London and Brussels over the terms of Brexit.

In the June 23 referendum, Britain decided on a 52-48 margin to leave the EU, a decision that stunned the political establishment who had been expecting a remain vote. (Xinhua)
