Ms Soubry, leader of the Independent Group for Change, was scheduled to speak at the March for Change rally in London on Saturday, but told organisers she was intimidated by counter-protests held by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s awful but there’s also a side of me that thinks that this is our country.
Never heard of DFLA, plus the football match might have been a factor if they were attending that later.
A lot of Leave supporting MPs have been threatened too (including Nigel Evans who spoke about it when asked ) but they are not making such a song and dance about it as Soubry.
People on all sides are getting too strident on the subject of leaving the EU instead of approaching it calmly. The tales of mayhem that are said to accompany our leaving don't help they just add to the anger and tension.
