Lewes Bonfire, describes a set of celebrations held in the town of Lewes, Sussex that constitute the United Kingdom's largest and most famous Bonfire Night festivities. Held on 5 November, the event not only marks Guy Fawkes Night - the date of the uncovering of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 - but also commemorates the memory of the seventeen Protestant martyrs from the town burned at the stake for their faith during the Marian Persecutions. Lewes is home to the largest and most celebrated of the festivities in the Sussex bonfire tradition. There are seven societies putting on six separate parades and firework displays throughout Lewes on November the 5th. As well as this, 25-30 societies from all around Sussex come to Lewes on the fifth to march the streets. There is a history of religious antagonism and anti-popery around the bonfire celebrations in Lewes. A number of large effigies are drawn through the streets before being burned at the bonfires, these "Enemies of Bonfire" range from nationally reviled figures to local officials.

  • The statue of the lifeboatman looking out to sea at the Nayland Rock is one of Margate’s enduring landmarks. It commemorates the tragic capsize of the lifeboat Friend To All Nations in December 1897, with the loss of nine lives<br />
<br />
Margate is a seaside town in Thanet, Kent, England. The town's history is tied closely to the sea and it has a proud maritime tradition. Margate was a "limb" of Dover in the ancient confederation of the Cinque ports. Recent links with conservative and UKIP candidates. Strong local support for Nigel Farage and a very strong Brexit vote.

  • Boston Butt, advertisement for pork meat at Boston Market. Old white vote demographic for Brexit against immigrants<br />
<br />
Boston had the highest proportion of votes for Brexit in mainland UK. Boston in Lincolnshire was once a sleepy rural town. Since early the 21st century a large influx of economic migrants mainly from Eastern Europe have found work across Lincolnshire, working for the minimum wage in agricultural and construction industries, doing jobs that locals don't to do. Towns have expanded sometimes by 10% during this period. British business needs the migrant workers to survive, but but local people voted the highest proportion for Brexit, 75% against 'Remain', in a protest vote against migrant workers.

Banking is just the tip of the iceberg with many other industries also making irrevocable decisions. The damage to the economy from Brexit is already afoot — so much so that the act of leaving the EU itself is, at this point, increasingly irrelevant. Businesses are closing, uncertainty reigns.

  • The Peace Bridge is a cycle and foot bridge across the River Foyle in Derry, Northern Ireland. It opened on 25 June 2011, connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. It is the newest of three bridges in the city, the others being the Craigavon Bridge and the Foyle Bridge. The 235 metres (771 ft) bridge was designed by AECOM,<br />
<br />
The bridge was opened to the public by EU Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn; accompanied by the First and deputy First Ministers, Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness; and the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny. It is intended to improve relations between the largely unionist 'Waterside' with the largely nationalist 'Cityside', by improving access between these areas, as part of wider regeneration plans. The bridge also provides a crossing over the railway line approaching Waterside station

Around 3,600 people were killed before the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. If a hard Brexit produces a fixed border in Ireland, this peace agreement could be destroyed and the violence could start again.

  • Kirkcaldy is one of the poorest areas in Scotland with staggeringly high numbers of child poverty. Many disadvantaged families, and vulnerable people, and over a thousand children are surviving below the breadline in Kirkaldy East, that is 40%. Voluntary organisations and foodbanks give over a thousand food parcels a month, several times more than a few years ago. The Conservative government’s policy of austerity together with the new ‘Universal Credit’ system which replaced six other benefits, makes millions of people poorer, many hundreds of thousands on the poverty line or below. Whilst people overall voted strongly against Brexit in Scotland, in other parts of the country, poorer constituencies voted largely for Brexit, in a vote against the City of London.

  • NO Exit No Return<br />
<br />
London was the only region in England that voted to remain in the EU referendum, but the British public as a whole voted to leave. Banking is just the tip of the iceberg with many other industries also making irrevocable decisions. The damage to the economy from Brexit is already afoot — so much so that the act of leaving the EU itself is, at this point, increasingly irrelevant. Businesses are closing, uncertainty reigns. Brexit is increasingly fraught with uncertainty after the UK's parliament rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal many times.
