Britons take to streets to protest Johnson's Brexit move

Ironically Boris Johnson’s latest move has, to a certain extent, united a divided nation. Pro and anti-Brexit protesters say parliament being shut down at such a critical moment in history can be interpreted as nothing less than an attempt at limiting the power of the people’s representatives to stop a no-deal Brexit.
Boris Johnson says there will be plenty of time for parliamentarians to debate Brexit and no-deal, but the people we are talking to here today say this protest is not all about Brexit, it’s about British Democracy.
When Parliament is suspended, no debates and votes are held. If this prorogation happens as expected, Parliament will close for 23 working days.
Legal action has been brought against the suspension. Lawyers say there may be no legal premise to challenge the Prime Minister’s decision. Already a judge in Scotland has ruled against the first legal bid to be heard.
