London's River Thames became a battleground on Wednesday, when armadas from the 'Leave' and 'Remain' camps of the EU referendum campaigns clashed in front of the Houses of Parliament.

As dozens of boats gathered, both sides hurled insults at each other as startled politicians watched from the terraces of the parliament buildings.

Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, Britain's anti-EU political party, led a flotilla of 30 fishing boats from Ramsgate along the river as part of his call for Britain to take back control of fishing around the British coast.

"We are much better off out of the European Union. We will get our 200-mile fishing limit back. The Spanish are making a fortune out of our fish, and that is not right. We want that work for the North East of Scotland; it is very important," said David Coburn, a UKIP Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Scotland.

As the convoy reached the Tower Bridge, they were greeted by a rival flotilla from the Remain campaign, led by rock musician and campaigner Sir Bob Geldof who backs staying in Europe. Geldorf shouted at Farage he was "no fisherman's friend" as the two traded insults across the waves.

Campaigners fired water hoses as boats circled each other, while Metropolitan Police boats intervened to keep both sides at safe distances.

The flotilla arrived just as David Cameron was delivering his final Prime Minister's Questions time in the House of Commons ahead of the June 23 referendum to decide if Britain should stay in the EU or leave.

Most of the questions fired at Cameron, from all sides of the chamber, were from Remain supporters.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne provoked anger, including a threatened rebellion from 57 of his own Conservative colleagues, when he announced an emergency budget in the event of a Brexit win in just eight days.

Osborne said that there would be a 30-billion-pound (42.5 billion U.S. dollar) cut in public spending to tackle a black hole in the economy, with the possibility of a 2-pence rise in the basic rate of income tax and a 3-pence rise in the higher tax rate.

Spending on police, transport, and local government could also be cut by five percent, warned the Chancellor.

Several polls released Tuesday showed the Leave campaign ahead of the Remain campaign by around seven percent, and Britain's best-selling newspaper, The Sun, came out in favor of Brexit. As for whether to leave the EU, different people have different views.

"If the so-called Brexit people win, there will be a legacy of very right-wing populist politics in this country which I think we have seen emerge during this campaign. It is not the sort of Britain I would like to see, and they are not the sort of people I would like to see running the country," said Harvey Morris, a former journalist for Financial Times.

"The EU Commission is unelected. They initiate the laws that come out of the EU and there is a question of where their direction comes from. I do not think that is clear or obvious, and it is just not democratic," said James, a London resident.

The outcome of the Brexit referendum has not only given worldwide markets enough reason to react to, it has also provided the Summer Davos enough rationale to ponder upon.

Participants of the summer edition of the World Economic Forum in China's Tianjin have to part with their scheduled timetable to specifically focus on Brexit and its impact on world markets and global economy.

"I do think the markets over the weekend and already on Monday when markets opening in Asia, followers around the world will be focusing on what happens next. How do we digest this? There is already a lot of political speculations, if not economic news but political news speculations out of Europe. Is it fast or slow and what does this mean? But I think it's important to put this into context. We view this now as a shock and surprise, but not a crisis," defines Michael Falcon, CEO of Asia Pacific, Global Investment Management at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Not quite along the same line, an industrialist from Britain itself shares his opinion with us.

"I think the issue for us is one of instability and uncertainty in businesses wherever they are; don't like instability or uncertainty for investment or jobs. We are a very strong business, and we will be a very strong business," says Larry Stone, president of Group Public and Government Affairs at BT Group which is a British multinational telecommunications service provider.

One financial analyst has offered to complete the two-pronged concerns.

"If certain affiliates choose to move out, then people in the UK who support those affiliates are going to lose their jobs. So to me, the big story is about the people, about the people of the UK," says Gary Coleman, managing director of Global Industries at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited.

At the annual Summer Davos are either policy makers themselves or their consultants; so price fluctuations and employment are their top concerns of course.

As the co-host of the forum, the chief of China's National Development and Reform Commission has aired his concern on the impact of Brexit on investment.

"The status quo may lead to a capital outflow, a plunge of asset prices, and a weaker exchange rate. Investing enterprises may face risks of falling asset prices and exchange rate fluctuations," says Xu Shaoshi, director of China's top economic planner.

The founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum is more philosophical.

"I think it's too early to predict what will happen. I also would like to always remind myself it was not a vote of UK. It was mainly a vote of the older generation and it teaches us that the older generation may be more fearful about the future compared to the young generation which has voted much more in a poorer European in an open way," says Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.

The three-day forum in Tianjin has to open an exclusive panel discussion on "After the Brexit" on its opening day, after Britain voted last Friday to leave the EU by 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent in the referendum.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What did you make of today's Supreme Court ruling?)

"Expected.The establishment stick with each other, so Parliament will have a say. But it's funny, isn't it? Because it's one of those rare times when Parliament said to us, the people, 'you decide', and the government made it perfectly clear they would accept the result, trigger Article 50, and get on with it. But here we have a judgement saying that it goes back to Parliament."

3. Farage during interview

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What do you make of those that brought this case and ultimately won it?)

"Well, I think every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit. So this will come to the House of Commons fairly quickly, there'll be amendments to try and give us a second referendum, there'll be amendments to try and keep us in the single market. I don't know whether any of them are actually going to succeed, but I do think this: I do think that a fair-minded British public say 'look, we had a referendum, we had a result, what is it with so many of our MPs that they can't accept democracy?"

5. Farage during interview

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: The court case wasn't really about accepting democracy though, was it? It was about the letter of the law and it being Parliament's job to trigger this process rather than the Prime Minister, wasn't it?)

"Well, I have to say that it seems to me that we have a House of Commons that represents the common people, but in this case the House of Commons said 'You the common people make this decision'. There's no point arguing after a legal case. It's done. It's done. But it's just the response to it that we've heard from Liberal Democrats, from SNP (Scottish National Party), and indeed from some sections of the Labour Party, saying they will use this vote and debate in Parliament as an attempt to try and delay and dilute Brexit."

7. Farage during interview

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What is your biggest fear following this ruling?)

"My biggest fear is that the whole Brexit process is taking much longer than we were promised. David Cameron (former UK Prime Minister) made it clear: 'You're having a referendum, if you vote to leave, we will trigger Article 50 and you will leave'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Are you pleased that devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland won't get a say?)

"Had devolved administrations been given a say over this we would no longer be a United Kingdom, we'd be a federal state. So that was an expected judgement. Anything else would've been outrageous."

++BLACK FRAMES++

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Who do you blame for these legal wranglings?)

"Oh, I blame big money and the establishment. I mean, look. We all know that the European Union has been good for some people. It's been good for the wealthy, it's been good for big business, it's actually been quite good for many people in career politics. They're trying their very best to frustrate the will of the people."

++BLACK FRAMES++

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: Isn't it only fair to follow the proper process though?)

"What is the proper process? If Article 50 had been triggered immediately after the referendum, we wouldn't have had any of this mess. So the lesson, the moral of the story, to the government is 'get on with it'."

++BLACK FRAMES++

++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++

STORYLINE:

Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said he "expected" the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament must vote on triggering the UK's departure from the European Union.

Speaking on Tuesday outside the Houses of Parliament, Farage said he thought "every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit."

He said opposition parties may try to use the parliamentary vote to add amendments calling for a second referendum or to ensure Britain retains its status in the European single market.

A number of businesses in Britain have expressed their disappointment concerning Brexit and are taking a "wait-and-see" attitude towards the forthcoming negotiations.

Thousands of people took to street on Saturday in London and other places across Britain to protest the voters' decision to leave the European Union. The demonstrations won universal support among the business sector.

"I totally understand their feelings, I understand why they feel unhappy and insecure, but I think that they're trying to register the protests for their unhappy situation by voting against the EU, they've made profound mistake. I think that they have fallen for a lot of propaganda which is based on racism and xenophobia. This is not only wrong in principle, but it is wrong in terms of the 21st century where we live," said Keith Bennett, deputy chairman with Global Group International Holdings Ltd.

More than 30 million people voted in the Brexit referendum, a 75 percent turnout. The share of votes for Brexit was only four percent higher than the opposing side, meaning the Brexit decision was voted in by just over 800,000 people.

The Chairman of the 48 Group Club says that some voters might not have done enough research before the referendum, which he believes should have been basing upon the interests of the country.

"Before you take risks, you assess them, you do a lot of research and we've made a jump into the dark without properly - if I thought we could do better as a county being outside of Europe, I would support it, it is not emotional attachment to a building or flag, it is about believing in the best interests of British, lie in being members of the European Union. But I think there will be another vote in some form," said Stephen Perry, chairman of the 48 Group Club.

The Brexit has taken its toll on the stock and foreign currency markets in Britain during over the past ten days. Two major banks in London - the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Barclays Bank have made it clear that they won't transfer their main sources of business out of Britain so as to help maintain London's position as the world's financial center. Some multinational corporations have also decided to wait and see what conclusion the upcoming negotiations will reach before making business adjustments.

"We might have to move, say, bits of our anti-trust practice from London to Brussels perhaps, but we'll wait and see. And I think most of the clients, particularly the financial institutions, are just waiting to see how we get through the next two months, and how these negotiations start looking with our European partners," said Robert Elliott, Chairman and senior partner with Linklaters LLP.

"Before you take risks, you assess them, you do a lot of research and we've made a jump into the dark without properly - if I thought we could do better as a county being outside of Europe, I would support it, it is not emotional attachment to a building or flag, it is about believing in the best interests of British, lie in being members of the European Union. But I think there will be another vote in some form," said Stephen Perry, chairman of the 48 Group Club.

The Brexit has taken its toll on the stock and foreign currency markets in Britain during over the past ten days. Two major banks in London - the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Barclays Bank have made it clear that they won't transfer their main sources of business out of Britain so as to help maintain London's position as the world's financial center. Some multinational corporations have also decided to wait and see what conclusion the upcoming negotiations will reach before making business adjustments.

"We might have to move, say, bits of our anti-trust practice from London to Brussels perhaps, but we'll wait and see. And I think most of the clients, particularly the financial institutions, are just waiting to see how we get through the next two months, and how these negotiations start looking with our European partners," said Robert Elliott, Chairman and senior partner with Linklaters LLP.

Anti-Brexit demonstrators took to the streets of London on Saturday to protest against the June referendum vote to leave the European Union (EU).

The protesters, some carrying EU flags and placards whilst others with faces painted with the EU colors, marched from Hyde Park to Parliament Square, where a debate is scheduled to be held on Monday on whether a second referendum on EU membership will be held.

An online petition has reportedly gathered more than four million signatures demanding another referendum vote.

The protesters said the nationwide referendum vote was based on a turnout of less than 75 percent and that the "leave" vote came out below 60 percent.

On June 23, 51.9 percent of people voted to leave the EU while 48.1 percent voted to stay.

Organizers of the march said they want the government to delay the triggering of Article 50, the formal process for leaving the EU, and are also calling for a greater voice in how the process of the Brexit takes place.

"We want to show that there is a very large community, thousands here today across the country, they want to have a dialogue with the government about our position in Europe, about the ability to first of all tell us what Brexit means because there doesn't seem to be a plan. The Cabinet that met the other day seem very divided on the issue. We want to understand exactly what it means, and also to make sure that they know we want to be in the heart of Europe, we want to be as close to Europe as possible, and to stop them triggering Article 50 until there is a plan," said Fabien Riggal, an organizer of the march.

Another organizer said the Brexit vote has led to a surge in hate crimes against minorities, a worrying consequence from the referendum.

"So, in the aftermath of Brexit there was a big increase in hate crimes, that people being abused in the streets. Tragically, the other week, a Polish man was killed. And there is an atmosphere that many people from different countries, people of different color, they fell threatened at the moment," said Owen Jones, another organizer of the march and a media work.

Prime Minister Theresa May has currently ruled out a second vote.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) David Davis, Brexit Secretary:

"What we said was that we wanted a mandate for the way we are approaching Brexit. If you remember in parliament the Labour Party was saying 'Well, we accept we are going to leave the European Union but not in this way', and part of this was... There were two aspects to this approach to Brexit, one was getting a mandate for the sort of Brexit we want, that protects us from House of Lords interference and those sort of things and the other one was to actually give time, two to three extra years to complete the process. Those arguments still apply."

STORYLINE:

Britain's Secretary in charge of exit talks with the European Union said despite the Conservative party's possible failure in getting a majority in Parliament, the country's approach to Brexit negotiations should remain the same.

British Prime Minister Theresa May's gamble in calling an early election appeared on Friday to have backfired spectacularly, after an exit poll suggested her Conservative Party could lose its majority in Parliament.

May had hoped the election would focus on Brexit, but that never happened, as both the Conservatives and Labour said they would respect voters' wishes and go through with the divorce.

UK Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Theresa May of pursuing a "shambolic Tory Brexit" to appease non-ministerial lawmakers in the ruling Conservative party.

The comments were made during the UK parliament's weekly Prime Minister's Questions session.

Citing a UK Treasury forecast that said the country's withdrawal from the European Union would cost its economy 66 billion pounds (88 billion US dollars), Corbyn asked May whether retaining Britain's access to the European single market was a "red line" the government would not cross in its exit negotiations.

May responded by saying the government would be "ambitious" in its attempts to secure the " maximum possible access to the European market," but that it was also clear that the result of June's referendum showed the public's desire to curb EU freedom of movement.

European Union officials have often declared that single market access is co-dependent on the freedom of movement of people, and the issue has been cited as a major stumbling block in the UK's future exit talks.

"The reality is that since the Brexit vote, the trade deficit is widening, growth forecasts are being downgraded, the value of the pound is down 16 percent," Corbyn said as he asked the government to give reassurance to Britain's businesses and workers.

Signs that Britain may be headed for a "hard Brexit" have alarmed some business leaders and contributed to a slide in the pound, which has lost almost a fifth of its value against the dollar since June 23.

Opposition lawmakers - and some from May's own Conservative Party - say Parliament should be given a role in approving Britain's terms.

The government says a vote in Parliament is not required.

But in a bid to head off a Conservative revolt during Wednesday's debate, May has promised that lawmakers will get a say, as long as it "does not undermine the negotiating position of the government."

But secondly, in relation to what we're doing in our negotiations, he doesn't seem to get what the future is going to be about.

We gave the British people that vote, they have given their decision, we will be leaving the European Union, and in doing that we will negotiate the right deal for the UK, which means the right deal in terms of operating within and trading with the European market. That's what matters to companies here in the UK and that's what we're going to be ambitious about delivering."

We on these benches (Labour Members of Parliament) do respect the decision of the British people to leave the European Union, but this is a government that drew up no plans for Brexit, that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit, and offers no clarity, no transparency - and no chance of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy. The jobs and incomes of millions of our people are at stake, the pound is plummeting, businesses are worrying, and the government has no answers. The Prime Minister says she won't give a running commentary, but isn't it time that government stopped running away from the looming threat to jobs and business in this country and the living standards of millions of people?"

The former leader of the UK Independence party and the architect of Britain's successful "Brexit" campaign appeared on stage with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Jackson, Mississippi, on Wednesday.

Trump linked the movement fueling his campaign to the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union.

During his speech, Trump has also labeled Hillary Clinton "a bigot", what drew loud cheers at the rally. He said his opponent Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have taken minority voter support for granted.

Leader of the British Liberal Democrat party Tim Farron met with the European Parliament's lead Brexit negotiator, Guy Verhofstadt in Brussels on Wednesday.

The two men discussed whether or not article 50 can be revoked, according to Farron.

While Verhofstadt called for the British to show some reciprocity once Britain formally makes it's request to leave the EU, saying "We will not undo the European Union. We will not destroy it."

Farron and his political party believe the British public should be allowed to vote on another referendum once the negotiations have finished between the EU and UK.

"We discussed a number of issues, not least the issue of whether or not Article 50 can be revocable. I think that is not yet clear. My personal view is, if the political will is there on both sides of the (English) Channel so to speak, then of course it should be. It's also been interesting to clarify that the European Parliament will have a vote on the final terms of the deal, irrespective of what some Conservatives have been saying."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Farron, UK Liberal Democrat Leader:

"With all due respect to my friend Guy and to Theresa May, our prime minister, it is my view if we believe in democracy, that neither of them have the right to impose on the British people a deal that the British people did not vote for. The British people voted for departure in June. We respect that. That is the direction we had going. But they did not vote for destination and the terms of the agreement, the terms of the deal that Britain will have on its departure from the European Union should be put to the British people in a referendum and on that referendum ballot paper should also be the right for the British people to remain if they don't like that deal."

"We will not undo the European Union. We will not destroy it. We will not, for example, destroy the single market. We will not undo the four freedoms that are linked to this internal market. That is clear. Reciprocity is an important element of this negotiation but without giving up in fact the unity of the union and the single market and the four freedoms."

13. Various Farron talking to journalists

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Farron/UK Liberal Democrat Leader

"She (Theresa May) says meaningless things like red, white and blue Brexit. Like, Brexit means Brexit because she hasn't got the foggiest clue what Brexit means and it would be much better if she gave us some idea. I think Theresa May is basically a decent straightforward person who is a prisoner of the nationalist, protectionist right that has taken over her party just as much as the socialists momentum has taken over the Labour Party. I look forward to Conservatives who believe in a pragmatic way forward with Europe, with Britain being a part of the single market, acting in a way which is good for business, dumping those in that party that are doing so much harm to our country."

16. Verhofstadt and Farron leaving the news conference

The leader of the UK's anti-Brexit Liberal Democrats on Thursday hailed a by-election victory for his party, saying it showed that people did not vote for a "hard Brexit".

Tim Farron was speaking in Richmond, southwest London, after his party's candidate Sarah Olney won the vote.

Olney said that a range of issues were behind the vote for her party, including Brexit and opposition to the expansion of London Heathrow - the UK's biggest airport.

London - 2 December 2016

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Farron, leader of British Liberal Democrats party:

"The people of Richmond Park yesterday voted to send a message to Theresa May (British prime minister) that the British people did not vote for a hard Brexit that will damage our economy and future generations and our standing in the world. They voted instead for a country that is open, tolerant and united. They voted for an excellent member of parliament who will be a voice for millions. Without wanting to make Sarah (Sarah Olney, newly elected Liberal Democrat lawmaker) again, her story is something which is exemplary. Eighteen months ago she was not a member of the party. Eighteen months ago she woke up after a devastating result where fear and division won and liberalism lost and she decided not to cry into her coffee but to roll up her sleeves and to make a difference. And there are millions of people out there who felt that same way after the general election last year, who felt the same way after the referendum in June, who maybe felt the same way the day after Donald Trump was elected president. Sarah is the reminder that populism does not necessarily have to win. These results - Brexit, Trump, the last general election - there was nothing inevitable about them. It is entirely possible for moderate, progressive people to win through and the people of Richmond Park, Sarah is the embodiment, shows that that is possible."

++BLACK FRAMES++

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Olney, newly elected UK lawmaker from Liberal Democrats party:

"All the main candidates are united in their opposition to Heathrow (Airport) expansion and I think what drove the voters to cast their votes yesterday, it would have been on a range of other issues and not just Heathrow. The mayoral election - it's not something that came up a huge amount on the doorstep actually. One or two people mentioned it. Certainly those who cared about that felt very strongly about it but I don't think it was, I don't think it was as big an issue as Brexit."

G20 finance ministers and central bank governors convened a two-day meeting in Chengdu of southwest China's Sichuan Province on Saturday, with discussions about the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union expected to dominate proceedings.

Less than five months have passed since the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting in Shanghai at the end of February, but the global political and economic landscape has changed significantly.

The UK's vote to leave the EU, known as Brexit, has brought about a huge impact on the world economy, and the finance ministers, central bank governors and heads of certain international organizations who have gathered in Chengdu for the session will be aiming to reach consensus on how best to handle the situation.

Brexit's potential effects on the global economy have been illustrated by reductions in International Monetary Fund (IMF) growth forecasts.

On the day before the UK's historic vote, the IMF had been planning to raise its 2017 global economic forecast, but the referendum result prompted it to lower the projection by 0.1 percent.

The IMF expects the UK's economy to be more severely hurt, cutting its forecast for the country's 2016 economic growth rate from 1.9 percent to 1.7 percent and slashing its 2017 outlook from 2.2 percent to 1.3 percent.

It also warns that the relocation of a large part of the UK's service industry to the euro zone would deal a heavy blow to consumption and investment, leading the country's economy toward recession.

To reassure the public, HSBC and Barclays announced that they would not transfer their main businesses out of the UK in a bid to maintain its position as one of the world's financial centers.

But some other transnational corporations are adopting a wait-and-see approach.

"We might have to move, say, bits of our anti-trust practice from London to Brussels perhaps, but we'll wait and see. And I think most of the clients, particularly the financial institutions, are just waiting to see how we get through the next two months and how these negotiations start looking with our European partners," said Robert Elliott, senior partner of multinational law firm Linklaters.

Given the interruption it has caused to the economic globalization process and increasingly intimate political and economic ties, Brexit has become a landmark anti-globalization event.

It has also added more uncertainties to the commitment that G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors made in Australia two years ago to seek to lift their collective GDP growth by more than 2 percent above the current trajectory over the next five years.

About 34,000 marched through streets of London on Saturday to protest against the result of last week's Brexit referendum to leave the European Union (EU) which that has plunged Britain into political chaos.

Flying EU flags and holding banners with slogans of "Me. EU. Us","We are better together" and even "Our future has been stolen", the marchers were calling for a policy U-turn that will see the referendum result overturned.

As the UK narrowly voted by 52 percent to 48 percent to leave the EU, the residents in the capital strongly voted to remain and feel they will be dragged out of the bloc by the rest of the country.

Protesters in London said that many British voters were unaware of the dramatic consequences of Brexit, and now there should be a second referendum.

"To tell them to never give up, that the fight can still continue, that we cannot be beaten up by this xenophobia, by this whole commercial rubbish. We actually are Europeans, and I want my great-grandchildren to grow up into a world which is united, a united Europe, a united world, but we are Europe. My parents came over when my mother was an Irish immigrant. Yes, that label was used, there was a lot of prejudice. But the prejudice is now so absolutely heartbreaking and nauseating, that I am just saying do not give up," said an elderly protester, who gave a speech during the demonstration.

However, the march took place against a backdrop of political upheaval with a leadership election in the governing party and a leadership crisis in the opposition.

The UK is not even near beginning the difficult negotiations that will ultimately see the country decide its new relationship with the EU.

Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron took part in the anti-Brexit march. He has vowed to fight against plans for Britain to leave the EU as part of his pledge for the next general election.

"It is clear what the British people, or a small majority of them, voted against, not clear what they voted for. We need to be able to dictate the closest possible relationship with Europe is what is best, in Britain's best interest, not economically, but culturally," he said.

A far-right politician in the Netherlands has warned European Union leaders that "punishing" the UK for Brexit will damage the EU more than Britain.

In an interview with Sky News, Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Freedom Party, said "the Europhiles were beaten by the British people, I hope that they are not seeking revenge".

The demand for a so-called "Nexit" referendum will be central to his party's campaign ahead of a general election in the Netherlands next year.

His comments came ahead of a summit in Brussels where discussions about how to handle Britain's departure from the EU will get under way.

In the coastal town of Volendam opinion is mixed over the idea of a referendum on EU membership with some expressing sadness over Brexit and others favouring their own vote on Nexit.

British MPs continued to react on Sunday to the UK's vote to leave the European Union.

Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, said it was necessary to find a way to keep the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland open to protect trade once the UK is no longer in the European Union.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has called the political situation in the UK, following the Brexit vote, "utter chaos and a shambles."

She also said Scottish independence may be the best option of securing stability for her country.

Labour MP Stephen Kinnock has questioned the ability of the leader of his party, Jeremy Corbyn, to take the country into a possible general election in the autumn, when Prime Minister David Cameron leaves the office.

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland:

"I am absolutely convinced that we will be able to find a way to ensure that we keep that border as open as it is today, it's very important that we do so. Particularly in terms of the prosperity of border areas."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland:

"I still believe that the result in the Scottish referendum on separation should be respected. The Scots voted clearly in favour of remaining in the United Kingdom when they did so they knew that there would be a UK wide vote on membership of the European Union but the important thing to do now is to work with the Scottish government and other devolved governments on ensuring that we get a good deal from the European Union."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Theresa Villiers, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland:

" I think it would be unwise to rush into that. I think it is important to have a period of informal negotiations before Article 50 is evoked. The European Council made clear yesterday that it is a matter for the UK government to decide when they invoke Article 50."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Kinnock, Labour MP:

"(The) political point is a general election is coming. In my opinion, the new leader of the Conservative Party will have to call a general election to get a fresh mandate this Autumn. The big question Jeremy has to answer is does he honestly believe he is the right leader of our party to take us into that general election, particularly in the context of a monumentally complex task of negotiating these Brexit negotiations."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Kinnock, Labour MP:

"I think that we need to see that this is a time for unity not division and for compromise not intransigence and we need someone at the top table for these negotiations who is going to be able to take a national unity approach. Now whoever is thinking of standing for the leadership of the party needs to be framed in that context. The job description has changed completely these are extraordinary times."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephen Kinnock, Labour MP:

"We of course have to set out a clear agenda for what these Brexit negotiations should look like, in or out of the single market, what do we do about immigration and security what do we do on jobs and growth. We have to set out an alternative vision."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister for Scotland:

"Utter chaos, shambolic and frankly disgraceful, you know a time when the whole United Kingdom needs leadership, probably more than it has needed leadership in any part of the post war period, you've got the Conservative Party and the Labour Party completely abdicating responsibility. They are letting down people across England, across the entire UK and I look on in utter horror, it is shameful and somebody needs to get their act together."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister for Scotland:

"I'm not starting from the premise of saying it's got to be independence, I'm starting from the premise of what do we need to do to protect Scotland's interest but if it does appear to be obvious that the only way we can protect Scotland's interest is by looking again at independence and that's an option that Scotland has to have and of course a second independence referendum in these circumstances would not just be a re-run of the 2014 one because the context has completely changed. The UK that we voted to remain within in 2014 doesn't exist any more and of course what many people saw as the stability of the UK versus the unknown of independence in 2014 is completely different. What we know for sure is that the UK faces real uncertainty and deeply damaging economic consequences of a Brexit, so independence may be the best option of securing stability for Scotland and that's an option that we must have the right to consider."

Tens of thousands marched through streets of London on Saturday to protest against the result of last week's Brexit referendum to leave the European Union (EU) which that has plunged Britain into political chaos.

Flying EU flags and holding banners with slogans of "Me. EU. Us","We are better together" and even "Our future has been stolen", the marchers were calling for a policy U-turn that will see the referendum result overturned.

"This referendum has divided the country. We do not want that to happen," said another protester.

As the political campaigning continued over the issue of Brexit on Wednesday, Oxford University students were happy to weigh into the debate.

Britain will vote in a vital 23 June referendum on whether to sever its relationship with the European Union and strike its own path without having formal ties to Germany, France and the other nations in the 28-nation bloc.

At stake is a complex series of arrangements that have brought Britain into a much closer trading and political relationship with the rest of Europe, easing the free movement of people and goods between countries.

It has also meant that British courts can see decisions overturned on appeal to European courts.

British Prime Minister David Cameron argues that Britain should remain in the bloc, but polls indicate the country is deeply divided, in part because of fears that Europe's open doors have brought too many immigrants fleeing warfare and poverty.

They seem to be promising some sort of utopia outside the EU that I think is really you know a possibility. I think there are risks for staying in and leaving and we shouldn't trivialise the issue by making it black or white or making stupid claims of either side really."

I think its harking back to an idea of territorial integrity and sovereignty that was more appropriate in the 20th century. Around the world you are seeing trends to increase regional organisation, whether that's in security, economics or whatever. I think stepping back from the EU is going against that increasingly globalised current and I don't really see that doing so would be a sound decision for Britain, particularly if we want to lay claim to some inflated position in the world. I don't think that it is the correct move for us to leave."

I think the Conservative government, someone like David Cameron would just sign us up to a similar sort of agreement and TTIP is one of the main problems that I have with the European Union at the moment, so I don't think necessarily it would be resolved by Brexit."
