Hope for Europe joins Nish Kumar in Buxton

Nish, as you will know, is British stand-up comedian, television presenter, and podcast host. Best known for Late Night Mash and now as the co-host of the political podcast Pod Save the UK, Nish is a outspoken anti Brexit advocate.
Nish came to perform in Buxton Opera House last week and a group of Hope for Europe saw this as an ideal opportunity to recruit new supporters and to enjoy the show.
Well, outside the theatre there was almost a queue for our leaflets – both the Hope for Europe leaflets and the Face the Music leaflets flew at of our hands.
Next door to the Opera House is a well known watering hole, the Clubhouse. We were welcomed in, and the crowd was really glad to see us – everyone was keen to take leaflets. There wasn’t one dissenting voice. In fact people were sharing experiences of anti- brexit rallies. As we went off to the performance we were invited to leave leaflets for people to pick up later in the evening. It was good boost for our supporters list.
If you know of an event where the audience is likely to be pro-EU, let us know. While the crowds are gathering in a good mood is a great time to recruit more like-minded folk and a good way for people to realise that they are not on their own.
