Critics of Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit proposal across several parties staged the first in a planned series of rallies on Saturday aimed at mounting support for a clean break with EU.
The"Save Brexit Campaign"kicked off at the football grounds of Bolton -- a north western town with high levels of public opposition to the bloc.
It was headlined by May's former Brexit secretary David Davis and others opposed to her attempts to keep close post-Brexit trade relations with the remaining 27 EU member states.
"We didn't vote for whatever negotiations may lead to, we didn't vote for a series of deals,"former UKIP party leader Nigel Farage told about 1,000 cheering supporters.
"This was a vote about us taking back our country, taking back the ability to make our laws, taking back control of our borders and being an independent nation."
Farage later called EU leaders"a bunch of gangster"and"bully boys". The 80-minute event did not generate much British media attention but represented the difficulties May is facing both at home and abroad as the clock ticks down to March 29, Brexit deal deadline day.
