Brexiteers March to Leave with Nigel Farage in Sunderland

10. Actually, you're right, it is 50 total!

I'll edit the OP for accuracy's sake.

I did check that with some online newspaper articles while writing the OP as it sounded odd to me too, but I was led astray. Oh, well.

The idea was they'd have a "core" group of 200 marchers who'd pay £50 for bed and board etc. for the two weeks, then others joining the march for shorter periods and making their own arrangements for food and accommodation.

£50 for grub and lodging for two weeks sounds like a bargain that might even appeal to the homeless, but then there's the company you'd have to keep ... and catering by Wetherspoon's?

At that price, it'd have to be heavily subsidized by Leave Means Leave founder millionaire Richard Tice et al. unless they're being put up in barns and subsisting on bread and water.

It looks like they didn't get 200 signing up for the whole thing anyway (a lot of names did sign up online, but many of them tended to be namesakes of a certain German dictator from WWII etc.), as eyewitnesses said they'd dwindled to around 70 not long into the first day's trudge.
