Among pro-Brexit protesters outside Westminster Palace to the ongoing parliamentary chaos over Britain's vote to depart from the European Union.
The demonstrations were held on March 29, the day the UK should have finally been leaving the EU, almost three years after the groundbreaking vote in which Leave triumphed over Remain by a margin of four points.
Looking beyond whatever the Brexit date ends up being, the chaos that has ensued over the last few months can only be seen as destructive for a country that has already suffered a societal split between rural and urban areas, working class and elites.
The Brexit vote was seen as a major rebuke to Anywheres by Somewheres, a victory of the local over the international.
Sure, many Brexit voters were in favor of leaving the EU so they could engage more fully with the rest of the world, becoming a so-called "Global Britain." But at least politically, it seems as though voters had had enough of being governed by an organization hundreds of miles away, where decisions are usually made discreetly and in a bureaucratic and only semi-democratic way.
Seventy-two percent of Tory voters think no deal would be the best outcome.
She's fought to extend the process by demanding a second referendum and even to call off Brexit completely.
