Thousands take to the streets in London blocking roads and stopping business to protest about business stopping :facepalm:


I swear they really do think that we are now not somehow geographically not in Europe :hehe:


Anyroad the top speakers are Tim Fallon (:shrug:) and wait for it.......Bob Geldof off of Boomtown Rats:joker:


----------------------------------------------------


Would you join them?

So it's a comedy event then?

I know of a good few of my former Uni Friends who are on this March, good luck to them.

Yes its a Fun Event/



On LBC

Blocking up London making it hell for the tourists

idiots

Tens of thousands in London and York :clap2:

they should have voted that lot

probably too busy round at the artisan bakers buying marble rye and sourdough

Young people protesting a democratic result that will take them out of an undemocratic union. Whatever crap their college professors are pouring into their ears it seems to be working. :shocked:

At least it won't be as brutal as if Remain won.

That's what I thought at first too but then I realized I wasn't laughing.

I do find it hilarious that the Leavers who are like 'I'm so glad we left the undemocratic EU!' and shouting at those who are upset at the result for 'not accepting democracy' are adamant that these kinds of marches or people airing their opinions about the fears they have going forward shouldn't be happening :rolleyes: funny that, isn't it?

I accept the democratic result. Do I agree with it? No. Is it mine and other people's right to speak out in favour of the EU and air our concerns about the result going forward? Yes. That's democracy. It works both ways.

i bet half that lot didnt even vote

:facepalm:

lol if you turn up to a protest you're definitely politically engaged enough to vote but okay

I'd be more impressed if the dumb clucks actually investigated the apalling TRUTH about the EU - which they obviously have not, or they would not be protesting. :shrug:

Are any of those bandwagon protesters aware they are basically fascists? They are literally protesting against democracy on behalf of bankers and big business. :facepalm:

screaming @ 'fascists'

The only term that absurd phrase could be directed at is those who believe anyone who's fearful at the result should put up and shut up because 'democracy* has spoken'. No, democracy works both ways. You got your wish, now allow those who are worried about what this means for the working people of this country to speak out about those who are about to be abused by a hardline Tory right government without the protection of several laws enshrined under the European Union (something which has still not been addressed by anyone pleased with the result).

* 52% of 72% of the electorate

Jack
52%Win
48% Lost

Its all Legal
We are not going to pay the EU in 2 years,
Now we are Not in a War
we are in True Democracy

Even Labour said it Respects
The win Vote.

Even The BBC Respects the Win Vote

So with Respect to you Jack
we are going to Change Fast
and no one will Stop Democracy


I thank the BBC and Labour.

if the demonstrators are out on the streets because of the vote result, and they are trying to change the result, then its undemocratic.

They would be better served arguing the details of any arrangements for life outside the EU

they are protesting about not being in a trade agreement for big business?


:joker:


they are my favourite socialists

Leavers complain that remain voters want to protest a 52-48 vote yet what would have happened if it was the other way around? I doubt the EDL and the other extremist organisations on the Leave side would have opted for peaceful protests.

There's already been violent incidents and hate crime and that's happened when Leave has won....God forbid what fresh hell would have happened if Leave lost considering they were already crying about it being fixed when it looked like they might lose before the results were announced.

I would Have made LESS threads
and Got back to WORK

If 'Remain' had won, then there would be absolutely NO difference to what is occuring now;

the MAJORITY of losing 'Leave' voters would accept the democratic result, whilst the fecking idiot minority - extremists and all - would probably not accept the result and would take to the streets; causing civil disruption and trouble, because they are too immature to know what Democracy is.

Grousing over the Sunday dinner or over a pint, or even writing 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' type letters to the newspapers is perfectably acceptable, but whether Left or Right Wing, 'Remain' or 'Leave' - actions by IDIOTS which disrupt the lives of ordinary people going about their business, is NOT acceptable.

If I was driving through London or York and ANYONE stepped in front of my car as part of a 'protest' - I would RUN THE IDIOT OVER.

I would not, though, reverse over them, unless they had made me late for an appointment. :hee:

:laugh: Bang On Right Arista.

The daleks have moved us?

over 51 percent voted leave, and Im one of them who voted out, so remember, don't blame me, bunch of lefties, they should get their bums out of bed and earn a living, not expect the state to throw money at them,

yes I hear there was some graffiti in London

I think the army should be called in

:idc:

They are beginning to sound like a broken record.

This thread reads like the Mail Online comments section, it's embarrassing :umm2:

If it's truly democracy in this country then these people should be allowed to have a peaceful protest, as after all what's there to be afraid of if they're such a minority group?:hehe:

Young people are the majority of this country, the elderly won't benefit from these changes, all the elderly have done is made the younger generations take decades to get us back into the EU (which will happen) so well done.

Or are being attacked so badly financially that they don't even have a home?

The right to protest is enshrined in law so it's entirely acceptable, and always should be. Why on earth would you not want it to be?

This exact thing would've been happening had we voted to remain and half of the people lambasting these protesters would've been protesting and screaming about a second referendum themselves. And Farage would've peddled his 'in a 52/48 result this is unfinished business' even more, it's funny how that's just been forgotten now he got the result he wanted?

Have you studied it's benefits Kirk? Like they come and protect us if we get attacked by a non-EU country? Or the fact that we have trading deals with the EU? The fact that we don't have to have Visa's to live in an EU country? Or the fact that our Economy was the 5th best in the world?

But apparently I'm uninformed for stating these facts as apparently Immigration is bigger and more important than all of these isn't it Kirk? Or is it the imaginary hindering of the NHS which is really all of the Tories doing?

Really stop taking the Daily Mail and The Sun as gospel and laugh them off like the jokes that they are like most of us do when we read them, The Sun in particular aren't even honest with their right wing propaganda.

Precisely. Maybe they're scared that all the protesting will amount to a watering down of the things they hoped to achieve with leaving the EU and so want to silence them before it undoes all of their work?

If so, all power to them...

Lets hope when the olympics are on and the men's 100 metres race has finished that the guy who came last says...erm the sun was in my eyes so we need to do a re run. Lets see how many YES lets re run the race threads we get.

The winning side was always gonna try and silence protests.

Imo as long as the protest is peaceful and non-violent then I support the right for a protest like you do.

Basically I agree with you that the Leave side is scared that if these protests go ahead that it could swing a pro-Remain campaign into a new lease of life.

Protesting against a democratic result is not democracy though.

Can we start calling the pro-EU protesters what they really are?

Goldman Sachs lobbyists.

I'm presuming that the Olympics would do a re run if a player was impeded.

And condemning people for exercising their right to protest which is in itself an act of democracy is entirely undemocratic also.

People are protesting because they are rightly fearful of what this result is going to amount to, especially with the people that are about to ascend to power. That is their right. They are protesting against the xenophobia and racism that multiple people have experienced in the last week. That is their right. They are protesting because they want the things that protected the working people of the UK to be protected by the new government. That is their right.

The vote is done and a second referendum isn't going to happen. So what is the problem? Allow these people their voices if you're such a proponent of democracy, if it isn't going to change anything you're in support of then it's no harm done is it? Or are you scared that the things you've fought for are in jeopardy the more people speak out?

Either way, democracy works both ways. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
