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).

On more than one level, I'm afraid. The threats of an irrational bully who is vexed because a democratic 'Referendum' decision has not gone her way, even though she is pig ignorant of the facts of the issue which was the crux of that Referendum.

Couldn't happen on Tibb though.... Err, hang on a mo.

She didn't do herself any favours, she should have just walked on

Disturbing but hardly surprising. They are an intolerant mob.

So she turns up to an organised protest of people speaking out about the fears they have since Britain voted to leave the EU with a 'leave' poster and expects to receive a warm welcome?

Do I agree with the woman saying she needed to leave and take her poster down? No, that would be undemocratic. But do I agree that the woman shouldn't be allowed to criticise her for turning up to a protest she's not in support of? No, because that would also be undemocratic. So you end up with a pointless stalemate that goes nowhere.

Those who were protesting yesterday have every right to and people calling them 'undemocratic' have no sense of irony whatsoever, but as much as the other woman is allowed to turn up and proclaim her dislike of the cause, she has to expect criticism since she's a small minority who has appeared at an organised protest for a cause she doesn't believe in...it's pretty stupid, no? She knew what she was getting into, so there's nothing to see here.

So i suppose the physical assault by a man at the very beginning of the clip by ripping her placard from her hand was ok as well
