I'm sorry, but to me, this is no different to the thousands of idiots who run riot through our town centres every so often disrupting other citizens lives and creating unnecessary work for the police and civic authorities, and all because their football team has lost.

...democracy has had it's voice through the ballot box Kirk and that voice has been given 4 years in it's apparent 'protest vote' for many, whatever percentage but whatever the reasons for that democracy vote, it has a very generous 4 years anyway..I think it would be extremely intolerant and extremely ironic to not have the protest against the protest, have a few short days/ a small amount of time to heal and to voice in this peaceful way...(and if there is violence and rioting, that should swiftly and harshly dealt with..)...yes it may be disruptive, but whichever which way the result..it was always going to be strongly felt and was always going to disrupt...it's been said so many times, let's see what happens with Trump as president well let let's also see what happens with this protest because atm there are no riots, so lets not assume there will be..if there are then they have to be dealt with but the worst thing and the bigger 'build up' thing so we're often told is to try to stifle a voice that needs it's feelings heard...
