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.

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

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 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'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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
