Brexit the economy and house prices part 6

I am just going to say this. Today there is a march against Brexit in London. The organisers have quite clearly organised it to get power for themselves. They want to be able to say that they forced another referendum. This is not democracy. You do not try to bully people into your point of view. However there is a personality disorder where people do this. This particular personality disorder causes people to have a sense of superiority and a feeling that they and only they have got everything right. What they can't do is see anything from a different point of view. The only thing that matters in their world is what they think and they want. If anyone disagrees with their point of view they can become extremely abusive.
Now this march today. There are two things that stand out.
1 The organisers have told the media how many people have attended.
2 The organisers of protests which are for the benefit of other people and which do not involve any advantage to themselves do not tend to worry about or tell people about how many people have attended the protest.
What this shows is that the people who organised the march today have done it entirely for their own personal benefit. People who do selfish actions like this tend to have this particular personality disorder. The problem is that they need gullible people to do their work for them.
What worries me is that I now know that around 100,000 gullible people have been manipulated by these selfish self obsessed people into attending a march. There is no benefit to the people on the march apart from a bit of gentle exercise the only benefit is for the people who organised it. They get attention from the media. I would prefer that instead of helping increase the size of the egos and entitlement of the organisers of the march those attending put their efforts into something that the country needs like raising money to help people sleeping rough. Of course this would not benefit the organisers of this march so it won't happen.0 -
Meanwhile, Nick Clegg is off to California and good riddance.

Can he not take a few more traitors with him?
But who are you going to hate once all the foreigners and traitors are gone?0 -

Unlike Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson who just have your best interests at heart.0 -

They haven't organised any marches that I am aware of so actually the people who organised the march today are worse than either of those two. So what you have today are people who are actually more self centred and self serving than either of those two. Why aren't people worried?0 -

Most will attend in the hope that sufficient numbers turn up as well. If they don't. Then the impetus will fade. Providing free coaches is one way of boosting numbers. Suggesting that asked to pay . People wouldn't be as keen. Money influencing politics yet again.0 -
I was talking to a guy yesterday who totted up his business + leisure travel spending this year and came to about £25k in mainland EU. He noted that it was the high spending Brits that have been keeping many EU hotspots thriving for the past 20 years. Let's see what EU unity looks like if the the European Parliament says they want to make travel difficult for Brits.
Yes, because that’s really all you people have left now isn't it? Every silly prediction of EU collapse in the face of British power you’ve spent the last year making has gone unfulfilled until the UK and it’s apparently completely ineffectual government is staring defeat in the face.
But, yeah we'll show them. Once all the orange British pensioners have emptied out of Torremelinos and the final fish and chips and salmonella cafe has shut in Magaluf - THEN THOSE FOREIGNERS WILL COME BEGGING.

1 How much did Soros pay towards this march, in one form or another.
2 The population of London itself is over 8 million & that doesn't count anywhere within easy commuting distance. Therefore even if 100,000 did attend that equates to only 1.25% of London's population!
To put this into perspective, by comparison Tottenham Hotspur alone get almost as many of their own supporters art every home match.
It's therefore fairly obvious that far more people care about football than care about the UK having another referendum.0 -
I don't hate anyone but Clegg is an appalling indivdual who campaigned for a referendum when he thought he would win and campaigned for another one when he lost.
I don't hate anyone either but I do have a big problem with people who have a certain personality disorder because of the manipulation and abuse. It is that extremely selfish manipulation including buying them by giving them free transport that gets 100,000 people to get them attention from the media that I don't like.
I don't like people who manipulate others for their own benefit. They are as bad as conmen. Basically I would like the organisers of that march to be humiliated it is what they need then you will see who they really are.0 -
Two things about this march that I wonder.
1 How much did Soros pay towards this march, in one form or another.

The football thing needs to be said. I expec they had to close roads to accommodate all the people on this march.
I would like to think that there would be payment from the people on the march towards the policing but somehow I don't think there will be and you and I will pay for it again.0
