    I strongly suspect that if the establishment do not respect the will of the people we will see a new political party dedicated to leaving the EU and - given the sorry state of both labour & the tories - it would stand an excellent chance of becoming the next government.

    Why on earth the objectionable remainers fail to grasp this probability after their failed propaganda led to Brexit I have no idea.

    Yes you are probably right, if only there was a party dedicated to Independent for UK. A sort of UK Independence Party, Or UK IP party if you will. Then finally the will of the people can be unconfined.

    The country is heading for doom and gloom as nothing goes up in a straight line.

    Property prices are a lot lower in london when compared to a few months ago and in central London, some prices dropped by 30% - we will get the domino effect v soon.

    Are these mansions and over priced new builds?
    Or have any ordinary flats dropped 30%?

    Look at the civil unrest spreading with the yellow vest movements. There is no way the people will stand for another bailout or bail in.
    There are many many people outside of HPC that now see a crash ... many running around in yellow vests at the moment.

    There are 66,000,000 people in the UK with reports of "dozens of Yellow Vest protestors;" is this your version of "many" in the same way that increasing property transactions is "less and less" in Crashy's world of denial? ;)

    The Official Monster Raving Loony Party had more supporters than the UK Yellow Vests; there were several elections where the OMRLP won over 1000 votes! :rotfl:

    What I don't understand is why in U.K. they only demonstrate on building sites and in roadworks.

    It's funny how the Yellow Jacket idea came about because the French legislate that every vehicle has to carry the jackets, so I believe.

    What's the equivalent here? Safety goggles? Maybe hard hats from construction sites.

    Street protests feel very old fashioned too. In an online interconnected world, you can use mass behaviour to swamp certain online services at key times. Coordinating such an attack would be difficult though.

    And instead of wanting the overthrow of the capitalist system and free stuff, their demands usually amount to nothing more than a smile from a pretty woman. Makes you proud to be British. (No offence Remainers.)
