Yellow jacket freedom fighters spreading to London

AG47

The yellow vest protest is all about the people rising up and fighting for freedom.

The bankers have had a free run at criminal behaviour and manipulations for too long, now the poeple have had enough and will. It stand for it any any longer

"Power to the people!" I hadn't realised the Tooting Popular Front was active again! You are Citizen Smith and I claim my £5 ...

What "freedom" are the 30 or so UK Yellow Vests fighting for? :cool:

Nonsense.

The UK version was just the usual racist thugs led by Tommy Robinson and his new mates at UKIP....

Sky News journalist Faisal Islam said he faced racial abuse from pro-Brexit campaigners outside Westminster. The political editor said a some number of protestors “specifically in yellow jackets” had shouted he was “not British” and “a rapist” while he reported on Brexit.

Kay Burley also shared a photograph of a man she said hurled misogynistic comments at her. She tweeted: “This charmer repeatedly screamed I was a slag during my programme today.

You made that up.

I'm no fan of either Mr Robinson or the new radical party UKIP has morphed into but nowhere in your link does it attribute these outbursts to either Tommy Robinson or to UKIP.

I believe Mr Robinson has been talking about legal action against Sky after they doctored an interview conducted with him.

Unfortunately for them, he had a mobile recording of the interview unedited.

Clearly, there is going to be bad blood between them, but it hasn't spilled into vests of any colour.

What precisely is this "freedom" thing that these people are fighting for?


I wonder if it will be the same as my definition of freedom?

I wonder what happened that suddenly so many people feel the urge to blatantly lie so much?
If these people had a truly convincing and valid point there would be no need for lies and yet people persist even when proven incorrect.
Small wonder there are such divisions in societies globally when so many opinions are formed from incorrect information.

In answer to the OP I really don't think the appetite is there for the British to take to the streets like the French. A laughable amount of people tried to 'protest' last weekend about Brexit. If Brexit is cancelled or not delivered and if the Brexit demographics statistics are to be believed most of the hardline Brexit supporters will need to arrange for their carer's to escort them to the rally point and get back to their care home by tea time.

dumb MP's saying young people will be worried for their future being outside of the EU....

We'd better off being out if it means House prices crash down to affordable prices.
