    I'm not sure that inconveniencing a supermarket would really help anything. You'd probably want to try and do something that'd inconvenience the people that make the decisions.


    I think that's why things like oil refinery blockades, trucks blocking off motorways or swarms of Taxi's clogging up Westminster would be the way to go.

    I disagree. :)

    A coordinated campaign could severely impact a specific supermarket chain.

    You could just as easily clog up their parking spaces, without much effort. And how hard would it be to prove you had malicious intent?

    I guess my point is that the nature of revolt could evolve, but how would we know it?

    How does that work exactly? Are they planning on emptying their investment funds to prop up their mattresses?


    I wonder how many yellow jackets would need to stuff their own investments in order to make a blip on funds where the establishment has billions invested?

    You'd be surprised how little it takes to set off a bank run.

    How effective can civil disobedience be?

    Remember the Brixton, Toxteth, Croydon, Tottenham riots. Plenty of people will use the "unrest" for other motives. Would stretch police resources at the current time. Plenty already on their plates to deal with.

    BOE would step in.

    I was referring to the French gîlets jaunes. If a run on a French bank started, the ECB would have to step in if it were legally possible. I'm not sure that it is.

    Yeah, but are you trying to bring down the retail banks, or the investment banks?

    I'm not trying to bring anything down. But you can't make a run on investment banks. They are a completely different animal.

    A run on the banks is a run on the banks

    Retail banks or investment banks it doesn’t matter

    It’s the currency the attack is on.

    The freedom fighters are fighting for free markets and you can’t have free markets with the current manipulated temporary new international monetary system that the world went onto in 1971
