"Do not drink with idiots thanks"
I'm pretty sure you're not the target audience.
They're looking for people in touch with reality and who care about the future of the country.
And who are able to have a conversation without insulting peoole. |

Who is an idiot to you and why?"
You do not have to be a genus to work it out.
History tells you that this causing chaos to the rest of the population turns people against you.
Also most of the demonstrators no nothing about momentum who do not give a damn about Brexit or democracy it is an excuse to cause trouble and 90%of the protestors cannot see this. |

I was just making fun. This forum poster seems to spend a lot of time insulting people. I'm not suggesting it's a trait associated to either side of the debate. Or not. |

"If kids learned more about politics and what's going on in the world around them. Maybe we wouldn't be in this shit situation. "
What 6-7 y/o fuck wouldn't want you as a dad typical miserable remainer want everyone even your kids to be as sad as yourself.Kids need to be kids its not surprising there is so much mental illness these days with all the angst forced on them if its not global warming its brexit.

Hiding from and ignoring issues causes problems with mental health. Facing the issues and dealing with them helps to avoid mental health problems.
I never said kids shouldn't be kids.
Thankfully you know literally fuck all about me. So are in no position to judge my parenting skills.
You seem to be very angry though. Which isn't good. |

my mistake you didnt but you did say that kids should be more involved in politics and as you were referring to my post which was about 6-7y/o it inferred you were supporting it. |

I don't think it's the worst thing to take kids on a protest. Most of them are fun days out with music and what not.
This specific protest. I don't know much about. So I wouldn't say either way.
But I would always rather there wasn't any need to protest. And would always prefer to be kicking a football in the park or some such.
And yeah 6-7 is a bit too young. But maybe from secondary school, kids should be taught more about critical thinking. How to question the information they're given. |

So this thread appears to be mostly Brexiteers insulting people for using their democratic right to protest.
Stay classy guys!
Imagine if the case for Brexit actually had some good arguments and evidence for it, instead of cheap insults  |

I watched the Hong Kong coverage today.
Sky's corresponder dressed like a demonstrator in gas mask and hard hat.
Commentating on people throwing petrol bombs and half-bricks.
She kept downplaying it.
Mentioned a woman carrying a baby without any gas mask etc.
It really was the most biased coverage.
I think the police and China are behaving with great restraint.
Petrol bombs on the streets of Britain and the response would be brutal.

I mean, I'm just a miserable remainer, but this post makes you sound like a really horrible, vindictive, petty person. You almost certainly don't care, but I thought I'd let you know just in case |

However, people have a right to demonstrate in what they believe in. We have had that right for centuries. I'd hate to see that right taken away.
When people took to the street in their masses and peacefully demonstrated about the UK sending troops to Iraq, they made their disapproval clear. True, the troops went out to Iraq, but there were long term political ramifications.
Where there are political ramifications, there are gains/losses at the ballot box. Politicans will always take note of that. It can and does affect whether or not an MP stays elected in Westminster.

Judging from the disgusting mess the remoaners left behind, I'm assuming none of them give a shit about climate change. It's very difficult to ride two bandwagons at once  |

I took my kid on protests from the age of 7. We only ever do the shorter routes and it's followed up with a trip to St James Park and ice cream. He loves them and I think it is important for children to engage with politics or issues they feel strongly about. Each to their own!

If you look at any major policy change in the UK, usually it only came about after mass protest led the powers that be to relent.
The exception of course is Brexit - five years ago, nothing, no demonstrations, no protests, no-one on the streets, nothing.

Hmmm... But there were local poll tax protests that were peaceful as well. There were plenty at my local town hall and they were peaceful. Chris Patten lost his Bath seat as a result of the poll tax. He wasn't the only one.
As I mentioned before, troops did go to Iraq despite the demos, but there were long term ramifications. Mps are worried of they will keep their seats at the next GE. There is a point to demonstrations. I don't think violence at demonstrations is the answer,its a bit of a short term fix and not necessarily a positive one either.
Not everything is as short term as you think. People will wait by the ballot box. I can't wait to vote mine out,but I'll be patient. |
