What can they achieve?

Not much.

They got what the general populace voted for.

Hang on tight ;-/
Gee whiz. Getting more parallels with the referendum each day.
Everyone has a right to protest, or to act foolishly it seems.
OG, everyone has a right to protest but not to obstruct everyone else or cause destruction or vandalism.

As usual the left wing liberal elite and their sycophantic luvvie mates aided and abetted by the me me me snowflake generation cannot accept democracy. Unless it is working for them of course.

The days of these people are numbered, they are a minority who went too far and have now been uncovered. The EU liberal elite dictatorship had better be worrried. Very worried.

Marine Le Pen next?

I can understand people protesting if there is something to be gained from it but I can see no point whatsoever in creating mayhem when at the end of it all nothing will change. I find it quite upsetting to see Americans burning their flag. I doubt it will result in a re-run of the election.
It's their flag, they bought it, they can burn it if they want.

Yeah rioting is different from demonstrating.

OG. but peaceful demonstrations would achieve nothing either. OK, they would serve to illustrate that the demonstrators aren't happy with the result, but it would change nothing so it's a futile exercise.
Much like the protests by some remainers.

Some feel a need to express ans show opposition regardless how ineffective it will be.
AND >:-(
Well yes futile in as much as it wont get their goal, but sometimes it is better for people to let off steam. However, like I said above obstructing others going about their business, causing disruption to business, vandalism and violence are across the line.

I would have though burning the countries flag was a stupid thing. That will be there for future employers to see for many years. It can only come back to haunt you. It could also be seen as an act to incite violence I would have thought?
"What can they achieve)? Publicity, just what you have given them N.!!!
Was all the votes counted yet what was the final count Eh
They may be raging against polling companies and mass media outlets who either lied their way through the campaign or are not fit for purpose and should be closed down immediately.

Just more spivs in suits talking ***.

anneasquith at 08:38, publicity will achieve nothing either – much less bad publicity.
Rhymes with night
Protests were on the cards no matter who won - the only difference is, which supporters are doing the rioting.

It's not about 'changing' anything - clearly that is never going to happen - it's just about making feelings known, and everything will settle down after a few days.
On the BBC news site is still shows 3 States left to come in. Find that difficult to believe.
