...as French activists are in Paris?

Is there a Brexiteers' demo tomorrow including Tommy Robinson? I dare say the mainstream media will be out there looking for a Nazi salute.

Given the passions the May deal have provoked you might expect some hot-heads getting a bit naughty.

VE prediction: no cars will be torched in London and no policemen will be injured.

What are the relative merits of these two forms of protest?

many of the French protesters early on were not far right numpties but ordinary French citizens but that has been hijacked by some anarchists, far right protesters in the last rioting. Just as i predicted would happen
Different countries, histories, cultures, mentalities, objects of protest....

Apart from that absolutely similar :-)
Extremists always exist, and will jump onto any legitimate political group that is nearest to what they want. One ought not tar all, or ever hint at doing so, simply because of the infiltration of the few.

Rioting seems to produce results in France. Sad really as the example encourages others to try the same. We need authorities that listen to the will of the people, not manage/use/herd them. If this occurs then there is little worth protesting about.

Meanwhile it's a massive loss for a legitimate political party/pressure group to associate with well known folk who have loads of detrimental baggage from past activity. One can only hope that UKIP are not beyond restoration back to when they had just the legitimate political agenda. But if moderate UKIPpers get disgusted and leave, that becomes less likely. And that plays into the hands of the established main parties, who no longer have to take account of the independent voice of conscience.
You're buying into the establishment bull crap, OG.
Ukip are going in the right direction, up.
The French had a successful revolution, albeit some time ago. They are brought up believing that the people can do anything if they shout loud enough. That shouting spills over into violence and vandalism. It’s that simple.
Don't know if it's true. There are rumours that Portuguese riot police were deployed in France. That would be very dodgy, if true, imo.
As for the Brexit rally, I dare say some of the far right thugs will literally defend themselves today.
I have a cousin who’s just returned to the UK after living there 20 years as he says the anti British feeling is becoming uncomfortable. I have another aquaintance who was caught up in the riots yesterday and tear gassed (photos of him on FB with swollen eyes etc) as the gates to his hotel were locked.
zacs not the place to be currently.
I also have close friends there. The trip was booked many months ago and they’ve been ok. So far.
let us hope it stays that way..
Not buying into anything. I'm bright enough to see what's happening for myself. It's off in a direction that'll lose it public support.
The reason you think that, og, is you've bought into the establishment/MSM bull.
And you're wrong as time will tell.
The French politicos know from history that their charges will deal swiftly and ruthlessly with those who stand in the way of the will of the people.

It's what happens when republics replace monarchies.

We on the other hand are happy enough with a royal wedding now and again paired with the mistaken belief that a few transplanted Europeans living in massive houses are the only reason that tourists bother to come at all.
It’s been noted that French revolutionaries are traditionally classified by an item of clothing: from sans culottes to gilets jaunes. I wonder what item of clothing would exemplify the folks on the barricades if UKIP’s Brexit betrayal busters ever turned nasty ...
The scores are in and just as expected;
Yaxley-Lennon's Far-Right thug army- Arrests= 0
Our Anti-Racist Heroes- Arrests= 3 ( Disorderly conduct, possession of an offensive weapon, assault)

That just proves how much more Far-right wingers literally provoke decent people than vice-versa.

//...polygamy would best serve the needs of the children because the more caring emotionally stable adult role models a child has the better, surely?//

An interesting observation, Kvalidir. Your premise (on which your conclusion relies) is that a child of a man with four wives has (father apart) three extra "emotionally stable role models. Have I read you correctly?

PS: I must defer to your apparently first--hand experiences of polygamous relationships. Any of these polyandrous?

Last post a VE boo-boo. Not the first and probably not the last.
