People still miss the war and rationing, traitors and quislings.. We love a crisis, see how much people get excited by the prospect of a bit of snow ...
I'm sure some of that is behind the desire to destroy the country. We're just a bit bored and love confrontation with anyone and everyone !

Considering that people were calling the police when KFC ran out of chicken, our fortitude may not be at that level...

Re: Brexit
Pro-Brexit supporter (13-year-old girl) arrested for assaulting a policeman. I appreciate the country is divided on the issue but there is no excuse for this assault nor for not clearing the protest in advance with the authorities.
Quote:
According to reports, about 100 demonstrators took part in the protest, which began at 11am on Saturday with a blockade of Westminster Bridge. They moved on to Parliament Square, where they set off smoke bombs and sat in the roads.
The disruption caused tailbacks and diversions, according to Transport for London, which said buses serving the area had been delayed and subsequently diverted.
The Metropolitan police’s Westminster division reported the arrests on its Twitter feed. It said: “Four arrests have been made following protests on Westminster Bridge, SW1 at approximately 11am today. Three men arrested on suspicion of public order offences.
“A 13-year-old girl was also arrested on suspicion of assault on police. Inquiries continue.”

Re: Brexit
Well well well....A debriefing document prepared by the Greater London Authority put the number of attendees at October's People’s Vote rally at 250,000 - significantly below the campaign group's claim that they were joined by more than 700,000 people.

That would still be 248,800 more than attended Farage's pro Brexit event on the same day...

I would suggest the vast majority of that generation are dead. Those that were born before the war ( and therefore remember it) would have to be at least 80, probably 85- 90. Rationing ended in ‘54, those born in ‘54 will be 65 this year, and to have a memory of it they would probably need to be at least 5-10 years old. So be 70-75.
So I think we can rule out the war and rationing as a driver.

Well 17.4 Million beat the the Fake News 700K total any way... so your point is moot, as is usually the case with you.
People’s Vote have blatantly lied, doing the very thing they accused the Leave campaigns of doing.

People's Vote SHOCK:
This peoples vote is based on lies and made up figures
https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...ctober-protest
The “historic” march which was in favour of a second Brexit referendum claimed that more than 700,000 people marched in central London last year. However, a debriefing document prepared by the Greater London Authority put the number of attendees at only 250,000
Conservative MP and Eurosceptic Anne-Marie Trevelyan said: “Leaving the EU was an option on the ballot paper that attracted more votes than any referendum or politician in our history.
"The People’s Vote would do well to remember this and should stop attempting to dupe people about how many people support it."

People's opinions have changed. That's why 'leave' are petrified of another vote.

For most of this year, polls have shown remain ahead of leave, typically by four to six points. But in a referendum between staying in the EU and leaving on the terms that the government has negotiated, staying enjoys an 18-point lead: 59-41%.

It was written by Peter Kelner of YouGov. Fake news or unwanted news?

Re: Brexit
The polling company is YouGov, not The Guardian. Besides these polls are typically first published in The Times.
