Maggiemaybe- I do not 'object' to the media attention as such - I expect fair reporting of other groups too.
No mobs so far- just a few idiots popping up here and where. But yes, I am concerned that people like Farage and others- are getting ready to stir trouble - by manipulating those who will be very angry if Brexit does not happen, or in a very soft form. Because many people are angry and dejected- for all sorts of reason- and Brexit has wrongly become the focus for that anger and dejection. It has happened before, here and elsewhere.
Of course Farrage is egging them on ,that's what he does best,happily being payed extremely well, whilst sitting back &surveying the ensuing mayhem ( no pun intended! )
I’m a bit confused, jura2. You talk about mobs, about how dangerous they are, yet you object to them getting media attention?
We’ve had demos and marches, yes - not something I like to see but we’re talking a few hundred people, and no more active I’d guess than in most other free countries. If we’d had 60,000 right wing extremists marching through our capital city, as Poland had a few short weeks ago, I could understand your being so worried.
Look at how demonstrations so far have gone, and how they have been reported. 1000s and 1000s of remainers peacefully demonstrate, all ages, all walks of life- and the BBC totally ignore them
A few t***s from EDL and BF turn up for anything and they make page 1 and all the News...
You talk as though rants on public transport and in the street are everyday occurrences. They’re not, and I very much doubt they ever will be. Not in this country, anyway.
But whether it would come to violence on the street or not is hard to say. Pro-Brexit demos haven't been terribly well attended, have they?
And when we asked the question on here some months ago, 'what would you do if Brexit didn't happen?' there wasn't exactly a rush of streetfighting Grans...
We can mock and laugh, and also feel sorry for some of the people whose comments in TV and newspaper interviews, and rants in streets or public transport- often showing very poor level of education and understanding - but they will be dangerous- and Farage is egging them on?!
