    We have them sometimes. Sometimes, they're worth paying attention to. Other times, the protesters make good speed bumps.

    I mean, at least the Spanish government is more honest about its intentions. The UK government pretends to offer up a path to exiting the EU but instead tries to sabotage it every time.

    That's the pompous British elites trying to maintain their precious status quo (the totally non-productive parasites of England).

    Today's Brits are nothing like the Brits of the past. Some Australians may realize this.

    I think all countries have protests in equal measure , as is their right to do so ....the only thing that has changed is that legislation has been passed to make peaceful protests now illegal , which has naturally turned people violent . Forcing people to just shut up, while their liberty and freedom of expression are being usurped will always end badly .

    I think leaving the EU is the best thing for England , but only time can tell - it depends entirely on how they develop after leaving. Brussels is not capable enough to dominate Europe politically.....they should go back to being a trading block , and let each individual country run their own political affairs.

    I can agree with that. It's like what is happening in Hong Kong.
