Stupid sods. Might have been judged to have been terrorists and simply run over or even shot. Hopefully they are all arrested and shown how stupid their actions were.
Who is the Stop Brexit t**t? Can someone gag him please!!!

He’s a protester from Wales. I searched today. He’s an infuriating berk.
I notice the BBC kept homing in on the anti brexit protests. I wonder how they manage to get the time off work to do it
Steve Bray....constant pain the a***
Always within visible earshot of any interviews

Well, that was a speech and a half! I sincerely hope that Boris can deliver because that was real old fashioned tub thumping rhetoric.

No-one would deny he can be a skilled orator.
Hopefully he'll appoint some competent people and just leave them to get on with it.

Let's hope he has learnt from that mistake.
Trouble with the Iranians is they don't care for anyone who isn't one of them unless they are providing them with what they want.
Some serious stuff coming up in the Straits though, so some real diplomacy required.

I see the usual lefties have been out protesting near Downing St. Don't they have jobs to go to or a life to live? #sadleftieswithnolife

This one's a bit more sinister.
The new British patriot's attitude to free speech. The right to peaceful protest was once something the Tory party was proud to say was a 'good thing' about the UK.
Bantz!

It is his right to protest absolutely and I , for one, admire his tenacity & ingenuity.

It's truth is it not? Protestors who just protest at the drop of a hat just confirming whatever bias they already have and not making things better for all - even the media have largely stopped covering it great detail. Glad they have the right to protest, but it's like listening to a broken record stuck on the same track for 3 years now.

I support anyone's "right to protest" within the law.
Anyone who breaks the law should expect to feel the force of said law.
EG: If shouty man/Extinction Rebellion/Tommy Robinson et al are asked to move on by a suitably appointed Constable then they should.... or get nicked.
Interesting footnote, "shouty man" often claims College Green is a "public space", it isn`t, it used to be part of the old Palace of Westminster, and is owned by parliament, so can be closed to the public at any time without notice.
Equally any "fulltime" protester brings themselves under the spotlight as to their employment status, funding etc.
"Shouty Man" is just a "Stop Brexit" version of Brand Tommy........... he`s making a living out of it and when that happens purpose & morals are long gone.

And yet you complained about about the French authorities response to the Gilet Jaunes.

They should be glad it was the plod on his bike. If the close protection officers following had got close it might have looked very different. How do know who is the protester and who is the terrorist? What if at that moment of contact they had detonated a bomb? They managed to halt the cars approaching which must have given the security forces some real high blood pressure.
Very silly and very naive people.

GB complained about the French police taking robust action against the Gilet Jaunes who were causing criminal damage etc.

There are certainly instances of the French Police going far beyond what would be accepted in this country. The blinding of one protester is a case in example. I am unsure what or who, you refer to when you write "GB". I cannot find any mention of a UK Government complaint. That the French police used some very debatable tactics is without doubt and I would not wish to see anything of that nature repeated in this country. However, that is not an example of what happened yesterday. They were some very silly and naive folk who thought it would be a good idea to halt the process of someone under very robust protection. Fortunately for them, they were guided away with minimal force.
I don't believe walking in front of traffic constitutes free speech or legal protest.

GB is shorthand for the person I responded to and there was a thread on the gilets Jaunes.

Ah, cool. I managed to not get drawn into that thread. Makes sense now.
Having lived in France for a while I got used to the errm, eccentric(!) ways of the French police/gendarmes/etc. Quickly learnt that it was best to stay well out of their way. Particularly the Gendarmes when they turned out. Nasty buggers with no sense of humour and for some reason a dislike of "les rosbifs"
