THE yellow vest protests which caused havoc in Paris have hit the UK with London Bridge at a complete standstill.

The group of yellow vest protesters, believed to be pro-Brexit, completely blocked Westminster Bridge.

The group have now moved down the river and blocked traffic at Tower Bridge, causing havoc in the capital.

They are seen on Facebook Live chanting: "What do we want? Brexit.

"When do we want it? Now?"

Word is the BBS is under orders to not report this type of stuff.

They’re worried about it spreading, is the word on the reason why.

“What we are seeing is basically the arab spring”

Actually, the opposite. The arab spring was a fake uprising engineered by O’bungholes puppet masters and their cronys as a means of replacing arab governments with groups like the muslim brotherhood and anybody else hostile to western civilization as a means to enrich themselves and block gas pipelines from being built

Good.

Government in the UK and Europe is completely unresponsive to their citizens and if this is the only way to get action, so be it.

There is tremendous unrest in the UK and in Europe and these riots, being organic (not organized so much as spread by word of mouth and by the internet), they feed on each other. Today's riot in the U.K will certainly have an effect on what may happen in Paris tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the big day for Paris and Macron. We will see if the fire lit by the complaints about the gas/diesel tax will grow or die down.

Today's riot in the U.K

Riot? A few dozen rather sheepish demonstrators in one city hardly constitutes a riot. What's remarkable about the public reaction to the Brexit mess is that it's been so phlegmatic - plenty of headshaking, handwringing and keyboard marathons but not much else.

I plead guilty to more than a little wishful thinking when it comes to the riots. The governments in the UK and France need a wake-up call.
