Brexit

[towny44]

From the clips I saw they were letting the ambulance through, and I note you have returned to your belligerent self once again.

Look at that clip that Leave.eu posted, encouraging far right thugs to the streets. Proud of standing up to an ambulance.

When it comes to those kind of people too right I'm belligerent.

For once you would be better served by watching the BBC.

You are (deliberately?) missing the point.
The leave.eu clip is encouraging thugs to the streets in the name of Brexit.

I take it by your replies, you are happy with this.

Since the paramedic switches off his siren and there is somebody beckoning him is it not feasible the patient is somewhere on the right hand side on the pavement?
There is nothing on the BBC News so I presume our Jack may be jumping to conclusions. I feel sure if the protesters had held up an ambulance (which I find highly unlikely and would condemn myself) there would be plenty of the BBC site. As it is there is absolutely nothing.

Our Jack can read
"Brexiteers in yellow vests bring Westminster Bridge to a standstill in protest at Theresa May's Brexit sell-out"
and
"This is what happens when the Establishment ignores the will of the people... Support us at...."

That, to me is encouragement from Leave.eu
I will admit that I do know who these thugs are and their intentions. It is going to get worse.

Were not many of the streets of London blocked the other day by a small crowd of people including Jack who would not accept the result of the June 2016 "peoples vote"
That of course was different as the anmbulances could not even attempt to get through

[david63]

In my limited experience of London the streets are, in and around Westminster, blocked by protesters most days!

Jack, since the mere mention of leave.eu seems to raise your blood pressure, can I suggest that you don't view their website anymore. The Labour party has a similar effect on me, that's why you will never see me viewing their website, or even reading their election flyers which I recycle faster than Lightning Bolt.
But I also would endorse Foxy's condemnation of the protesters if they did deliberately delay an ambulance first responder.

The small crowd the other day was close to 1 million.
It was all legally arranged and the streets were blocked by the police.
On the march in June I unfortunately witnessed what happened when someone was taken ill (I do not know if they were a marcher or resident).
Paramedics had quad bikes and moved swiftly through the parting crowd.

the ambulance was (trying) to head south over Westminster Bridge. St Thomas's Hospital stands on the South Bank of the Thames, adjacent to Westminster Bridge.

Is it not equally (and probably more) feasible that the ambulance was trying to take a emergency patient to hospital? If so, the delay may have been life threatening

It's not unlikely at all that the ambulance was held up by these protesters.

Anything is possible but without hard facts we are again speculating and picking which side is correct according to our views. Protesting and blocking roads can be annoying if you are caught up in it, but only last month climate change protesters also blocked Westminster bridge, strange that we never heard any claims that ambulances could not get to St Thomas's on that occasion.

You didn't hear any claims that ambulances could not get to St Thomas's on that occasion because climate change protesters are not knuckle-dragging f'wits.

Who knows, maybe an ambulance was held up by Climate Protesters.

However, Climate Protesters didn’t Tweet a video of themselves blocking an ambulance !

The source of the video is from Leave EU themselves. (@LeaveEUOfficial) so they’ve made this despicable action public.

Per @faisilislam (and others) these ambulances are use to move staff from Guys to St Thomas’s (and vice versa) to deal with patient emergencies.

I can’t believe that some on here are trying so hard not to condemn this action by these idiots. I know it can be hard to criticise people you have aligned yourselves with, but come on, what happened yesterday was just plain wrong

[Manoverboard]

Yet another option is that the Unite Union ' arranged ' for the ambulance to be there ( for bad press ) else they were making a transfer of a patent in a non emergency situation.

I didn't bother to watch it as I somehow knew that it would simply be yet another example of good ol Jack …. being Jack

This very unfortunate incident will be the tip of the iceberg if the anti democrats get their way.
The far right will high jack the event and eventually take to the streets followed quickly by Antifa.
Riots and chaos will ensue in London and the Remainers will have no one to blame but themselves.
It will be the end of the world as we know it, culminating in full blown civil war.

That's my best try at Project Fear.
What do you think ?

Meanwhile, back at the factory, dear old Teresa did her best but was sent home with her tail between her legs and a pat on the head from Juncker.

Anyone who still has their memory will remember when Juncker did that to our old friend David... and the result.

" Following the UK crashing out of the EU and the resultant lawlessness brought about by the total breakdown in the NHS and the lack of basic foodstuff available in the supermarkets. Bands of vigilantes have hit the streets searching out the principle Brexiteers. It is reported in the Daily Mail that one group of particularly well-heeled Brexiteers have booked onto a world cruise to try and escape the retribution. "

Nice one Ray

After seeing the way that the Prime minister has been treated in Brussels, I've unilaterally decided to cancel my Med cruise in June.
I don't want to spend a single penny of my hard earned cash in any EU country.
UK hols for me in the future.
My next cruise holiday will be round Britain and if Dublin is on the itinerary, I will get off but will not spend any money.
This is my one man protest against the EU.
Hopefully, millions of others will feel the same.

This time could be different, the stakes / steaks are far higher for both of them.

What they say in public is of course entirely different to what goes on behind closed doors, TM will return to ensure that the re-wording is acceptable to her Party and the DUP. Then she will return to the EU to agree the subtle changes that are required.

It was interesting on QT on Thursday when David Davis was saying that it is from now on that the EU will actually start negotiating as that is their way - playing "brinkmanship" and leave it all until the last minute.

How about a little seasonal music to cheer us all up?

Touché, Keith! And a happy Christmas to you too!

[towny44]

I think your's was funnier, more tuneful and understandable Keith, I got bored with Jack's before it was a quarter through, and I couldn't understand a word, which was I guess reminiscent of Jack's posts.
