Britain
It's Only Democracy If They Win

Tonight there was a rather large demonstration against Boris Johnson and the Tories in central London, I believe near Downing Street. Of course, Johnson hasn’t done anything since yesterday to justify the angry demonstration. Basically, the leftists were protesting the fact that they lost the election. Any outcome other than a left-wing victory is, to them, unacceptable.

It looked very much like a similar demonstration in the U.S. of the sort that is described in the press as "mostly peaceful." Protesters carried signs promising to "defy Tory rule," just like the anti-Trump "resistance." Other signs carried by the mob‐entirely white, as far as I could see‐decried racism. In Britain as in America, it is "racist" to disagree with a leftist, regardless of whether the subject at hand has anything to do with race. Here is a short video that shows the protest:

#16  They might try France — all those empty country manors desperate for tenants — but apparently the common folk there even more strongly dislike the EU, so after the UK leaves, France might decide to follow.

Italy has the empty country manors without the drive to leave the EU, so that’s another thought.

#14  If the super-liberals flee Britain they'll probably go to some other European nation. I feel sad for whatever nation that gets them.

#13  Democracy has to fight against mobocracy to survive. People call it police brutality. It's what the bloody fuzz are for, saving the majority from selfish deniers of others' rights.

#11  Ha ! We had anticipated the win and already cancelled the citizenships of some Labour supporting communal leaders and activist types. Now they can buy apartments in Dubai, run with their activism money, take their chances.

#9  What does this mean? From g(r)omgoru’s Leftwing Newspapers link:

But as the statements of intent to leave Britain emerged on social media after the exit poll, voices emerged in response, urging people to put the interests of those without the means to move country before their own.

Dims have an Alice-In-Wonderland view of Democracy. One must be wary of falling down this rabbit hole as Wonderland doesn't make any sense.
