why are we not protesting

this government has ****ed this country up so much yet no one is doing nothing why are we not taking to the streets and protesting Theresa May is turning this country into North Korea. I want our country back, I want Illegals deported and I want out the EU now, why is this so hard. The people voted out, this is what the people want. **** you Theresa May and your government, such a shame that Jeremy Corbyn is also a complete knobhead as well

"I think we should protest"
"Why"
"Country fkd up Theresa North Korea Corbyn bad man illegal immigrants bad"
"Yes but what are we protesting for"
"I THINK WE SHOULD PROTEST"
Because protesting is just a meaningless display of self entitlement and grotesque level of narcissism. It has zero effect. You are not living in a backward dictatorship where yelling gibberish in the streets is the only way. If you want a change, there is already a system that will allow you to change how things are. It's called the elections.
Why aren't YOU protesting?

You did last week, in your, er, hundreds.
Because I don’t want to be in a crowd full of people who don’t even know why they’re here, they just came because why not,

Protests are almost always full of ignorant people.
Can you even explain why? You sound like you have no idea why you're even talking about this.

No, the working class voted for it. To these champagne socialists they don't qualify for people.
Like North Korea, ummmm not really.
there was a huge protest, a million on the streets just a week or so ago wasn't there?

When has an election ever changed anything? Even if they did your vote only really counts in marginal constituencies.They are called safe seats for a reason.
you'd probably be dead right now if we were really like north Korea
Leavers don't protest as they will get shouted at with abuse by remainers, and remainers protest but half of them are just doing it as they belive they are fighting for some righteous cause that they don't know much about. Either way protesting isn't very effective, but people can do what they like I don't care, opinions are allowed. Also a lot of leavers are of an elder population or one's with jobs and family's so struggle with getting out and protesting, whereas the average remain person is a young adult with more free time and less responsibility.

Yes, very amusing. But it was London.
I wonder how the white elitist class would have numbered had their protest been held in say Newcastle?

Don't worry, you'll get your chance to vote the Tories out in the next general election. That's the only means of change.

I want our country back, I want Illegals deported and I want out the EU now, why is this so hard.

Ah, but you are a Tory. Awkward!

The people voted out, this is what the people want.

Wrong. 17 million people voted Leave, which means 30 million people didn't.
And one thing that has become perfectly clear is that those who did vote Leave can't agree on what they do want.

If you have 100 people watching the news on TV, and 52 want to watch something else while 48 want to keep watching the news - if the 52 have 5 different ideas of what to watch, with only 10 people in favour of each, and they can't agree on a compromise, the sensible thing is to continue watching the news, not to kick the screen in.

Oh, when you said "white elitist" I assumed you were talking about Farage's march.

This is an excellent analogy!

Perhaps the only difference is that which channel you're watching is a fixed thing. There's no room for compromise there, whereas with our future relationship with the EU there is room for compromise between two different deals.
