Extremist Brexiteers Behaving Badly

Whitehall, London. Fri 31 Jan 2020



 March for England supporters and other extreme right Brexiteers came to protest against a pro-EU procession

 that was gathering to march to Europe House. Some shoulted insults, calling them traitors, pedophiles and more

 Some of the EU supporters tried to have a reasonable conversation and argument

 but some of the Brexiteers were extremely aggessive, confrontational and foul-mouthed

 

 

 

 This man had targeted a particular pro-EU protester

 who answered him calmly and got more abuse for his response.

 Police tried to move some of them away

 One woman began a long argument with one of the Brexiteers, who at first simply shouted at her through a

 megaphone, but eventually they began to argue more sensibly

 The police had moved most of them to the centre of the road where they continued to shout insults

 Tommy Robinson supporters

 'The People Have Spoken - Respect our Voice' but the pro-EU supporters were showing no disrespect.

 That one conversation continues...

 Meanwhile in the centre of the road people try to burn a EU flag - which turns out not to be very flammable

 while a mob of people with cameras on all sides - including me - try to take photos

 A flammable material from an aerosol can produces some flames but the flag just metls and chars

I soon lose interest and move away from the crowd


and met some Orange Order Brexiteers marching along Whitehall.
