So far Julie its been very peaceful (the protests and anger from the leave camp). I hope it continues because as soon as things get violent, the battle is lost.

I'm an eternal optimist and always look on the bright side - its a much better state of mind than hate, doom and gloom.

... but then there is always Antifa. I can see them raising their ugly head soon.

He wrote to the ministery, and got this reassuring response.

Realist.
I'm, afraid the days of getting up out of my chair and doing something are long gone.
In any case I have seen enough bloodshed in my lifetime. I would rather we live in peace and continue with Jaw; Jaw. rather than War, War.

I believe it WILL happen.

Project fear a familiar refrain from people who simply have a different point of view, are we being manipulated thus taking the focus off the politicians.

Im almost in the same boat as you BB! and ldont think you
are being asked to join in any demos etc?
But myself l would like to be more useful than l am at the
moment!
But the trouble l am having is to find a brexit party office
near me to contact? I have looked on internet but all the
contacts so far appear to be individuals only and dont give
an office address or any way to make contact so have made
no progress so far? I have now decided to try to get the
dwarf berkow to allow me to give an address to the hoc from
the public gallery, and have sent e mails to him and my and
other MPs to this effect, to which bercow and one other
have acknowledged so far!
Whilst l dont expect anything to come of this it allowed me
to vent somewhat! My next job is to visit the tory office in
town to find what our remainer MPs stance is once again??
I feel we are in the hands of lunatics??

Don't worry, what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

The Brexit Party have called for a massive rally/protest on 31st October, no matter what has happened. Either celebration or anger , I imagine.
Personally, I think it's wrong to encourage that, but when we have seen the Union flag flown every inch of the way, every day of the week outside Westminster, and that fog horn of a guy who never shuts up, I can understand that many, very many 'leave supporters ' have just about taken enough .
No need to worry so much about MP's getting threatening emails, if this doesn't succeed, everyone will be subjected to fear.
