To think there will be riots?

[Anoni]

Announced on the news that boris johnson may suspend parliament to reduce the chance of mps being able to block a no deal brexit allowing him to democratically force the uk to leave the EU.

Am i wrong in thinking if this goes ahead there may be serious protests and maybe even riots in london and all across the country to force the governments hand?

Panicking is what people do when they have been ignoring it for months

It’s not just food though, is it? I’ve got enough lentils in the garage to survive an apocalypse but I personally can’t prepare in a way that will insulate me from severe travel disruption or medication shortages for example.

May had a chance to achieve a compromise position back in 2016 with a Norway style deal ... the kind that Farage actually advocated back then. She missed that chance and everything since has led to this. The UK is f@cked - we’re in a position where an unelected PM with the consent of an unelected monarch and on the advice of an unelected bureaucrat (Cummings) decides to shut down Parliament (the people we did vote for) to push through No Deal (that no one in 2016 voted for as it wasn’t even a thing). EU membership feels like a utopian dream compared to this. Anyone feeling remotely upset by this needs to get off the sofa and do something. People are heading to Westminster right now to protest.

Parliament often doesn't sit including during party conference season and this session of parlament is already the longest ever so this is no big deal.
but isn't this different because it's a deliberate act to prevent opposition to something taking place ?

No.
I don't think there will be riots.
Remain supporters are a petty mild lot as are leavers

Of course if we lived like our grandparents we would be unaware of much that was happening

My grandfather worked a reporter based in Parliament, what happened there was well covered by newspapers.

@Tonnerre - there are a lot of protests springing up for tonight and also tomorrow I believe. Depends on where you are but if you're around the West Midlands there are ones in Birmingham and Halesowen. I've seen mention of Nottingham, Manchester and Liverpool also as well as London. I'm not much of a facebook or twitter type but I believe there is a fair bit circulating there.

Also, feel crap for the Queen. She should not have been put in this situation. Whichever way she had gone she would have been attacked for it.

@paulmasonnews
Tonight I'm going to stand outside Parliament with this message: democracy is beautiful but easily broken. To defend Parliament against the @BorisJohnson coup we need a peaceful but determined protest movement. King George V statue, 17:30 tonight.

I'm in another country so probably have no clue, but from here it seems as if there is no way out of this situation. I wonder what people woould be rioting for: what would they be demanding? To just go back to 2016 and pretend nothing happened?

Well the Queen is a 'secret' brexiter and most likely Tory so no surprises there.
Let's face it; we aren't as revolutionary as the French.

I kept seeing ‘Democracy is a Verb’ in the US this summer.

Crivit I feel more crap for the queen that a woman who accused her son of sleeping with her when she was a sex slave has asked him to come clean!

Maybe she's thankful for this move to Bury the direct call out to her slimy Randy Andy son?

Yeah because if there is a NO-DEAL BREXIT, and there is a risk of food shortages, medicine shortages, and a worry about power outages, amongst many other things, RIOTING and causing MORE chaos is JUST WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING.

For FUCK'S SAKE! What is wrong with some people???

Remainers never cease to amaze me with the absolute utter laughable nonsense they keep coming out with. Absolutely bonkers!

Roll on the day we leave the EU. Can't wait for all of this to be over, and for the Remainers to STFU!

We will have to strike a trade deal with the EU at some time.
The US Congress has been clear it will not approve a trade deal that threatens the GFA. Donald Trump cannot just give us one.
Brexit issues do not disappear because we have a hard Brexit.
We just get a new set of Brexit issues to sort out.

I take your point pumkin but it seems to me that it is a great deal easier these days, not only for ppl to have the abilty to read, but for them to access news( and I acknowledge , disinformation )

The Queen will not want to interfere. She's supposed to be unpolitical. And I can't see riots happening. People just want this over and done with after 3 years of Mrs May's prevaricating. At least Bojo's getting things moving and who knows, maybe the EU will see he means business!

I wonder what people woould be rioting for: what would they be demanding?

I would put in a physical presence in the street ( would not riot ) and it would be to try and demand that Parliament is not suspended .

You do the collective majority sensibility of most people living in the UK a huge disservice.

"We look forward to seeing you "get over it" when the supermarkets run dry, @Onatreebyariver. Or when anyone you care about needs insulin. Or a job. Or NHS care. "

Actually I live in the Channel Islands. We aren't in the EU. Our supermarkets operate just fine. Our diabetics use insulin, unimpeded; jobs are aplenty and our medical care is a damn side better than yours in the UK.

I appreciate it is a total revelation to you blinkered EU-philes but there are many prosperous independent nations outside of the EU and we've all made our own deals the EU that benefit us. The UK can do the same. It isn't rocket science. Look beyond the end of your nose.

The scare mongering is out of control.

*We need to be smarter and live how our grandparents lived, not at the I needed it yesterday pace we do currently...

Look at larger countries and how they operate, we are one of the richest countries who use to be self sufficient. *

Oh darling.

Thinking we can somehow drift back to the 1950s when the rest of the world is accelerating through the 21st century? I’m sorry but it’s not possible. Go to Asia and see the new cities there. Look at the banking and payment technologies that just need a mobile phone. Google Tencent. The world you want to go back to doesn’t exist any more.

And we haven’t been self-sufficient since the British Empire, when we became hugely rich by requiring our colonies to trade with us on poor terms.

Maybe she's thankful for this move to Bury the direct call out to her slimy Randy Andy son?

Political chaos must make for better cover than pantomime feuds and merrily-go-round weddings.

Owen trying to whip up some sort of hate on sky

The US Congress has been clear it will not approve a trade deal that threatens the GFA. Donald Trump cannot just give us one.

Correction: Nancy Pelosi said this. Not the entire body of Congress. There are plenty of Eurosceptics about who care way more about trade/jobs than punishing Trump for being Trump.

@maleficent7 - seen reports that the Queen leans a remain way as well. I'd hope so given her own familial lines but that doesn't guarantee it

@user1493759849 - What makes you think remainers are going to STFU? Anti-EU (and other E acronyms used during that period) people didn't following the first referendum in the 70s, even if it took them a long time to get another referendum they stuck at it. A lot of pro-remain people seem rather dedicated.

Can't wait for all of this to be over, and for the Remainers to STFU!

Oh yes, shows what a democrat YOU are!
