You hear in these chats that there are going to be riots in the street and a big activist movement and it is really pathetic. Farage's great march to London was a pub crawl with about 50 people with goody bags and the March and October deadlines was full of threat which amounted to nothing. The activist movement in the Remain camp always draws 100,000s of people and there is never any trouble. All this talk about revolution and riot from the Brexit group is just hot air. I guess this is because the average age of a leaver is 70 something and they much rather stay at home and watch Miss Marple on the television hahahahaha

      I personally think the uk should stay, but if a second referendum is done, then it breaks down the fundamentals of democracy. Its like shaking a magic 8 ball until you get the answer you want. Because if they do a second one, what's stopping a third? Or a fourth? Until they get the answer they want.
      Although I disagree with the outcome of the last referendum, it imo, should be the vote that's taken.
      And hey, what if Parliament wanted to pass some inhumane law, but it got vetoed... But they just kept doing a revote until it eventually got through. Re rolling a brexit vote would basically be saying that this is an acceptable thing to do.

      This piece aired on the CBS Network on Oct 27, 2019. Actually, the our American news media have known about John Bercow for quite a while now. It's just that most of our news media has become biased towards either the Republican or Democratic parties and they've each dedicated more time towards Congresses Trump impeachement hearings then they have anything else. Some of us Americans also know Bercow because Prime Minister's question time is telecasted here on C-SPAN on Wednesday mornings at 7 a.m. New York time, which is 12 noon your time and is repeated on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. C-SPAN is our public affairs network avilable to cable TV subscribers. It normally broadcasts sessions of the U.S. House of Representatives, which is our lower house of Congress, whist C-SPAN 2 broadcasts sessions of the US Senate, which is our upper house of Congress.
