When you refuse to accept the majorities wishes in a democratic vote people will be , understandably, angry. I don’t condone any violence but I fear violent clashes will become much more common as people get very angry when you p**s all over the result.

This is a drop in the ocean compared to what would happen if Brexit were overturned by the political class. The Poll Tax riots will be a tea party in comparison, as the working classes rage against the elites who just cannot accept the will of the people

Our government is siding with the thugs, and treating the young, tolerant and well-educated with complete contempt. I might well vote for a moderate Tory party, but what I see now is a venal, dishonest, proto-fascist rabble.

These are 'The People' whose 'Will' @theresa_may is enacting Same 'People' who abused some of us oldies after the last #Peoplesvote march Same 'People' who murdered my grandparents in another time and another country #nazis

Brexit has empowered people to behave like animals, and we haven’t even left yet. Slippery slope is still pointing downwards, unless we can engineer a dramatic reversal.

You've got a nerve, we voted for Brexit, we were told our vote would be implemented so it's not a matter of giving into #Brexit , it's a matter of respecting the result. Globalism is evil.
The normal average person on the street in Sunderland HAS changed their mind - this is one of 2 Brexitometers we have done here recently. The far right do not represent the locals - they tried to hijack this event for their own ends and failed.

Shocking. You took to the streets of Sunderland expecting a groundswell of support for Remain and got? I imagine some pretty pissed off locals who, for 2 years, have been told they are racist, thick and didn't understand what they were voting for.

It appear that the new leader of UKIP Gerard Batten, has recruited Tommy Robinson and his hooligan thugs from the EDL to come fighting against peaceful #FBPE people.

This is who Parliament is siding with. The argument is we cannot have a #PeoplesVote in case leavers riot

Further evidence that we must not allow the Far Right to drag us out of Europe

Oh yes it's terrible when people feel betrayed by their corrupt government, a gov that tries to push its own agenda regardless of a majority vote. It's almost like the serfs think they have the right to decide the direction their country moves in, isn't that right Tyrant Soubry?

I wonder if any of these thugs work or know anyone in their family that work for Nissan.

Thank you, police officers, for keeping us safe 🥰

BrExit has ignited nastiness mostly on the Leave side? The PM allows people to think BrExit will overcome poverty and disadvantage; a wicked con.

Not every Leaver is a fascist, but every fascist is a Leaver. Violence comes as naturally to them as breathing. Sadly, tolerance and rational thought doesn’t do the same thing.

This is what Brexit means, always meant, always risked; giving in to this sort of thugishness. I'll never support any Brexit. Only 1/4 of the British people voted for Leave (millions were disenfranchised) and that based on lies, fraud & likely foreign interference. It's insanity

Nothing like the shame of you ignoring the will of the people and completely ignoring your own constituency. If you try to subvert the largest democratic result this country has ever seen, what do you expect to see?

I've never seen anything like it, an MP that stood on a manifesto pledge and backed a referendum and openly breaking it now.

It's repugnant to see what Britain has become with #Brexit, an authoritarian undemocratic regime oppressing contrary political viewpoints

This is what Brexit means - thugs think they are in charge.

Then stay in Westminster, the only place where people agree with you. The provinces want Leave.

I fear if that if remainers persist in undermining the result of the TRUE people's vote i.e. the actual referendum, there will be much bigger trouble than this. Democracy should be respected - the ballot paper promised the outcome would be respected.

Violence is never acceptable, but neither is your comment that ‘we will not give in to #Brexit’. You personally voted for the Referendum & to respect the result, voted for Article 50 and stood on a manifesto commitment to leave the EU. xitter.mooo.com/skisidjames/status/104…

Funny how the 'will of the people' brigade takes such offence at the idea of @peoplesvote_uk. The UK is a democracy and those against Brexit are entitled to their opinions as much as leavers. Obvious really.

You appear to have gone full EU now. Where has your 'accept the vote' statement gone? You now oppose Brexit - in direct contradiction to the manifesto you were elected on.

Disgusting behaviour. Having said that I still don't support a second peoples' vote. It'll tear the country and the party in two. We need to get whatever deal we can, get out and move on. This poison cannot be allowed to go on past March 2019

Absolutley. As bad as standing for office on a Brexit platform, then reneging once elected, but still taking the salary & expenses from the people who trusted you to act on their democratic decsion. #hipocrite
