What all modernly fascist collectivist governments and their supporting media and apologists dont want you to know is that you dont need to have a civil war today at least initially and depending....they confiscated your guns to stop only this...all the people need to do is gather centrally and then wider impede on mass all travel the arteries of that particular city...this is quite simply not violent to any citizen simply it is accomplished via the weight of the people...barricading the lifeblood of the city.
The yellow vest know this and have put it to good effect...the government doesn't much care about the central protesters really but they do care about the thousands who all around the city wider where forming barricades into city places of work, public office and commerce.
UK is completely stuffed...it's a true 2nd world environment behind a 1st world facade now for so many replete with a totalitarian police force and a public service egging them on ...all that is up in the air is when as more and more people are impacted over time into recognising how second world their life has become through no fault of their own..no fault for a minority of them anyway but masses will pretend they didn't vote for it as the protest beside those that actually didn't vote for it.
Will watch the next 5-10 years with interest for as to where we will be a decade or so after them....of coarse somewhat depending on the brexit outcome
