Pro-Leave demonstrators donning yellow vests took over three bridges in central London today as they demanded Britain's exit from the EU.
Campaigners chanting 'Brexit now' stopped cars from crossing Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and then Waterloo Bridge as Theresa May held crunch talks with EU leaders in Brussels.
The group wore yellow jackets, reminiscent of the gilet jaune movement in France, in which demonstrators donning yellow vests have brought Paris to a standstill on consecutive weekends this month over minimum wage and tax complaints.

We’re they also demanding ‘We want Trump!’ ?
Is this still happening in the Netherlands in some form?
On another note, I’m surprised Merkel hasn’t faced this in Germany on a large scale.
The Brits now need to do a “crash” exit since May has so screwed up the negotiations by ignoring the Brit peeps wishes and Trump’s advice.
Good to see the Europeans standing up to the damnable globalists!!!
Is the vest-in-cars rule EU wide?
AFAIK the vest in cars thing is French, but that has become irrelevant.
The yellow vest (gilet jaune) has become a symbol of resistance against the all-powerful state, and those attempting to control the entire dialogue.
Dunno. Unless somebody is selling them in other places (now at a quicker pace).
Some here have suggested a US version with Blaze Orange Hunting vests.
I’d disagree with that, as it conflates gun control with other complaints against the gov’t.
Anything bright helps the Gov’t target individuals in the streets.
I’d suggest going with a camo vest/jacket with a minor blaze of orange strip somewhere in a less critical body zone.
In Germany, the required vests can apparently be yellow, orange, or red. They apparently were first required in 2014.
In other news, I just noticed that Egypt has banned the sale of the vests.
And a gun mountable flashlight.
Thanks.
I see more and more commercial and municipal truck drivers/crew wearing haz vests in their vehicles as they drive about.
Thanks for the info.
[In other news, I just noticed that Egypt has banned the sale of the vests.]
Not surprised. I suspect, here we go (meaning I think this will grow a bit but don’t think it will last long). I guess we’ll see.
WM used to have one for sale but not anymore. I’m sure it’s elsewhere. I wanted to buy one for my shotgun.
Of course, you’d only want to use it carefully (giving that it can make you an identifiable target to an intruder).
Right now, I’m not using the shotgun for home defense.
I have dreams of Soros hanging from a lamp post.
Wow...who saw THAT coming? /s
I need to get a fair to pretty good set of electronic headphones...
“I have dreams of Soros hanging from a lamp post.”
I have dreams of Soros impaled by a lamp post.
I think they have more protests planned there
Who knows, the old chopping block in the yard at the Tower of London may just get some more customers soon.
