Gibbeting might be considered is a far-right backlash for Theresa.
She'll get off scott-free by comparison.

They came on buses and trains, carrying British and English flags and homemade signs. Elderly veterans wore their uniforms and medals. Young men handed out political flyers.
As the crowd swelled under leaden skies, a wail of bagpipes signaled the start of the march. A march for Brexit – a clean break from the European Union – and against Prime Minister Theresa May and any other politician who dares to defy the 17.4 million Britons who voted in 2016 to leave. “Hard Brexit, Traitor May,” read one flag.
Sunday’s pro-Brexit march by UKIP, a populist anti-EU party, was modest in numbers, less than 5,000 at its peak, and easily outnumbered by a counter-protest by left-wing groups. But it was the first stirrings of what could be a broader backlash to an idea now gathering force in Britain: that the exit from the EU should be delayed or shelved altogether.
On Monday, an EU court ruled that Britain could reverse its withdrawal unilaterally before March 29, 2019, the date of its departure. Hours later, Ms. May abruptly postponed a critical vote due Tuesday on her proposal for leaving the EU after failing to persuade lawmakers to support it. She vowed to reopen talks with EU leaders, but didn’t set a deadline for another vote.
This political impasse has fueled cross-party calls for a second referendum as a way out.
That prospect is a red flag to the men and women who marched Sunday against a “Brexit Betrayal” that many say would be the final straw. Some invoked the yellow-vested rioters in France, echoing the warnings by May’s allies that Britain risks civil unrest if Brexit is cast aside.

Well, I don’t think Trump started it, but he has without question been the global leader of that side of the conflict since he came down the escalator. I think he’ll go down in history as a very significant world-historical figure.

Don’t expect UKIP to emerge from the shambles of a new referendum on Brexit. I can see Nigel Farage starting a new party and a lot of Torries leaving to join. Voting Theresa May as the leader of their party and therefore the Prime Minister was the worst decision the Torries made after the vote. How can you have a Anti Brexiter in May negotiating the Brexit? It never made sense.
UK, Yellow Jackets are already taken. You’ll have to use a new color for your protests.
Like the frogs in france are yelling Trump, Trump, Trump.
Waaaay past time to rid England of the EU.
Someone help me understand. So May (and lawmakers) want to stop brexit and stay in the EU? If so why is she begging EU countries for support?
What does “a far-right backlash” mean?
Yellow vests and burning diesel in the streets?
Let them get rid of their “Asians” and see how fast they will become happy.
