British Yellow Vest Protests spread, Occupying Tower, Westminster, and Waterloo Bridges
The Daily Mail ^ | 12/14/18 | Alexander Robertson

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.

I think part of the reason they were using yellow is because of the high visibility, making crowds of such people really pop out...

are the yellow vests a good thing or a bad thing ?

the agendas per country are not necessarily the same.

They act more like ANTIFA or OWS

waiting for IRANIAN people to chime in with yellow vests...

I agree, plus apparently everybody already has one.

Here, I’d go for a better tactical solution, especially as we don’t already have that universality of availability.

Hope springs eternal.

One can always hope that the Romanians get hold of Soros because those people really know how to impale tyrants!

I was in an old school family run camping store about an hour ago. They have a lot of clunky outdoor stuff, more survivalist/hunter than Sierra Club. They also sold yellow safety vests. I remarked that they had them, and the woman running the place said “do you want one?” I said “No, but they’re very popular in France right now. Everyone’s wearing them.”

She laughed.

“Delete” made it disappear from my to/from lists.

YMMV.

Guess I have a buncha home work to do now...

It would be interesting if Walmart suddenly noticed a sharp increase in YV sales across the entire U.S.

I think it was the Uncle Mike’s flashlight mount? Not sure.

Seemed like it was about $10 at WM but I never had the $10 at the right time to grab one. They’re probably still around elsewhere.

I DID get my shoulder strap with extra shells attached to my Mossberg. I think the swivels were Uncle Mike’s.

I was thinking the flashlight mount was BlackHawk. Seems right.

I like the yellow because it unites we the people against the elites, the ruling class. The French apparently yelled: we want Trump. They agree with us. We should all join to fight this globalism.

Who knows, the old chopping block in the yard at the Tower of London may just get some more customers soon.

Many domestic Pols are gong to experience the stocks and pillories along with dunking stools. (17th century version of the water experience)
