A bloke I work with (public school/cambridge degree) keeps on about IQ tests for voting... completely missing the irony that Cameron (or Johnson), with the "best education money can buy", has shown levels of ignorance and incompetence that by his standards could only be attributed to someone who doesnt even posess a single state school GCSE.

obviously a badly worded question. I meant who is organising against the LDs and Nathan and his mates that are trying to overturn the result?

Very Liberal. Very plural voting à la JSM.

Did you point out that we've already had the vote and they lost?

passers-by telling them that is inevitable but there's likely to be organised counter-campaigning as well, with 'A50 Now' stalls setting up around the country, quite possibly across the street from this sort. We'll see how much resonance their competing views have with the public (and which public and where) over the next few weeks.
I suspect we're entering what's likely to be a period of self-activity leading to new organisational formations for battles ahead. The people in Reading and those protesting this afternoon in traf sq and elsewhere are a little ahead of the curve. Who are they? Youthful and cleancut they may be but that's a demographic not political description and doesn't explain how they've organised to have a stall. Is this something ad-hoc from facebook or does it spring from pre-existing mainstream organisation, ie are they simultaneously applying to join the Labour Party, have they got a May/Leadsom/Gove vote, do they think the LDs have any relevance to anything? or are they outside established parliamentary parties, in which case where are the strings and who is pulling them??
educate is ongoing
agitate is starting
organise is coming
The questions will be how to do that, who to side with, how to effectively counter the pro-neo-liberal right wing dominance of all sides.

Missing that people who are so incurious about the reason for the result are hardly likely to be intelligent either. Ask him to show you the mathematical workings for education level correlation when age is removed as a factor, the figures are all available publicly.

That belongs in Handwringo surely. Wow though, he's like a real life caricature.
it's a right wing prick as far as I can tell

that's a lot of people for a spontaneous protest.

Yeah, scrolling through his other tweets it certainly seems that way.

Ah, well then I applaud him.
Presumably the invitations go out when people sign up to "Breentry" and other protest sites via Facebook?

I can't help but notice the huge numbers of very young people in these protests. A couple of my colleagues fit into the youngest vote bracket and say they voted Remain, but they seem quite sanguine about the result, having researched and therefore seeing bad as well as good about the EU. The stats suggest only 36% of under 25s turned up to vote (which will be based on the number actually registered), so how much is social media led hysteria and how much is real sentiment or knowledge? 2 out of 3 of them can't have missed that the referendum was taking place nor that the outcome was expected to be close.

Possibly young people are less cynical so are more inclined to believe the doom laden hysteria from Gideon and his crew?

So many particulars. So many questions.
those wankers camped out at just the perfect bottleneck on an Embankment to T square march route to film people as they passed by four in a row. The stasi cunts. I covered my face

they don't see themselves like that, of course. I've had messages from friends asking why I'm not there but find myself reluctant to say 'cos I don't agree with it' as I don't want to start falling out with anyone this early into the coming battles.
