The EU have the upper hand mainly because some British politicians have been actively working against Britain and helping the EU or using brexit to attain power or party politics. And they make no secret of it. I would not be surprised if brexit never happens and or we are made to vote again until we give the correct answer. I cannot stress how serious this is. Britain is a safe prosperous country. What has made it so is its democracy and the people having faith in the political system and the rule of law. If that's questioned then who knows where it will lead? You are correct shaggy to say people are angry and I don't think it's started yet. I keep hoping common sense will prevail and this is just brinkmanship and in a few weeks a deal will be agreed. But I am not confident at all
It is a ridiculously dangerous game for politicians to be playing
It's probably nonsense but I did read one thing activists could do is completely block the nations motorways by co-ordinated slow driving across the countries motorways. They could bring the country to a halt. The yellow vest campaign in France stopped macron I know Britain is more reserved than France but if stop brexit the politicians had better know what they are doing
Difference is Brexit had divided uk people right in the middle, while in France there was a big majority not happy with increased fuel taxes and decreasing spending power. But if you think blocking everything because of brexit will make lives better, then yes, I would encourage you and your buddies to try.
