The banner held up by a walking frame with shopping bag suggests civil war may be some way off yet.

The RNLI's history of saving poor souls in danger at sea. All these folk have is danger of loosing the only unwashed brain call they have between them. This is reprehensible and they should be charged for disruption to essential services. They also forget st George was half Palestinian half Turkish

Politically it's fine to call for the charges to be dropped. The reason why they're still in place is that the high court did not make any order quashing the ban. They just ruled that the ban was unlawful.

The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.
