Lynn,

I am indeed aware of the comparison. They were protests against the 
current situation but were not for a coherent (and achievable) new 
desired order. As a result (following misrepresentation before the 
referendum) we are now faced with disagreement on what the government 
should be seeking as a divorce settlement from the EU. You have a 
President-designate (not elect until after the electors have cast their 
votes on 19 December) whose policies are unclear. Meanwhile we have a 
critique from Lord Williams of Oystermouth, aka The Rt Revd and Rt Hon 
Rowan Williams.
