Citizens of the United Kingdom have hit the streets in cities, towns and villages across the country to express their outrage at the actions of Boris Johnson – and the Queen.
There was even a demonstration in This Writer’s Mid Wales home town against the decision to shut down Parliament so that our unelected prime minister – who has not proved he can command a majority in Parliament – can enact a flagship policy that has been rejected by our democratically-elected legislature many times.
Here’s a smattering of videos and images from across the country, courtesy of Twitter. They speak for themselves:

I thank everyone who has taken to the streets here in Glasgow and across the whole country to oppose Boris Johnson's smash and grab raid on our democracy.
We'll do everything possible to stop a disastrous No Deal for which this Tory government has no mandate. #DefendOurDemocracy pic.twitter.com/5tgRT4EjHw

People are marching on Buckingham Palace after Boris Johnson massively overplayed his hand by lying to the Queen to get her to shut down democracy.

Finally, if you don’t like a certain swear word beginning with ‘F’, don’t play the following video…
… But if you don’t mind it, this is brilliant:
