Apologies if this has already been linked, but just in case it hasn't, there is a petition to Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU if anyone is interested. Currently on 52k.

1,123,282!

I reckon easily 2 mil before midnight if it stops crashing.

ADarkandStormyKnight · 21/03/2019 17:49

Lots of 'influencers' tweeting it on.

ThunderStorms · 21/03/2019 17:51

Is there any way of checking you have actually voted? I’m worried it’s not worked with all the link / site being down stuff. Not sure how to check. I don’t want to inadvertently inflate numbers by trying to vote again if my vote has already counted.

If you sign, don't forget to look for the email and click the link to validate. Otherwise your response won't be valid!!

The verification e-mails are taking hours to come through apparently. I’ve been waiting about 5 hours for mine currently.

I expect if you add the current amount of signatures to those who have signed but are waiting for the e-mail before their vote is added, you will have over 2m already.

Someone has worked it out as a lag of around 120,000

Everyone needs to check their spam box. Lots of reports of people finding the confirmation e-mail there.

You can check the numbers here:

Still not received my email 2 hours later!

StealthPolarBear · 21/03/2019 19:24

Are you sure it's not in spam? Apols if this is obvious

ADarkandStormyKnight · 21/03/2019 19:25

It's down again.

Vagndidit · 21/03/2019 19:26

I've received the email (several hours later) but the link now sends me to the 502 bad gateway page.

NorthernRunner · 21/03/2019 19:35

vagndidit give it 20mins and try again- that’s what I had to do!

PlumCakeChica · 21/03/2019 19:38

I signed last night but the email was in my junk box.

AlphaSigma · 21/03/2019 19:40

Bugger, bad gateway.

BelleSausage · 21/03/2019 19:41

Everyone is now home from work and I suspect there are hundreds of thousands trying to sign at the same time.

Frenchfancy · 21/03/2019 19:42

Waiting for my email

scissy · 21/03/2019 19:50

My email took 4 hours to come through this afternoon, so I'm not surprised if others haven't received theirs yet who did the same.

Fresta · 21/03/2019 19:52

My email was in junk so definitely check it

sammatanga · 21/03/2019 19:55

Bad gateway...

BelleSausage · 21/03/2019 20:05

It’s back!

dirtystinkyrats · 21/03/2019 20:18

Its working again so I finally managed to confirm my email address.

RunSweatLaughAndLatte · 21/03/2019 22:47

Confirmed my email, nearly 2 million votes!!

SquirrelShit · 21/03/2019 22:54

Two million!
