Gina Miller anti-Brexit campaign raises £250k so far

[Pariswhenitdrizzles]

Maybe I am being a bit unreasonable (I expect lots of MN 'biscuits' to come my way on this thread ), but just wanted to put this here anyway.

Gina Miller, who started the court case against the British government over Brexit, has started an online Go Fund Me campaign to support MPs who oppose hard Brexit.

It has been fairly well publicised (I'm sorry if there already another thread on this! ), but she's raised £250,000 so far (as of 22nd April) and I just wanted to link to it here in case you'd be interested in finding out more.

Thank you everyone :)

*if there is

Anyone? :)

I like her, she's got guts.

Yes me too Clopy.

Me too :) wish her all the best.

(Also Ivanka I love your username! )

Thanks Paris
That's my second compliment on it today

MPs are supported by votes and campaigns. The former is free and the latter need not cost £250k in the internet age.

Votes are not identified as tactical. Your vote is listed as supporting that candidate.

Don't protest, don't march, get off your arse and vote!

Gina Miller oh that over privileged self righteous fuckwit here have a biccie op

I'm quite glad she's self righteous, she made sure the government was forced to follow the law. Grand stuff.

I would donate a future £250k to shut her up

Thanks for the link

Oh God not her again, using other people money to fund her own ego. When will she realize that we are leaving the EU and nothing she does is going to stop us.

I have issues with go-beg-me pages - all of them. It's about time online begging was made illegal.

"and I just wanted to link to it here in case you'd be interested in donating your cold hard cash finding out more."

What's the money going to be used for, exactly? "Supporting" MP's? With what?

As I understand, it's to campaign to allow people to vote on the actual brexit package as opposed to the original Leave manifesto now been debunked (Turkey), withdrawn (red bus BS) or confessed to as being totally false by the government (the "we always had full parliamentary sovereignty" white paper reference).

Of course, it's astonishing that we live is a so-called civilized nation where the Leave campaign has admitted it only won because so many people bought their lies, and the volume of CPS investigations into MPs for corruption raises serious doubt as to whether the party which authorized the referendum should have even been in power in the first place.

I think that whatever the political persuasion, at least that we can all agree it would be deeply neglectful to pass constitutional change depriving this country' children of their current freedoms without performing basic due diligence regarding this decision.

I think it would be deeply neglectful to ignore a majority decision guaranteeing freedom for our beloved children from an unwanted wasteful supranational level of government just to further line the pockets of already rich people.

It's a shame when the only opposition to the idiocy that is brexit comes from outside parliament. But there it is. I will be donating op, thanks.

You both make really good points Flogging and Rebel.

To be quite honest, I didn't find the explanations very clear about what the money raised from the campaign will be used for. Is it going to support MPs who are in favour of a 'soft' Brexit or rejoining the EU? Or (as Rebel mentions) will it be used for campaigning to give everyone in Britain a say on the terms of a finalised Brexit deal?

We have donated. Thanks OP.

Infinite I wouldn't say that the 'supranational level of government' is 'unwanted'.

By some people, yes, of course it is unwanted. But other people clearly want Britain to be a part of the EU.

Thanks Karlos and Miltop :)

A majority don't though that why we held a Referendum. I find it very frightening that you hold democracy so cheaply. Exactly what form of government would you prefer? Take the vote away from anyone who disagrees with you? Perhaps a dictatorship? Or a monarchy? You should be ashamed to place your dc's future in such peril.
