And cross everything I have that anyone vaguely interested in remaining signs it? Don’t know how accurate this is but vince cable tweeted from the march earlier and said 60 per cent now in favour of remaining. No idea of the accuracy of those stats (or any, stats were wrong in June 2016) but surely remaining is better than this shit storm?

Revoke A50 has broken the record by a considerable margin for signatures on a parliamentary petition. I would argue that is meaningful. Not everyone uses the internet. Some of the Remainers have probably given up in despair.

The 'Leave with No Deal' petition only has 489,122 signatures, for context.

pishpot I fear you may be in for a disappointing few years, maybe decades!

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:08

YABU for going on about it. Change the fucking record for Christ's sake. I'm sick of hearing and reading about Brexit. I don't care which side you're on. IDGAF

I agree with Jaques

I mean i could just pop onto a feeding babies thread and say i dont care how you feed your babies...change the reacord im sick of hearing about it

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:09

I coukd go onto the doghouse and do similar

But i dont

(Cos im too scared)

ScarletBitch · 23/03/2019 20:13

Remainers just cannot accept the fact Leave won. Seriously you are undermining everything our elders fought so hard to protect. As for the petition, rigged full of fake signatures. Disgusting how people can interfere with Democracy when it suits their narrative.Angry

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:15

wanting a people's vote=THE END OF DEMOCRACY

Id ask if people know what democracy means

But i know the answer

ScarletBitch · 23/03/2019 20:16

@shitholiday2018 people were not misled ffs. Millions of us made our choice and that has not and will not change now. Just keep repeating the same old broken record in the hope it changes anything. Sick to death of my vote being cast aside because remainers are throwing their dummy out!

pishpot · 23/03/2019 20:17

But this isn't the Brexit board is it? It's AIBU.
It's bleeding out across the whole fucking site.

Do you post on all threads that could be on other boards? Or just ones you don’t want to read....?

I just hide threads I don’t want to read - job done in 5 seconds.

Smellbellina · 23/03/2019 20:25

YABU. Most of us who voted decided we wanted to Leave and if this wish isn’t carried out there will be civil disorder in the streets and I will be involved in that in any way that I can. You cannot keep voting until the outcome of the few is desired, what utter madness.
What is this pile of shite I just read?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:26

But this isn't the Brexit board is it? It's AIBU

There are loads of threads 'off board' as it were

Ive seen loads today that i havent clicked on in AIBU and chat because i dont give a shiny shit

I dont pop on and SAY i dont give a shint shit

Just dont read...i don't understand the problem

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:27

Being mean to carol?

Scarlet, could you explain the bus slogan then, 350 million per week to the NHS instead of to the EU - what was that if not misleading?

I think your dad would be more embarrassed having you as his daughter

How the fuck would you know?

Bluntness100 · 23/03/2019 20:32

They’re not going to replace her with anyone other than a brexiteer who’ll trigger it with a view to no deal.

Possibly not, as more Tory mps are remainers than leavers so it's more likely another remainer would win, and much less likely someone with extreme views like no deal would gain the premier role. And no deal really is the extreme minority view,

Clearly though it's about more than that and personality and who it is counts, but in straight stats it is unlikely the majority of Tory mps would vote for someone to be prime minister and leader iif their view was no deal, particularly as it's also not supported by rhe majority of the public.

Smellbellina · 23/03/2019 20:34

I know I know, they will no longer respect the well established principle of the queue! Shock
AND they will bagsy a cafe table BEFORE ordering and then march right to the front of the disavowed queue and demand their coffee.
It’s going to be dark times for sure.

Windowsareforcheaters · 23/03/2019 20:35

Seriously you are undermining everything our elders fought so hard to protect

@ScarletBitch

I assume you are talking about human rights, democracy, and freedom for Europe? All of which are helped by being in the EU. Or are you just repeating meaningless, jingoistic rhetoric?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 23/03/2019 20:36

ND they will bagsy a cafe table BEFORE ordering and then march right to the front of the disavowed queue and demand their coffee

Fucking hell smell youve crossed a line there Shock

Smellbellina · 23/03/2019 20:37

The EU was formed after the two world wars to try and prevent a 3rd war in Europe I thought. (If you think I am wrong I am ok with that, please don’t feel the need to correct me. It will just be boring)

Smellbellina · 23/03/2019 20:38

I know @Rufus I went to far, not sure how I’m going to sleep tonight now 🙈

I don’t think anyone is a ‘winner’ here.

I’m sick of people thinking it’s ok to run the country in to the ground and their only excuse is ‘because democracy’ as if it sounds good.

We don’t live in a democracy anyway - heard of The House of Lords??

If MPs voted to revoke A50 -wouldn’ that actually would be democratic as they were elected??

The good Friday agreement was democratically voted for (only by a massive majority) but Brexit directly contravenes it, so how does that help ‘democracy’

And can you prove they’re fake signatures??
