Revoke A50 petition fastest growing of all time....

[SoloD]

... and just become the biggest on the gov.uk website

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

When I signed yesterday it had 25k, nearly 600k now.

Please sign for all our futures sake

Hey people the petition is showing as down for maintenance - can others please check and report back in?

Managed to sign despite site repeatedly claiming “maintenance”. Smell a big, fat rat

What should a well-built petition be capable of coping with, though? Surely, most petitions don't have to cope with anything like this demand? “

You may be right: it’s crashed again now. A properly resourced outfit like gov petitions ought be able to cope with huge volume.

What a joke this close to Brexit - they don't want the numbers to climb.

A maintenance issue this close to Brexit

Anyone know what the out with no deal petition is doing? Interested to see how close they are now the revoke one is getting such a huge response.

Just keep refreshing, it goes down periodically but just for seconds. I think it's the volume of people using it.

This is outrageous.

I'm still at the 'waiting for confirmation email' stage and nothing's come through for a good ten/fifteen minutes. I'll keep checking, but yeah, as conspiracy theories go I wouldn't be surprised if it's been taken down. Hoping it's just website traffic.

The no deal one is also down, I think it's simply overload on the government site.

It will be getting attacked by a zillion russian bots now.

If you've not signed it, keep trying, if you have, don't clog it up, use an alternative site to watch it.

Nearly 372,000: expires in a month, so presumably been running for 4 months. Already dealt with in Parliament.

No deal one has 27k signatures.

“Bluntness100

No deal one has 27k signatures.”

Is this a second one?

I've signed. It took a while. I had to wait around 20 minutes for the email and then had to refresh for about five minutes after finally getting the email.

It was on 829,272 when it finally let me sign.

The Hex map site I posted above from the Open Data Institute has now posted that it is only requesting updates every 5 mins, this is because the Gov website is so overloaded..

So its best for those who still want to vote , if we who have can all contain ourselves and just not look ( although Its very , very hard not to !!)

Rey convenient that it's down for maintenance 🙄

If you’re on Twitter, follow @Ultrabutt it’s a bot tweeting the total every 5 mins to stop the overload caused by people refreshing the feed mobile.twitter.com/ultrabutt/status/1108705480845770752

*very

It's back...

So the no deal is going up in response to revoke. Just hope not in equal measure.

Im not on social media much but saw something about the March of fb this morning. Couldn't believe the negative comments about it!

Rey convenient that it's down for maintenance 🙄

I wondered that as well.

signed last night but its gone up by loads last night. I really dont want us to leave.

I signed last night, but DH wanted to sign today and has not managed so far.
