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

Please do still go to the March, Underthesea. Most of our lives will be smaller and less, whatever our circumstances, if we leave. Most of us were ignorant of the EU and in no position to make an informed choice, it was never fair to expect us to, but we all know a fair bit more now and it will clearly be madness for most but the very privileged, who have positioned themselves to do very well indeed out of it financially.
Please march.

Nope. A lot of clever people voted leave for all sorts of reasons.
Sorry - I've apologised, I really didn't intend to imply what was inferred, my fault entirely.

I voted remain and I've never earnt anything above minimum wage my entire life. I left school at 16.
I'm neither wealthy nor elite. Neither are the majority of my friends who voted remain.
My husband has a higher level of education than me but hes from a council estate and the son of a single teenage mum... and hes an ardent remainer....
So just piss off with all that nonesense!

It'll affect you when zero benefits are given.

30 million voted in the referendum. Over half of them voted to leave. Democracy people!

'Has it ever occurred to you that there's a REASON why wealthy white men want you to vote Leave? Like: the deregulation of capitalism, a decrease in workers' rights? Turkey, meet Christmas.'

Absolutely spot on.
It's disgusting the way these men have held themselves up as saviours of the common man, as 'enacting the will of the people'
All they want to do is pay less tax and be able to exploit workers and get rid of regulations in order to turn more profit. They are literally the enemy of the ordinary man.

Undertheseainabot "Where does that leave parliament, then? Are they all thick?' Well, a moot point , but.. no. There are rather a few MPs who are very cleverly manipulating this to their financial advantage. And others who have got caught out by their 'cunning' manouevering, overlooking the law of unintended consequences.

To be honest, from the day of the referendum onwards, this was only ever going to go this way. The EU made it crystal clear they weren't going to give us a better deal than their remaining members. Leavers crowed about how the EU was going to fall apart due to our departure, but I can't see any chinks in it yet, can you?

I don't think May has made a hash of it, as such. She is just surrounded by people who actually don't understand Europe, the EU or how it works. There are MPs who voted for A50 who now actually confess they didn't read it. Which does make them sound a bit thick, yes.

Fair do's Eccles.

I saw the petition tip over the million mark, while watching May grinning maniacally in Brussels.

Underthesea: Of course it will: do you use the health service? If you don’t now, you will one day. People relying on food banks will be hit incredibly hard: when the economy shrinks, as it will, people will stop giving, of course they will. If you’re incredibly uncertain about your own family’s future why would you give to help strangers?

Sign &share people!
Also, let your MP know your opinion. Leave-voters, especially those ultra-brexiteers are very noisy (and in social media they have benefit of Russian bots... 🙄) www.bbc.com/news/technology-47538021

Yeah the leave campaign was so democratic wasn't it

If the less well off voted Leave it is like turkeys voting for Christmas. Who the heck would benefit from all the resulting economic disruption and depression apart from the elites who have hedged against it, have international interests and have money stashed in the Cayman Isles?

People on benefits won't feel much of a hit.

I would have thought food price inflation and possible medical shortages would be an adverse effect and everyone who isn't super rich - especailly people on benefits.

If people stop donating to food banks because they can no longer afford it - that's another hit as well.

"People on benefits won't feel much of a hit. We're quite accustomed to having nothing."

Sigh.

Cuts are not all about income. They systematically run down places, too. You might not notice a big fall in your benefits, but you will notice when crime goes up further, when schools close on Friday afternoons because they don't have funding, when you wait for 8 hours in A&E to be told you can't have the best treatment because it's too expensive, when streets and public spaces aren't fixed when they break etc. etc. etc. Don't kid yourself that you have nothing more for them to take - you have enough and they will come for it.

Still, blue passports, that's the important thing.

Sorry, that should have read "you have enough THAT they will come for it". I don't actually think people on benefits have enough to live on.

I'm an 'economically inactive' mum to a child being assessed for ASD, thr daughter of an NHS nurse, and the sister of a lovely man with multiple health conditions who is never going to be able to work. I've been other things as well, but right now, to this government, I am truly nothing. They would happily watch my brother die for lack of medication; my mum burn out to nothing due to cut after cut after cut to the health service; and my son wither and struggle due to a lack of support. I'm not an 'elite'. I'm just someone who doesn't want to fly off the edge of a cliff.

These past few years have felt like being locked into a bus being driven at a sheer drop by a lunatic. We may not stop the lunatic, but at least we can scream STOP.

Undertheseainabot You really think crashing out of the EU without a deal won't affect those on benefits?

Wow. Just- wow. You must live a very comfortable life if you can't imagine just how bad things could get.

Look at Syria. Venezuela. Countries which were westernised, modern, forward looking, with functioning public services, electricity, water, sanitation, health care, reasonably reliable power supplies, some sort of democracy.

Look at them now. I guess your average Venezuelan or Syrian is also rather surprised at how bad things can get.

There's nothing magic about us, despite what Brexiter Propaganda would have you believe.

Ugh, it's gone again .

The site seems to have crashed again. Hmph. Here's the bbc with a photo of it going over the million mark

All marching and petitions do is show gov you aren't happy.
It makes no difference to what the politicians do, they don't represent us you know, just their own little elite.
Waste time marching and petitioning it makes no difference.
