Took over 12 hours till I got my confirmation email. So if you've not had yours yet don't despair.
"Looking at how Brexit is reported abroad is eye-opening for how others see us now - a mixture of contempt and pity." And utter bewilderment at the whole farce.
Disclaimer - I'm no mathematician
But I THINK it would take 7-8 days? In brexit terms "cutting it fucking fine!"
Mathematicians?
Wondering if question time & last leg will be discussing petition, hope so.
But more to the point when will it be discussed in parliament? Is it already being?
"Is everyone sharing on social media as well?" I only do FB and Twitter I've shared there, several friends already shared and urging people to sign. Interesting lack of reaction from those I know to be leavers.
"Get it to fucking 19 million!" That would be brilliant! And show it's NOT the will of the people of course, or certainly not now!
"Everyone knows Remain was voted for by the elite and well off." Rubbish! I'm disabled & on benefits and voted remain and I live in a deprived area that voted remain too!
"Where does that leave parliament then? Are they all thick?" They've hardly displayed much sense on the matter "not understanding" the issues with Calais - Dover and the Irish border! And those that have shown sense are extremely well off to the point they're able to MAKE a LOT of money if we leave by immoral disaster capitalism bollocks!
"I cannot imagine for one second how you think crashing out of the EU will improve your life, on benefits" absolutely this! The EU provide a buffer against the tories making even worse, more punitive "austerity" deliberate impoverishment policies which will most affect those of us worst off. The well off have the money to manage whatever happens.
"People on benefits won't feel much of a hit." Seriously?! It's not just reduced income it's increased bills! Predicted MINIMUM 20% increased food prices alone! If you're really on benefits I'm shocked you're not concerned about this. I bloody am!
"They are literally the enemy of the ordinary man." Exactly!!
"Lol, and what happens when a million people on benefits which are revoked start looting?" They tried to avoid invoking anger in the less well off by telling them they'd be better off and assuming they'd buy it, because actually they assumed the less well off were the thick ones! Which of course is ridiculous! Poverty isn't about being academically unable it's down to luck!
Civil unrest doesn't even come out of anger - it comes from fear! People scared they can't medicate or feed their loved ones or themselves are FAR more likely to riot than well off people who simply lost a slim opportunity to make even more money!
As for the shockingly blatant and unnecessary racist posts! HOW so many have been left standing when a few have been deleted (so clearly Mnhq have had a look) there are no words. Just utterly ridiculous bigotry.
Lulujakey - all you are unhappy about is directly down to this tory govt, genuine question why do you think leaving the eu will improve things given there would be FEWER restrictions on what this govt will do to the less favoured parts of the country?
