[SoloD]

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

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

Please sign for all our futures sake

I strongly agree, MrPan.

It's not a referendum or an official vote.

It doesn't need to pass 17 million, despite Leadsom's comments.

There does need to be some sort of auditing, to weed out as much of any bot attacks as possible. But as long as the percentage of bot signatures ends up small, the exact number doesn't matter because it's not an official vote. It's doing it's job of reminding the leadership that we're not all baying for WA/No Deal.

'That half a million in 10 hours, so not exactly shabby given it was overnight!'

Even more so given it was overnight and intermittently not working properly.

hmmmm

Russia wants us to leave so that they can use a deregulated UK as their big laundromat

they do anyway!!

It will jump this morning as everyone gets their emails and confirms. I'd be interested in knowing how many pending confirmations there are.

This whole process is frustrating. Remain knew what we were voting for in the referendum - there was no ambiguity. Leave seems to have meant vastly different things to different people - hence this circus. And since the referendum, the voices and wishes of the remainders has been totally ignored. Talk about how to disenfranchise people.

Well, if Brexit means Brexit, I say it ain't over 'til it's over.

Keep signing...

BBC and Nigel fucking Farage. Francois, IDS, Loathsome all getting a nice slice of air time, spouting rubbish utterly unchallenged. . Little/no response from any Remainers. The BBC is screwed as a news agency. Stick to Downton and Dr Who.

Not even that: Downtown is ITV!

*Downton

Ha!!
Okay, stick to Dr Who...and The Thick of It.......oh wait!

So what you are saying is that you have no evidence of hacking, you can not cite a any reliable source which suggests the site has been hacked and you have basically just made up all your comments about hacking.

I am not missed something?

I have no doubt there will be some "hacking" - because it's in the interests of those who want to spread chaos and distrust to, well, spread chaos and distrust. Like, durrr.

But this should not dissuade real people who feel concern about the Brexit shitshow from signing this petition - quite the reverse, if we can't reduce the noise, we have to increase the signal!

You know, the amount of effort some leavers are putting into trying to discredit the petition, you'd think they were worried about it for some reason!

I've no idea what their problem is; they won, Maybot is determined to leave no matter what remainers do. Baffling.

I agree. They voted to leave and they won. I voted remain but I was content to concede that the leavers had more votes. Ever since the results were announced any leavers I've met has still been unhappy. It does rather strike me as acting like a spoilt toddler.

The toddler may have gotten what they asked for but they are still stamping their feet and throwing a tantrum, they are never going to be content. I just wish they would decide what it is they bloody want.

^ THIS!

I heard Nigel this morning. He has a new Brexit party and 20 million supporters . I am sure they will all join him on his march, that he isn't doing, soon.

Voted yesterday; up to 2,000,000 now.

2.7 million

I have absolutely no problem with people marching or the petition.

What I am nagging trouble reconciling though is that the very same people that have been up in arms about SM and it creating division, spreading falsehoods, its the devil, something needs to be done, blah blah blah are more than happy to sing its praises and to share across all and any SM platform they possibly can when it’s to their advantage. It’s a common theme on these type of threads - hypocritical, nah!!.

DH went to a constituency Labour party meeting last night (don't hate him...he's nice really) and the MP was asked if it was worth signing the petition. Our MP is a big voice in the People's Vote campaign, rebelled against the Labour whip for a second referendum last week etc etc. He did say he wasn't sure what notice would be taken, and the response/ debate would likely be the same old, same old - but basically, anything to show the strength of feeling is a good thing, alongside the march at the weekend etc.

He also said that he gets an email anytime anyone in the constituency signs it (about 5,000 so far) - so that is doing his inbox no end of good...

Interestingly the MP is also very relaxed that some deal will end up being agreed so we won't do the crashing out thing next Friday - though they may well end up sitting all night on Thursday! Which DH thought was surprising given the media seems to be pushing the fact that no deal is still a reasonable possibility - but I suppose he knows how Westminster works and sees how there will eventually be some compromise/ fluff with tactical abstentions and so on to get something through.

He was saying the vast majority wanted to leave.
No chance, that's why they don't want another vote.

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone - The whole Brexit cult is built on a sense of victimhood. They've spent years being told that they're the silenced majority, that they're persecuted and denied a voice, that foreigners have more rights than them in their own country, that the plucky little UK is a bullied victim in the EU, etc etc. If they have to admit that, actually, the government has bent over to backwards to bring about Brexit even though it's a crap idea, that everyone who voted Remain was effectively told to fuck off the day after the vote, and that the EU has been pretty damn patient and reasonable... well, their whole sense of identity would go "poof" .

having not nagging

Signed.

@time4chocolate

I have no problem with real UK citizens sharing their views on SM, but during the referendum there was much paid for political adverts, and paid for SM posts from sources outside of the UK or using illegal foreign funds. This is what the leave campaigns have been fined hundreds of thousands of pounds and are under 11 criminal investigations.

A full half of the leave money came from a foreign source, exactly where has still not been disclosed.

Loving the total votes updates.

Sounds about right. Like I said they act like toddlers it's all very me, me, me. Admitting that their idea was not the right idea is too difficult, so instead they throw a temper tantrum to detract from the issue at hand and hope you all forget about it as you are too distracted by the foot stamping and wailing. On second thoughts some toddlers are easier to have a reasonable discussion with.

The social media thing is very simple.

Real people with a genuine stake in the issue using social media to campaign, share information and promote petitions = fine. Democracy in action, even.

Co-ordinated efforts to spread misinformation on social media = not good. Yes, all you relatively new Twitter users with stock photos of hot women posting "oh my God, I just read the lisbon treaty and we lose all our rights in 2020. why is no-one talking about this" , I'm looking at you here.
