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

gottagetup you'd think they'd include NI on the map given our new found significance in this whole shit storm!!

@Illeatmyhat I would be very surprised if there is not software to stop that happening, certainly there is the software available and the postcode check and email validation works to stop bots.

And who would be behind a bot army any way. Unlike Leave, remain has no Russian sponsors.

Sorry wannabe I’d selected England to zoom in on my constituency, didn’t realise the link would do the same.

This should be the whole of the UK.

Sorry ignore me - NI is on the map, but when zoomed in it appears to be just to the right of Liverpool!!

There's a link on the petition site which allows you to see the result on a UK wide map including NI

I'm glad to see that my constituency has one of the highest rates for signing it.

Not far off 690k now

692,163 now

It’s 1000 every 10 seconds now...

I think a great start for the #putittothepeople march.

Huge thank you for all those going and supporting the march.

Signed, now 693+

@solod There’s a bunch of guys in a hacking discord sharing results from their botting. They’re seeing who can get the most votes. It’s why it keeps crashing. They’re doing it for the ‘lulz’ and aren’t even in the UK. it’s ridiculously easy to game an online petition.

It's a long way to 18 million, but signed!

Just 4k off 700k now.

I've signed 🤞

Done.

I signed last night when it was only 105,000. Love seeing how much support it's getting. Those of you struggling, please keep checking back to try and sign.

Now BBC reporting that site down due to high traffic!

Russia sponsors disruption and turns up the gas on divisive issues of any kind. The whole Brexit shitshow is jam for them. Russia's also not the only player in town.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was bot interference in the petition.

I'm not saying don't sign it. I'm just saying don't invest too much in the numbers being real.

@AlaskaSometimes

Yes you can game it, I mean you have to set up software to create a new email address for each time you sign it, not impossible but the free emails providers tend to not like that and close you down.

Also it is easy to spot, I mean you can use a VPN to another server but how many servers can you control? Even if you have 100's (which would take a lot of resources) then each IP will be sening 1000's of requests to the website which is very easy to spot and to block.

But happy to see where they people hang out if you care to share? Unless of course you are making that bit up?

I think they are real.

Every online facebook and twitter site I go on has a link to the petition and real people are furious. It is on national news now.

@AlaskaSometimes

Yes, the petition is being abused by botting and therefore meaningless.

They don't need bots - 3.7 million EU citizens resident in the UK can sign the petition - who may not be eligible to vote in a second referendum.

The genuine petition is growing faster than the anti Trump visit one. It's authentic growth pattern is in Remain areas.

Sign it anyway- there's nothing to lose. Even if there were some interference it's the overall numbers that count.

Any Russian gov interference is very unlikely as they want us to leave the trading bloc.

@PerkingFaintly

So what you are saying is that you have no evidence, or proof of interference? I am understanding that right?

The fact that hundreds of thousands care enough to go to London to protest again Brexit suggests to me that 700k signing an online petition could well be real.
