Back up and running
and down for maintenance.
It crashed as i was half way through signing. Remember when people were turned away from voting in the referendum??
Who does Chukka represent?
1) a small group of MPs in a parliament where no party has an overall majority
2) his constituency (I have family there, who voted for him DESPITE standing for Labour, not because, doubt they are the only ones)
Up again now.. 100k signatures in the last hour, I imagine there's a load of spectators hitting F5 too.
... And it's down again!
… And it’s down again!
Is complete mystery

Looks like my uncle...
Its down for me too.

Made a quick note not to upset you. Prefer to dodge various poisons in my coffee.
Pardon my ignorance here, but isn't there an Alastair Campbell/ Malcolm Tucker behind the scenes in the tory party keeping May in line or has she gone completely rogue of her own accord?
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584up and running again, at this rate it will hit 1 million easily before today is over.
Not really boardingbob. Gone completely rogue
Was up, back down for maintenance...
Pointless anyway May knows exactly what people want, I mean she has gone out of her way to meet loads of them.
Saw someone complaining on twitter about how ridiculous it was that a good chunk of the population was against the referendum result now. Apparently the will of the people can't be changed, even if the people will it.
It's back.
The UK?
1 million signatures by lunchtime?
May knows exactly what people want, I mean she has gone out of her way to meet loads of them.
Here she is, meeting people. Oh ... hang on a mo ...
Loads of newspaper websites now reporting on this petition, long may it continue to rapidly increase and hopefully blow Maybot's and other MPs' minds!
This could be the point where it all starts unravelling
May's speech last night was flabbergasting, and poured petrol on the flames of an already raging inferno. It's bad enough that there is no deal agreed 8 days before the leave date, but for May to go to war against the commons is astonishing. I had hopes that a deal would emerge as a result of the commons majority as that was the common sense logical, and necessary, conclusion. May has made that almost impossible now with her Donald Trump impression.
What next? Barricades in the street? General strike? Miltary coup? Civil War?
696,204 signatures now and rising.
Nigel Farage retweeted this earlier, maybe he's just giving up now...

She's going full retard.
696k signatures now.
I've just reread the first few pages of this thread for giggles.
I think I can safely say we are better informed now, but what a cost.
Someday in the far future the start and end of this thread could be the basis of a fairytale for children where the moral is "be careful what you wish for".
What does that sign say, Peston Pong?
If "another referendum" was removed, I'd bet that 14% would stick on "revoke A50".
Can we vote on farages thing?
The whole thing reminds me of Lou and Andy.
"I want a snake"
"you can't have a snake"
...later...
"I don't want it"

Can we vote on farages thing?
its closed, only ran for an hour
after the show he sent it out to his followers and it was at 55% No deal, but a concerted fbpe effort saw it swing the other way, I was tweeting it to people as they signed the revoke A50 petition & posted on twitter
I dunno, I almost feel sorry for her.
I might be inclined to that, if the shit she finds herself and the UK in, were not entirely of her own making.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, luv.

There's a twitter bot to follow tweeting the petition (there's suggestion that folk watching the numbers go up are helping to crash the site).

So what is she up to? The assumption is that May hopes the public will pile pressure on their local MPs over the next few days to back her deal next week. But could there be another reason the PM wants to curry favour with the voters? “Here’s a thought, silly really, but maybe worth noting, for all those people wondering why May chose to appeal to the public and blame MPs tonight,” the Indy’s Political Editor Joe Watts tweeted late last night. “Wednesday next is the last day she can dissolve parliament if she wants a general election to take place on May 2, with the locals.” She wouldn’t … would she?
I might be inclined to that, if the shit she finds herself and the UK in, were not entirely of her own making.
Remind me, who was it that triggered Article 50, with no ****ing clue what to do afterwards?
711,000 now and going up about 300 every time it auto-refreshes. Jeez.
... 713,000 in the time it took me to write this.
the petition site crashing has given it a far higher exposure! tin foil hat time 😉
I dunno, I almost feel sorry for her.
I wouldn’t want her job that’s for sure. She’s probably deluded if she doesn’t know she was put in place to take all the blows for this shitstorm for a couple of years and then be sacrificed for a more electable leader.
Can you imagine the state she’d be in with an opposition to deal with too?!
I'm starting a petition against this petition. I'm now hopelessly hooked on looking at it and hitting refresh - it's worse than a fixed odds gambling machine!
I wonder if Maybot will simply ignore the petition, the rules mean I has to run till August before the commons have to debate it.
Signed about 10 mins ago but I haven't received the confirmation email. Does that mean I count in the stats or not?
Check your spam, that's where my email went.
