I wonder if Maybot will simply ignore the petition
Well she's spent the last 3 years ignoring everything other than what the DUP and the ERG have been telling her, so I doubt she's about to start listening to anyone else at this point
Signed about 10 mins ago but I haven’t received the confirmation email. Does that mean I count in the stats or not?
No, you need to click the link in the email.
Has this been psoted yet:
No deal is not the legal default
Not sure how valid it is, but it's interesting.
Can't get on that bloody petition to see how many have signed

Mines took about 15 mins - can't confirm as down again - about 780k when I last looked
I wouldn'tget too excited about the petition.There's already been one about a "2nd Ref with 4 million+ signatures and one with half a milion+ for banning former ISIS members from returning to the UK and don'tforget the Donald Trump visit one.Also large numbers of signatures are found to be fake.
The Guardian are reporting that MP's are being advised not to travel by foot to and from Parliament in case they are attacked
So thats where this nonsense has got us. I never thought I'd see the day where a British Prime Minister called a press conference to directly incite some kind of mob rule, stir up a toxic form of nationalism and basically undermine democracy
If there is another Jo Cox situation then it will be entirely on her!
Email finally received
Yeah got mine email too. I'm sure its a waste of time, but if nothing else at least I feel I've done some small thing to reassert my feelings.

I thought exactly the same last night. It may sound sensationalist but the atmosphere in the country is more toxic now than during the ref campaign. How dare that woman behave as she does. I'm now beginning to think a much loved member of the royal family has been kidnapped...
Revoke A50 petition now at 779k
“Down for maintenance”
Somebody has had a word
Why all the excitement about this petition? Have you forgotten that 3 million people marched against the Iraq war and were ignored?
Just indicative, innit.
Why all the excitement about this petition?
Any glimmer of hope I think. Especially when the maybot is trying to incite violence.
Looking at it in the context of a reaction to May's speech, it's important. She claimed last night to understand the mood of the public. There were 10's of thousands of signatures before she spoke. There'll be a million within 24 hours. The Maybot fails to understand anything 'human'
The petition crashing is now the most read story on the BBC website. Cue lots of angry brexiters claiming the BBC is an EU stooge...

its nice to feel like you can do something, anything, when your country is being run off a cliff to appease some hard-right idiots who happen to be MPs off the back of a 3 year old referendum thats bitterly divided the nation
And up to 813k in the time it took for the confirmation email to arrive.

Fascinating piece of legal analysis, good find.
Quite remarkable that 4% of some constituencies have signed that petition already

Wonder if the 'MPs must carry out the will of the people' mob will pay any attention to Bercows 'MPs sole duty is to do what they think is right'?
Why all the excitement about this petition?
Well I'm sure Maybot will be "reminded" of it by some European or other today.
Can't the queen step in ? Seriously !

Great idea. We've already got a war of words between the executive and the legislature, I'm sure the crown getting involved will make it much simpler. What they hell would she do anyway? Send in the horseguards?

I posted it yesterday.
It's an interesting opinion.
Mate at work just pointed out that TM looks like Cyril Sneer from The Raccoons!
SNP lady on Daily Politics suggested that Parliament can revoke A50 not the PM - it was her that took the case to ECJ last year.
According to the Times reporter on Politics Live "if ... next week ... "Revoke or No Deal" ... things will become tasty"
😀
signed, it's climbing at about 100k/hr at the moment!
Surely now is the time for Labour to hand in a no confidence motion ?? last night to use the words 'against the public' to describe sitting MPs...
Can’t the queen step in ? Seriously !
It would be fascinating if she did, because I'd bet that most gammon leavers are also royalists.

This would be a massive bombshell.
Theresa May’s Downing Street speech last night may have seemed baffling to those watching at home but there may be a clue as to its purpose in how the government social media machine has used the footage.
Soon after she finished talking in Downing Street, the official UK government Facebook page began paying to promote a clip of her speaking under the banner “Brexit: Let’s Get On With It”.
The adverts, funded using public money, began running on Facebook last night and have already been seen at least two million times, according to the social network’s new advertising disclosure rules.
These views do not necessarily mean than a Facebook user bothered to watch any of the video - but they do mean that they saw a video in their newsfeed of Theresa May talking alongside the quote “You want this stage of the Brexit process to be over and done with. I agree. I am on your side.”
Although the sums involved are not enormous – up to £10,000 has been spent promoting the video since last night – it is another example of how Facebook ads are being used to put pressure on MPs to back Brexit by directly targeting voters. One mysterious group campaigning for a hard Brexit, which has never revealed its financial backers, has spent almost £500,000 on targeted Facebook ads since last October.
Pariament can revoke - its obvious. All they need to do is pass a binding motion saying the will of the parliament is to revoke. Same as Parliament forced may into asking for an extension.
This would be a massive bombshell.
All.of this just strengthens the case for voting down her deal. I expect the last ammendment on the list to be the killer one in that respect.
Same as Parliament forced may into asking for an extension.
Did they? Or did May ask for a delay, which they tried to put some controls on, which she has chosen to use in a way that might force MPs into backing her deal or leave with no deal? The delay became essential when she moved votes on the Withdrawal Agreement into 2019… it needed passing before Christmas to be ratified and implemented by the end of next week.
The .Gov Petitions page crashed earlier today as >800,000 people dived in to the “Revoke Article 50” petition ...

Not if she knew and I doubt she doesn't
Maybe
She thought no one else would twig
will of who exactly?
...real time comparison of the revoke A50 vs leave with no deal petitions. Just a bit of fun:
