I’m on international, maybe that’s the difference? It was the show with the really big iPad-like board cutting to the reporter in Brussels.
Anyway, it’s short on strong sources, but here is the article:
-
The online petition just requires a unique email address and the user to input a uk postal code
There’ll be loads of fake votes and they’ve had trouble with bots before
Let me get this straight a few million 'people' have 'signed' a 'petition' to tell the govt to ignore the actual votes of close to 20 million real people?
-
Financial Times and BBC reporting she’ll go no deal if her shit-sandwich isn’t accepted.
Good - The EU should have been aware that was always the fall back position.
Then there's the imbeciles that want the will of the people recognised as a measure of democracy. As long as it involves ignoring the referendum they had.

Yes
It's an official UK Gov site. 100k is enough to get the petition considered for debate in Parliament
It's getting more media attention than it should

Amongst many, I personally think her biggest mistake was not saying about a month ago that it was her deal or no deal. If she is that wedded to it, she should have said so.
I imagine that Labor and others (i.e., the DUP) would have come around to her plan in such a case too. It's not like she had saved herself any more leverage anyway.

It's a ludicrous example of pandering to the fringes.

Well the few remainer friends that haven't yet disowned me for my Brexit ideals are feverishly spreading this around right now.
Just awaiting the first politician to remark 'Its clear the will of the people has changed'. Imagine jailing TR and cancelling Brexit in the same month..that'd go well.

This has NOTHING to do with TR. Can we keep that separate please.

EU don't want a no-deal. I'll be extremely concerned if this revoke art 50 gains momentum.
It won't happen. It may cause a debate in the commons, but there is no way it will be revoked. May has been extremely clear about that, and no other politician will be prepared to do it either.

Out of interest, are your remainer friends UK based? And are they, like me, and I suspect unlike you, potentially facing issues around their circumstances in the event of a poorly run Brexit?

I hope you are right here, there is a lot of anger out there and if events go a particular way I'd be very concerned about violence spilling out.

They are Uk based, childless, working primarily in government jobs, they are also the same folk calling all brexiteers racists & stupid. I don't have a lot of sympathy for them but I do for people like yourself who can discuss the issues and can see that there is at least some merit to the brexiteer argument and understand that simply cancelling brexit is not a realistic option.
-
@Rembrandt No need for sympathy. A disorderly Brexit will make things harder for sure, but it won't make things catastrophic. Thats not the case for all.
I'm happy to come on here and debate, as I'm actually interested in the views of people who it won't affect, as well as those that it will. Obviously makes the objective thinking somewhat easier.
I can understand, however, why people may be getting pissed off reading views of borderline excitement about a no-deal Brexit from people who it won't really affect, when they are regularly not only reading in the media about the fallout, but also receiving mails from the top brass at work about what they are actively doing which does reduce their job security.
