Off Topic Politics Thread

The barefaced hypocrisy when May says that they need to concentrate more on things such as the NHS and education, when her government has done more to undermine both than any previous government.

"PetitionRevoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.
The government repeatedly claims exiting the EU is 'the will of the people'. We need to put a stop to this claim by proving the strength of public support now, for remaining in the EU. A People's Vote may not happen - so vote now.

Link seems to be broken Jab.

 

In fact the whole Petition Parliament site seems to have been taken down.

Bastards.

 

Yes it does, I'm checking, I found it on a facebook page went back and got a "bad gateway" previously when looking at the number of signatures it came up with
"website down for maintenance". Maybe overloaded could be dark forces at work.
I did sign and got this in my inbox which worked. Ah try this https://petition.parliament.uk/peti...gM_T8TVWr5OMtNmXhEjXAm2C-D1dxx6T00f2blVGE1d6Q

640.000+

 

Just added me. 640,000 plus now

 

Think people are launching an accidental denial of service attack. Which says rather a lot, really.

 

It’s obviously the Will of the People...

 

Site crashed because of the volume of traffic. Getting close to 700,000 now.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if more than 17.4 million signed it?

 

Petition seems to be attracting over 2,000 signatures PER MINUTE at the moment, which is quite remarkable.

 

That would be incredible. They’d have to listen then.

I fear that no deal is the only likely outcome with May in charge at this point. Very interesting times in the next week.

I’m almost intrigued to see if no deal will be as catastrophic as some predict at this point.

 

Just passed 800,000 signatures, that’s 100,000 in just over 90 minutes.

 

Waiting for my confirmation email.

 

850,000. 50,000 in 42 minutes.

 

same here

 

Be patient, the poor government IT bloke is having to send out over 200 emails every 10 seconds at the moment!

 

900,000. Consistent at 50,000 in 41 minutes.

 

Waiting for confirmation e mail as is my wife.
