Stay in the EU petition

[the other bob wilson]

Why is 10 million a significant figure? Merely because it is a round number and sends the total to 8 figures?

I think it would be a symbolic figure which would start a few people panicking. Quite reasonably, Government ministers are saying for now that when the number of signatures reach 17.4 million they'll start paying attention to the petition, but this means that, morally, they are duty bound to act on it if it ever did get to that figure.

As I say, I don't see the petition getting 10 million signatures, but if I'm wrong, I could see a momentum being established which would make 17.4 million a target to be aimed at and I reckon there's a fair chance that it would be reached in that event.

Although the rate of progress has, predictably, slowed, the number of signatures this morning is now over 4 million.

Petition over 3 million now

If you read my post I never said we don't have sovereignty, I said it is peoples desire for and belief in it that will drive another leave vote. I think it is the root cause of that vote, however it is dressed up.

with regard to medicine shortage, as we are still in the EU there is no reason on earth why there should be a shortage now, unless your supplier is stockpiling it.
It has amazed me that every single "Bad news" story for the last 3 years has been blamed on the looming brexit. What did they blame everything on before? I know lots of the problems were blamed on the EU.

There is no way that all of the things blamed on brexit are in fact caused by it. And it hasn't even happened yet ffs.

“Brexit hasn’t even happened yet” shows you are very one eyed and not seeing the big picture.

Talk to the majority of small and medium business owners in the U.K. and they’re already feeling the affect, talk to the HR department at any large business and the U.K., ask the employees of Nissan, Toyota etc. Then rethink your argument.

3.15 million now. I can't see it happening, but things could get interesting if the number of signatures reaches the 10 million mark.

It won’t be long until the rate of 4chan and reddit start signing it to try and make it look like it’s all illegitimate signatures, mark my words. It won’t be many but enough to cause plausible deniability for the pro cliff edge brixteers.

The same has been said of every major petition in history

The utterly vile Julia Hartley-Brewer has started. And for the avoidance of doubt, she's not vile because she's doing this, she's just a terrible person.

Oh, this is going to be a fun afternoon. You can sign any name you want to the Revoke Article 50 petition and use the same email address repeatedly. Let the games begin! #RemoanerMcRemoanface pic.twitter.com/WMWKExiBUy

She is fantastic. Was great on Question Time the other week too. The sooner we leave the scrounging EU the better. Bring it on 😉😊

She comes across as pretty stupid too, I don’t get why someone to be that vile tbh.

Not one person has said that yet, I’m willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt that they voted for legitimate real reasons but not seen one yet.

The thing is immigration will need to be maintained it’ll just be non EU immigration. I don’t care where immigrants come from myself but I imagine anyone who voted for fewer “brown people” might be in for a shock.

[Croesy Blue]

That’s terrible, so many people out of a job over nothing. Those people didn’t vote to lose their job, they were coerced with false promise and some nonsense about taking back control even though we already have control.

They won’t be the last to suffer because of it either. Good to know you didn’t lose your job though Des

It's ok for me but telling people they don't have a job is the shittiest thing in business, especially when you've personally employed many of them and they've relocated families & lives for the job. It's always much easier to manage a business on the up than it is on a down.

Terrible situation be in. I was made redundant once and was awful but I took the opportunity to totally change my lifestyle for the better.
I realise your not being made redundant yourself Des. but why don't you jack it all in if the job is making you so unhappy?

I've only got a few years left before I retire, I'm not moving now, if they want to get rid of me now they're have to pay for the redundancy or forced early retirement. Besides, I'm not going to give up on my people, I'll fight for every one of them, to ensure they get the best deals or transfers.

I'll keep it shortish. I dont want EU dictating laws what we can and cant do, paying MEP's silly money for doing **** all (The Kinnock gravy train), bailing out the likes of Greece and Italy knowing they will never pay it back, control our borders, control our fishing grounds......that'll do for now. Why do you want to remain?

Which laws have been dictated to us? The UK has voted on all EU laws. Might have lost a few times but that's what happens in a democracy - there are great swathes of the UK who don't get the policies they want (or need) from the UK government.

Two questions. 1) How much control do you think the EU has on our borders? 2) What percentage (roughly) of our laws originate from the EU and, of those, how many were forced on us against our will?
