Many voted to leave (not that I agree with them) with noble intent. Any large movement will attract hooligan elements. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small numbers signing pro Brexit petitions compared to the large numbers signing this cancel Brexit petition: the small numbers who have attended pro Brexit rallies, including this march, compared to the large numbers attending rallies and marches calling for either another referendum or for Brexit to be cancelled indicates that a significant proportion of leave voters have done so. Add them to the 16.1 million who voted remain and the result could very well be different. Which is, of course, precisely why Brexiteers don't want another referendum! 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Mirror now employs some ex News of the World investigative journalist. I would probably post something like "I would like to shoot some of the Brexiteers on here", but I never would. But I never have sent anyone threatening or abusive Letters, Emails, PM's, Texted or phoned. Yet she had her Facebook hacked, received threatening abusive phone calls telling her to pull the petition, I doubt she can do that which just proves how lower form of intelligence we dealing with, probably the same crackpots who have been threatening MP's, after what happened to Jo Cox I have no doubt that these threatening messages. And Guido Fawkes just a comic book for right wing extremists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I was wondering about emailing my MP when we know what votes will becoming coming up next week to tell him I am one of thousands in his constituency who has signed the petition, and will be watching how he votes. but there again he knows I would not vote for him. Looking at the figures broken down by constituency for those who have signed with an average 6585 per constituency from 1363 (Walsall North) to 28985 (Bristol West) and given many MP's only have a majority of a few hundred votes many MP's who are still in favor of leave must be very worried about getting re-elected. There are 12 constituencies with over 20,000 signatures including: Islington North, Rt Hon Jeremy Corbyn MP, 21,394 Richmond Park, Zac Goldsmith MP, 21,506 Holborn and St Pancras, Rt Hon Keir Starmer MP, 22,103 Hackney North and Stoke Newington, Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP, 22,198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason? If there were no subsidy he'd be calling for a "no deal" Brexit? An argument that lacks credibility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mikeasq60 Posted March 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'm not buying that there's 1 million signature's to remain in the EU. I guess if you put it up for a vote until you get what you want ya its possible to remain. But its already been voted to LEAVE! Hell, I'm American and I know the UK is better off determining there own fate and not the dreams of the EU commissars! There's going to be big problems if the vote of the people isn't carried out!

Update - now almost 3.9 million. Quicker than I thought. 4.8 million as of this morning so the 5 million will soon be breached. Next target 10 million but will May actually take heed ? Doubt it, both her sycophants and that other idiot, Corbyn's MPs, are now more concerned about getting booted out at the no doubt soon to be General Election, and out of the parliment expenses gravy train than they are about the UK's overall future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
