If you are British and value your pension and other UK arising income, sign this!

[Kalasin Jo]

As a Brit whatever you may think of Brexit, one thing is clear : if you are dependant on £ sterling income be it pension or investment, even salary or wages,and you need to send it to Thailand you have been hit, as I have, by the dramatic fall in £ sterling on the money markets since June 2016. It's not just a matter of a strong baht. The £ has fallen around 20% against all but the most tinpot currencies.

 

If someone has posted this before, I do not apologize. It's worth saying again. There is a UK public Parliamentary petition to revoke the Art. 50 notice to quit the EU. It has in just a few days gained enormous traction in the UK and with overseas UK citizens. The largest ever petition, now standing as I write this at over 5,730,500 signatories. Yes that's close to 6 million now, mostly UK signatures. It is all over UK news.

 

MPs and Parliament ARE taking notice, but sadly not the PM nor her closest political friends, such as she has left. The Usual Suspects.

 

There are only days to go before a default no deal exit will kick in if nothing else is agreed. That would be catastrophic for the £.

 

So, if you are a UK citizen and haven't signed the petition, please do so!. It may well help save your UK arising income from further devaluation. The £ might even go up! The link to do so is here

 

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

 

You do not have to be UK resident. In the country "box" use the drop down menu arrow on the right in the box to select Thailand then put in your Thai postcode in the postcode box. Click 'sign the petiition'. Shortly after you will receive an email from Parliament Petitions ( check your spam folder if it is not in you inbox ). Click on the link in the email to confirm your signature. It's done.

 

JUST. DO. IT! 

 

And share the link far and wide!

Rubbish. (98% UK signatures) Brits do live permanently in the EU too, about 1.5 million of them. They also work overseas, or are stationed overseas in our armed forces, the world over. Check the Parliamentary Petitions website for stats.

 

 Why are expats who have been out of the UK a long time so anti EU ? Is it an Empire syndrome thing? Long gone matey and not coming back whatever happens.

Let me know when it passes 17 million, you know, the number of people who voted to leave.

[Guderian]

If the OP is so concerned about the matter then the proper way to express his views and concerns under the British constitution is via his elected representative in Parliament, not some dodgy online petition that has no purpose other than to (possibly) trigger a debate on the matter with no legal force whatsoever. I'm assuming, of course, that the OP is registered as an Overseas Voter and so actually has an elected representative in Parliament, but being so concerned about British current affairs and politics he's bound to be isn't he?

[Irishrogue]

The majority in the country voted to leave now all the moaners want to circumvent the democratic process. 6 million is less than 10% of the population. It is a sad fact that "Those who shout loudest are heard first" and one might assume that the 6 million are made up in large part by people from other countries or Corben and his communist friends.

A Democracy is not a Democracy if you cannot change your mind. 5 days to reach 6 million and the petition can reach 17.4 Million in 3 weeks. Leave petition has been running much longer and only has 400,000 votes.

Why would anyone need to start a leave petition when the vote to leave has already been made?

 

I'd never heard of the leave petition until your post.

My nationality.

So MPs will now have to have a debate about Brexit. I thought they did nothing else but.

I voted Remain, but fully accept the will of the majority to leave the EU. It's called democracy.

[Thingamabob]

No way. I respect the result of the referendum whatever the personal cost.

-----------------------------

The idea that the EU functions the same way as the former USSR with the European Commission equal to a Politburo is fake news :  all 27 member states will have veto power regardless of what the European Commission negotiated.

And you’ll be able to buy bent bananas again, there’ll be no foreigners anymore and it’ll be just like the good old 1930s when the world respected the British Empire

As a Brit who voted "no" to joining the Common Market back in the early 1970's, I am still anti EU and will not sign this petition. A democratic vote has already been decided!!

You are right but it shows that referendums about very complicated issues should be decided by a majority of 2/3+  ....the same majority required in many countries to change their constitution

Forget about signing the petition! The people had their say, and the majority said they want OUT of the EU.

Yeah and it was a once in a lifetime, never ever to be challenged or discussed, absolutely binding decision - right?

 

Only in the fantasy world of Brexiters!

Why should the EU cave in to the demands of the British government telling them to break the EU rules?

If you believed the cake and eat it of the self serving toff’s...then more fool you

[Enoon]

 

March the 29th 2019.

 

The day that the UK was definitely going to leave the EU.

 

Then it became the day that the UK might not leave the EU.

 

Now it's business as usual on March 29th 2019.

 

Now so much easier to miss the next "deadline"......and the next.......and...........then forget about them altogether.

 

See? it's easy when you (they) know how.

 

And you (they) keep their eye on the ball:
