That's more than half a million in the last hour alone. Not many of those from Barnsley if you check the map.
Members of the EU have tonight agreed to extend the deadline for Brexit to the 22nd May providing the agreed deal that May has had rejected twice is passed by Parliament next week. If it is not accepted , they have set the deadline to leave the EU ( presumably without a deal) as the 12 th April 2019.
Im not a lover of Tony Blair but to think Blair is worse than the likes of Robinson, Farage and the rest of them bigoted racists then you must be a sad brewer.
I probably am sad, however the actions of Blair put him head and shoulders above, not only any single person in the list, but the list collectively....and possibly any person born in the British Isles for a very long time indeed. Blair's lies, and they were lies of the worst kind, over WMD led us to support and legitimise Bush in the invasion of Iraq, going on a million people are now dead, most of whom would be alive today where it not for him. There is no shortage of evidence to support that, in my view he should have been prosecuted.
Oh yes, provided both sides are allowed equal footing Gimmer.. Remain should not have been allowed to spend £9 million of taxpayers money when leave were not given the same opportunity. That is less than what the remain campaign are complaining the leave campaign overspend by. So leave won on a smaller budget not funded by the public purse. Remain should be dragged over hot coals for that blatant cheating... Hypocrites indeed.
I'm not an expert but have watched a few of these petitons in the past, this one seems to be unusual in that a massive number of signatures seem to have been collected in a short time...not unusual in itself, but generally there is also a steady stream of individual signatures every few minutes. I didn't take particular note of what time I started watching it but it seems to have completely stuck on 2,232,118 for around an hour plus...if it is much higher in the morning I would suggest some kind of block 'voting is going on.
Way off the mark with Theresa May: she was/is a remainer, vocally and visibly so during the original campaign
It wasnt a fortnight ago that it was decided by a fair number of posters this forum amongst others that a 15 year old coming to 16 year old girl was unable to make her own mind about her political standpoint and was groomed and coerced into the decision she made. Does this grooming and coersion only last until the recipient turns 16 or is it a case of a 16 year old being responsible and having a sound mind when it suits an agenda?
You don't think it might be that the weight of numbers is causing the system to creak then? When I've voted on these before the email came straight through. This time it didn't. When it did the link didn't work. But hey, let's have a convenient conspiracy theory instead. If that doesn't work there's always Fake News to blame.
I voted remain and would do again. The leave campaign was peppered with misleading information. However at the time when I received the remain leaflet I felt very uncomfortable that the government of the day could spend taxpayers money to put forward their side of the argument.
Whether I agree or not is immaterial. I've no strong view either way. ( you could probably use the same argument as some people say " Barnsley would put a donkey in parliament if it was labour " Based on tradition rather than values. Which I believe the latter to be the case.)I was responding to the comment legal age for voting is 18. When in fact in Scotland it's 16.
