OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

[Manofpride]

I think it all boils down to the majority of people who voted on Brexit wanted out, the majority of politicians wanted to remain. Toys have been thrown out of the pram because they haven't got what they wanted so have tried every trick in the book to reverse it!
Just give the people what they voted for, it's so simple.

You might find that such votes are skewed by the fact that more remainers (and I include myself in this) have time to fanny about on computers than Leavers, who for the most part are out there actually getting on with something useful

Oh c’mon AF, what’s your next excuse?
How hard/long does it take to sign an e-petition?
You might find that such votes are just an indication of the strength of public feeling...unless of course you’re implying that typical Leave supporters aren’t sufficiently computer literate.

You may be right MoP but one thing it patently isn’t is ‘simple’. The result was advisory...the situation is unprecedented unless you can provide another example of the ‘people’ having a better understanding of complex economic affairs than the ‘majority of MP’s’.

No I'm suggesting they are busy keeping the country moving. Not mentioned here before, some months ago I swapped a deskbound/in front of an internet connected PC 9-5 job for one where I don't see a computer all day most days, it truly changes ones focus believe me, and the focus isn't on tapping away at meaningless petitions. And yes, two of the fellahs I share my time with most days are pretty much IT illiterate. One doesn't even respond to texts. Doesn't mean his opinion isn't valid though

Neither have I suggested that it does, but for all your newly found employment experience I know a great many people who are ‘keeping the country moving’ and being driven to the brink of insanity by the prospect of a ‘no deal’ exit and the uncertainty surrounding the whole issue.
Either way, your original suggestion re; the size of the Article 50 e-petition and ‘leavers’ being too busy to set up or sign their own just doesn’t stand up imo.

[AdiSalisbury]

Signed it 2 times. Took less than 1 minute.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/244233

At least its a positive cause.

[swaledale]

Reports are suggesting that the petition has a high number of signatures, from people living outside the UK, so don't get too excited by the numbers.

Ah yes and that prick Farage claims a Russian conspiracy (though they would prefer us to leave the EU), Fake news, there are several simple illustrations which show that this is entirely false, and as Anag says if your a UK citizen currently outside the UK you can sign, funny in the claim for Britain being global the thought that many British citizens maybe outside the UK, working on holiday and the like is "foreign to the leavers!

I suppose its possible that there are a number of older persons who still think we are in the 1950's who voted leave and dont realise there is such a thing as tinternet!

Cant really say how you can say what sort of Brexit people who voted leave wanted, what Brexit meant wasn't explicit the vote and the only ones wanting a hard Brexit are the rich establishment types like Farage and Rees-Mogg who without a trace of irony claim its the establishment trying to stop brexit!

And its some of the people, nit the people and given the closeness of the vote, why are some people entitled to a Hard Brexit, which whatever the delusions of some would be an utter disaster for the UK.

[swaledale]

Swale you should know that, after calling you out many times for the unsubstantiated rubbish you write, I would have my ducks in a row re provenance. Check YouTube, type in will self brexit and open the politics live debate from 3rd March. He says it after 30 seconds. AND he says what you said he said, just to reinforce his bigotry.

Sorry your absolutely wrong on this one, and for me you never have had your ducks in a row, you rarely speak any sense whatsoever deliberate misinterpretation again, suggest you perhaps get your ears cleaned and your understanding of the Uk language improved.

As for calling me out many times, WTF? You might think you have I know you haven't but why spoil someones illusions eh?

Which shows how small and thickly walled the bubble is that you inhabit.
