I would ask why do the mods allow people to come on here and talk such bollax. So 81000 people out of 47.5m people who voted at the last general election want a change of government. If my maths is right that is about 0.17% of the voting population want a change of government. No matter who's side you are on in this argument, how can that seriously represent any sort of movement against the present govt. The

And here?s me thinking you are the leader of free speech.

Over 100 thousand in one day roly for a petition 99% of the population have not heard about. Give it national exposure (which the MSM won’t give it ) and your “impossible “ figure might well be reached.

The last petition got over 3 million signatures and a debate was held in January:

It is highly unlikely that the current petition will be selected for debate given that one was held so recently.

This current petition would have to have support of at least 10 million signatures before anyone would take it seriously. Why that particular figure? Anything less would generate a debate of course and then it would be ignored as being completely out of hand and consigned to the bin. Anything more than 10 million signatures would still not be taken seriously. Debated yes but binned later.
As Jean Paul Sartre once wrote, " The Die is Cast" ou "Les Jeux Sont Faits" for the benefit of our European friends.
This current Labour Government will not be changing course any time soon. The latter are controlled by the puppet masters in Whitehall and beyond.
Any Political Party which is elected to run the UK ( that's a joke in itself) will have their hands tied by self same puppet masters and told what to do.
Remember Rachel Reeves when she was crying and distressed in the House Of Commons? Poor lass had been given a dressing down by, I suspect, the men in suits. She has been made to look incompetent. Even her hands have been tied. Statistically if the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer goes/resigns the financial markets become jittery. The Prime Minister would lose all credibility, what's left of it. Sir Keir Starmer would have no other option but to seek an audience with the King before calling a GE.
Tell me I am wrong.

There would have to be a national strike lasting several weeks or even months to bring a government down .

I think we all know that's unlikely to happen for even one day so unfortunately it is what it is .

Labour are likely to do the full 5 years too , finding an opportunity to call a snap election might prove tricky to say the least .

The latest 40 billion pounds black hole isn't going to go down too well with the electorate and yes taxes will be going up .

Unfortunately you won't see any improvement for your extra taxation either .

My advice would be to get out if you can , the countrys done for and it isn't going to get better either .

Used to get one of them on top of a double decking bus!

Was told we all have only a few minutes to live. Bloke next to me said I'm going to shag anything that moves what you going to do. Said I'm going to stand very still!

Roly. Why do you always come back on here after a hiatus and open with a dig against the moderators? If nobody on here was allowed to talk 'bollax' as you call it then it would be like the Marie Celeste. By all means challenge the 'bollax', but either stop having a go at us or just stop posting.

Free speech? Maybe, maybe not.

Sensible speech? Definitely.

They are doing a great job. 😁

It isn’t a general election we need it is the complete removal of all 600+ charlatans that pretend to represent the people and even worse is the House of Lords and the wider establishment. The apparent level of corruption within the UK establishment aspersions to get worse each year, the only good news is we don’t have to tolerate an unelected president who misplaces emails related to allegations over improper business deals.

[MillerBill]

Don't forget the useless overpaid fat cats at Whitehall who have been ruining this country for the last three decades.
