Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Bruce Wayne]

According to the BBC:

Data from the petitions website on Thursday evening suggested 1.3m signatures were from people who said they were from the UK, 10,000 from France, nearly 6,000 from Spain and more than 4,000 from Germany, among others.

Don't understand their 1.3m figure when it was over 2m at the time the BBC wrote the article, as it only specifies whether you are a British Citizen or a UK resident on the petition. 700,000+ from outside the UK doesn't seem right to me.

Having said that, even if it is 2m, 8m, or 12m, I don't think it holds much weight at all unless the leave side set one up and theirs doesn't do nearly as well. In isolation this petition can't be listened to. Doesn't indicate anything other than those of us who voted remain still want to do so and have signed the petition.

If it got say 17m legitimate votes then they would have to take notice, but can't see it.

Fairly sure there was one pushing for a no deal Brexit and it mustered around 600,000 votes.

I think Brexit as proffered by May is over. That EU conference has put paid to that. I doubt she'll go for MV3 based on substantively what went before. A softer Brexit surley has to be the only basis for the next MV?

We have been stitched up once again, with a keep voting until you get the ‘right’ result strategy......

It seems like a fair assessment.

But the ice-cream man hasn't been asked to resign as half a dozen other ice cream sellers rock the ice cream van whilst not offering any alternative versions of ice cream.

Brexit is finished. You're not going anywhere.

What are you going on about. It’s not a treaty, a treaty is a binding agreement between EU countries (i.e. Treaty of Lisbon). We have activated an article within treaty.

We don’t have a trade deal because we cannot negotiate a trade deal with the EU until we leave. The Withdrawal Agreement is not a trade deal, it’s a transitional agreement whilst we negotiate a trade deal. In other words, how we operate with the EU on leaving until a future agreement can be reached.

It does help if you know what’s going on rather than chat absolute bubbles Joe

What a "Deal" she's negotiated and wants us to accept...3 years spent getting butthurt at every stage by the EU.

Today's Brexit Hypocrisy:

People adamant that Russia couldnt, wouldn't, didn't or had no effect on the referendum, are adamant that foreigners are responsible for the Revoke A.50 petition.

What is the practical effect of this million man petition?

Is parliament now obliged to debate the issue?

Someone will bring it as a point of discussion, nothing has to be done about it. Hard to ignore though of it gets to silly numbers.

It's a complete and utter waste of time.

The referdum was held. The Leave vote won.

Now some planks are signing a petition because they don't like the result? I'm also pretty certain that people from all over the world can add to the petition, too. lol

What a load of tripe.

I clicked on that just now and the petition came up.

So I have added my name to it.

The total now stands at 2,833,567
