Article 50

Just thought I'd pop back in to add I don't think at this stage it should matter now who voted remain/leave, we will all have to live with the consequences of Brexit. Surely it's better to approach it positively than almost wishing/hoping it all goes wrong. Agree to disagree and move on.

1763000 + signatures now. Nowhere near that many for the article 50, although, I agree, many of those who signed article 50 will want Trump to not be allowed to meet the queen.
I don't understand why Farage wanted to know that.

I presume some people on here have never signed a government petition, and don't know that you can't sign it twice. If you forget and try again it reminds you that you have already done it.

By the way, did anyone see any photos at all of Farage being at Trump's inauguration? I can't remember seeing him there at all, and I'm sure if he had been we would have seen the photos.

Varian I have to agree with Glam in that you are forever quoting percentages and trotting out that 37% old chestnut.
It's now over and 52% voted to Leave!

Hmmm perhaps a last riled up parting shot eh from dd
Sleep tight .

Thought you'd gone to bed daphnedill

Another pointless spiteful post from you Dap.

So much hate!

Malthusian theory will get you, Mair. You know what? Nobody will care.

Sounds about right!

The trouble is, of course, that loads of those who voted Leave will never find their way out of the hole. That's a good job really, because they aren't half going to be angry when they find out they've been conned.

They'll just perish in their holes.

I am certainly NOT hoping to find Wonderland at the end! Humpty Dumpty, Cheshire cats, Mad hatters

I like Ken Clarke and loved his metaphor that we were jumping down the rabbit hole and expecting Wonderland at the end!

37% of the electorate who voted to leave
I have never posted on these political threads before, but I do read them with interest. I voted remain but am fed up with seeing comments re the percentage of votes that imply the majority did not vote leave. Of those that voted, as been noted numerous times, 52% voted leave, 48% voted remain and if 29% of those eligible to vote didn't - how does anyone know what/who they would have voted for. Okay, will go back to anonymity now.

I don't like Trump ( him or Clinton were a poor choice)

Agree with you, but a 'nice' person couldnt stand up to the Bilderberg and media bullies If theyre not to get all their own way only someone who's a bit of an egomaniac could do it, and theyre doing their utmost to destroy him with the full support of the British media too. He's in great danger.

Ah well, that's sometimes the problem, email only.
There are a lot of students in the cities you mention.Hard to verify anybody on email or phone.
I don't like Trump ( him or Clinton were a poor choice) but the Americans elected him after all.Now he has to be lived with.

Correction

Apparently some 90% of signatories were the same people as signed the anti article 50 one!

The Nigel Farage show on LBC was excellent tonight. He had been doing some research on the people who signed the anti Trump visit petition.

Apparently some 90% of signatories were the same people!
Also 90% came from a few geographhical areas London, Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and E'burgh (who'd 'ave thunked it).

Is that little red spot in the north DurhamJen?

Even more interesting one caller pointed out that as you dont have to give your real address only email, people can sign up under any number of aliases.

Are you still looking for confrontation ww?

Well, there were more supporters than policemen!

Getting very wet by the look of them.

I like Ken Clarke,

Why is it any of your our business whether any GN members were there?

Are you sure rose?

Doubt there are any on Gransnet WW

For those who agree with Trump. Were you there, any of you?

Even if he spoke in favour of leaving the EU he would still be a patronising smug git.
