For those of you who feel strongly: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/239706

Over the last eighteen months only 2 polls have shown a majority for leave whilst 34 polls have sbown a Remain majority.

The majority have been ignored far too long. This brexit nonsense has done enough damage and should be stopped.

If that leads to the break up of the Tory and Labour parties and a new political system, then we could have a better future.

If this Brexit is halted...be warned. It will not be the end of the matter...UKIP (or another version) will rise again...it could be the end of the Conservative party, in fact, it could be the end of our political system, if the wishes of the majority count for so little.

Done it again sorry, it was 61,440 but it's gone up again since then.

Ginny42 Thu 14-Feb-19 06:46:12

62,440 signatures at 06.44. The figure was creeping up even in the early hours. As the OP said if you feel strongly please sign.

More than halfway there now!

GrandmaKT Wed 13-Feb-19 17:43:51

Nearly half way! 49,650 as I type (need 100,000 to be considered for debate in parliament).
I am slightly discouraged that the thread on Cauliflower Cheese has 125 comments compared to 39 on here. Come on Gransnetters!
(Nothing against cauliflower cheese, just sayin...)

I agree that there are probably too many similar anti-brexit petitions but I sign them anyway and forward the link to all like-minded friends.

This country is in a perilous state and we must all do whatever we can to avoid inflicting further damage on future generations by allowing this brexit nonsense to go ahead.

Thanks all who have signed. I also sign every one which comes my way.

Just heard inflation is down, I think people are too scared to spend money.

Ginny sounds familiar - 'doing a Cameron'.

humptydumpty Wed 13-Feb-19 12:06:57

Signed - but with no hope sad

Signing this and any other petitions may just save us leaping off the cliff. We can't afford to be complacent.

It's difficult to know just what TM is actually hoping for. She's prevaricating whilst we hurtle towards the cliff top.

Then I read she's going to resign this summer! How very nice for her and her husband walking off into the sunset. The rich won't go short of anything.

Signed

Up to 38,315.
I've shared on a local forum, but it has been ignored. People just seem committed to their fate.

signed- but please share and share, and share some more

I agree. Seems to me that T May is playing chicken and will take it to the line. I’m fearful of falling off the cliff. The state of the economy is already precarious with public services suffering for lack of investment and the poorest finding so difficult.

Bathsheba Wed 13-Feb-19 08:11:57

We just have to keep trying, don’t we? We have to do anything and everything we can to stop the madness.
