I think we should let Baker lite carry on with his "I'm not an EU citizen anymore from 2300 next Friday stuff. I've always been fascinated to see what happens if one individual declares independence from a nation unilaterally.
Stupid people are in the majority therefore Leave always had a very , very good chance of getting voted through.
True.

Just go back and look at a world map from 1919. And then one from 1819. And then use a bit of imagination to, er, imagine what one from 2119 will look like. It's easy if you try.

Even if that were true it’s not about majorities but power - crikey, even the dumbest must know that by now, yes?
Plus it was backed by the billionaire owners of the majority of the popular newspapers.
They're not "the elite" though obviously. Not that elite anyway. A different one, who wants things to be better for everyone. Not themselves. Yes.
How do people convince themselves of this bullshit?!

Some folk are having some chuckles on this petition.
By legal default, on our way.

You've been copying Julia Hartley-Brewer, haven't you? Who, incidentally is encouraging fraud, and is, in fact, wrong.

It's amusing to think that some Leavers have signed once to try to discredit the petition, but have added to the number.
Apart from the illegal activity of leavers, and the fact that most people assumed that remain would win and therefore many may not have bothered voting.

The Falklands Referendum was March 2013. Just three people out of the entire population voted to leave Britain.
In 1919 and 1819 we had a British Empire, and nobody had a choice of who ruled them. After two world wars the Empire was gone, finished, destroyed.
Out of that arose the Commonwealth where countries that wanted to align with us, did it voluntarily.
Even the Scots chose to Remain with the UK recently.
Here ends the history lesson.

If you are leaving the EU next Friday don't forget the visa to leave your house is £7.
You can then spend three months in the Montague Centre.
This woman really is a prize wally. I look forward to the day when the planet reaches its senses and we stop giving halfwits like her any airtime.

So did you vote to stay in the customs union or to put a hard border In NI/Ireland because I'm sure that someone with your knowledge of the issues is completely aware that you have to choose one or the other, so which did you vote for.
(Or if that is too complicated you could write insults in CAPITALS instead)

I voted leave and I didn’t do anything illegal? Nah, this illegal dark forces conspiracy angle simply smells like sour grapes and is just a tad being over emphasised. Besides anyone would think the Remain campaign represented the forces of light and goodness. The EU butter mountain wouldn’t melt in its mouth eh?

I love this present time of instant communication. No pseudonym, just a straight forward name, which can be checked.

In Swiss Parliament, they vote on whether to accept EU changes, they don't get to help shape those changes, and on the rare occasions they decide no, the EU reminds them that to not adopt would breach one or other of the bi-lateral agreements they have, the Swiss vote again and say yes. It is their sovereign power to say no, but they always say yes because saying no causes big problems. The illusion of more sovereignty than the UK as a member, whilst the UK actually has greater sovereignty, if you class it as actually getting the decision you want rather than having to vote on something you dont want but saying yes anyway because no is too problematic.
Swiss type arrangements is where we would probably end up if we stick no deal out for long enough. My reckoning is though that we would not stick out no deal for very long at all and we go more like Norway, but with the customs union too.
It's very funny. Like a reverse of what we did to the Palace petition where the outcome actually ****ed the club up even more.
I remember the Palace forum posts, panicking "half these signatures are Brighton taking the piss!!" etc.
So morons like JHB are actively encouraging people to add to the number of signatures multiple times. To achieve what exactly? Help get it to 4m and even more publicity?
