Lots of people are re-accessing the site or not closing the tab after signing in order to keep an eye on the signature numbers, not realising this ‘virtual rubber-necking’ is adding to the traffic and crashing the site.
If you want live updates, you can use this – it is a live stream of the site:
Theresa May has spoken many times about the ‘will of the people.’ It seems to me, the ultimate ‘will of the people’ comes with a General Election.
I’m not sure if she can revoke Article 50 without Cabinet approval but, she can probably call a General Election, effectively putting Brexit on ice, and see the real ‘will of the people!’ I doubt Corbyn will object.
I have little doubt that Mrs May wouldn’t give a monkeys if half the country signed it, she is now beyond help, she is stark staring bonkers and self centred without a care in her head about most of the public. Her speech the other day was just unbelievable, well it would have been if I hadn’t seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears….
may is surely finished now. Trouble is who replaces her? I can’t think of anyone who posesses the qualities needed to take charge and move forward. If there was, they would surely have moved already before it got this far.
It has to go back to the people to decide because parliament clearly can’t. They are all so tied up in self interest they can’t see the bigger picture. Bring on the next election and dump the lot of them, if nothing else this disaster has clearly shown not one of them is fit to fun the village fete yet alone the country’s fate.
I think some might be losing sight of the way leaving the EU works. There are set rules and regs in how one leaves the EU, all countries are aware of those, May had a few ways she could legally within the laws laid down leave but wanted to add her one rules on leaving. This has been the main, if not the sole reason for all this delay. Remember is it two/three/four Brexit ministers that resigned their post on dealing with the EU, why? Well there was no leeway, Davis had never been in a position of that kind and fell at the first hurdle, the EU had several negotiators who could debate/deal with Brexit by the UK. Other ministers shied away, rather embarrassingly for the UK. Imagine you are representing the EU against the UK, you must be quite puzzled with the way Mrs May has taken over and there being no one else with the ability or experience to negotiate on the part of the UK!
This lady has no idea about business, which at the end of the day is what leaving is really all about. She goes back to the EU and asks the same questions, she then comes back and asks for the same deal to be put through. In business it would be laughed out of the boardroom and so is it any wonder the EU are totally baffled by the way she and indeed the UK are handling Brexit.
I really do not see how having an extension is going to change any of that either Roger
None at all there is no leeway, the rules are there for leaving. The EU have offered time but will only accept a new “format” from Mrs May and Parliament have already informed her by the number of votes she has lost in the Commons that they will not accept the deal, or any deal that mirrors her deal . It is a total calamity of her own making….As is said elsewhere in life, she is simply not fit for purpose.
