Brexit.

[Aribeth Zelin]

Unfortunately that Referendum petition doesn't only say that more than 3 million people want to withdraw A50, but also that so far many more millions did not sign this petition because they don't care or just want to leave the EU, no matter how, just to finally get the promised unicorns and that the UK finally can be paradise on earth with Farage and Johnson as their gods AND blue passports. Mind you: BLUE PASSPORTS!!!!! That will teach those Brussels bastards.

To be fair, its also not including the people who can't get through to vote, or don't think it will matter, or aren't aware of it [I don't know how public this petition is?]

Don't forget that about half of the Brits want to leave. And A considerable part of them don't even care if the country is thrown under the bus by doing so.

I did say also. Though I think its less than half, its just the brexiters are a vocal group, much like trumpets over here.

I am not so sure about that. There's still a lot of misunderstanding about what "no deal" means.

A surprising number of people seem still to think it means things stay the same, which is quite understandable in many ways. After all, if I go to a car showroom and say, "I want to trade in my old car and buy a new one" but after they've shown me what's available and we've argued about prices and trade in terms, then I say, Sorry, but I don't like what you're offering me," I walk away with no deal, and I've still got my old car and whatever I was planning to spend on the new one.

I might not like the old car, but at least I still have a means of transport.

So a lot of people, I think, when they say they want "no deal" really mean they're sick and tired of the whole business and just want to forget about it.

Sadly, that is by no means the strangest claim made about Brexit this week, by a long way.

If this petition gets to about 17.5 million, it will exceed the "leave" vote in the referendum. That would be a politically significant number.

Vote will always be false in the code above since they used = instead of ==.

Vote will always be false in the code above since they used = instead of ==.

I'm not sure whether or not that's intentional. It's certainly what's likely to happen, and setting the test always to return FALSE because of a very common typo would be extremely appropriate for the Maybot.

In the great tradition of the british approach to news stories such as "Fog in channel, continent cut off" I give you the BBC's headline over May's european humiliation

"EU wins some Brexit breathing space" (in case they decide to change it after I post)
