Government petition for a re run of the referendum vote

Do your mum and dad know you´re using their computer, Sonny?

Please remember everyone that this forum's policy is to be helpful and friendly.

Whatever the result had been, the other side would no doubt be saying and doing similar things.

Please put yourself in the position of others and think how you would have felt if the result had been different.

Treat others as you would like to be treated and respect the views of others. It's only fair!

Thank you.

Sorry Grandpaw another point deduction for repeated arrogant rudeness.

I think we all need to watch Bambi and take thumpers advice if you can't say anything nice say nothing at all

You could not make this up. Below is a facebook message from Oliver Healey of the English Democratic party - an extreme right racist party. Kind of similar to what Nigel was saying a couple of weeks ago about a second referendum if it was as close as 52-48 %.

Now 3,121,739 signatures I wonder how many before the referendum result was known. Probably 39.

Re: EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum petition
This petition was created at a time (over a month ago) when it was looking unlikely that 'leave' were going to win, with the intention of making it harder for 'remain' to further shackle us to the EU. Due to the result, the petition has been hijacked by the remain campaign. Admittedly, my actions were premature however, my intentions were as stated above. THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE OF A LEAVE VICTORY AT THAT TIME!!! Having said that, if it had not been mine, it would have been orchestrated by someone on the remain campaign. However, since I am associated with the petition and before the press further associate me with it I felt the need to better clarify my position on the issue even if it looks bad. I am it's creator, nothing more! The logistical probability of getting a turnout to be a minimum of 75% and of that, 60% of the vote must be one or the other (leave or remain) is in my opinion next to impossible without a compulsory element to the voting system.
I have been opposed to the bureaucratic and undemocratic nature of the European Union as an institution privately for many years and for all of my political career. I have openly and actively lent my support to both Vote Leave and Grassroots Out campaigns - why would I do this if I wanted to remain in the EU? I am genuinely appalled by the behaviour of some of the remain campaign, how they are conducting themselves post-referendum not just with this petition but generally. The referendum was fairly funded; democratically endorsed, every vote was weighted equally and I believe this was a true reflection of the mood of the country. To my fellow leavers, now doubting their decision please keep the faith, we will be fine just stick with it. I believe what we need to do now for the good of the country; is get behind the will of the British people, unite, issue Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon and move forward, with the process of leaving the European Union.

Want to lend my tennis racquet md?

I see Know It All is playing up to his groupie, get a room.

Two shot penalty for outright rudeness, if you have no mates, still no need to get the hump surely

This rhread ids rapidly going downhill into personal insults even faster than the other

Is there anything useful to be gained by keeping it open?

Rather than locking it at the moment as it has only 2 pages and the other one had 180+ pages and had run its course, please try to keep calm and stay friendly.

We do have a report button on all posts for any unacceptable comments.

If it continues to go downhill we will agree to lock it, with a time warning.
