shes been bullied imo....by all sides but especially by corbyn and labour...regardless if you want her deal changed , the way shes been treated and spoken to and about is a disgrace. and no its not sexism before but PC snowflake starts with that nonsense. its simply bullying

 

[ncurd]

Please explain how she's been bullied? How has she been mistreated?

 

[Amiga500]

The referendum was not a bad idea. It would have given closure to the issue.

Running a sh|t campaign was the problem

Nope.

She is trying to bully parliament.

She's a clown.

Btw can anyone explain how the colours work because the leave petition with 300,000 looks dark red everywhere as though it has massive support and the revoke one has 3 million and still looks yellow.

Where do you see those colours? I only see Grey and Black.

Strange I get from pale yellow to dark red.

 

[Amiga500]

Ah....

https://petitions.acadweb.co.uk/overview/241584


Total Signatures 3,008,594 (1,238,638 for UK constituencies; 41%)

So really, the total of real voters is likely much less than 3 million. Not so good.

 

[ncurd]

I think I read somewhere the json for constituency counts looks way behind, it looks the same way for countries too as there are not 2 million from elsewhere. So reality is thier % calculation is wrong as the two bits of data don't add up.

[Amiga500]

Then its probably just lagging - with the volume of petitioners they haven't bothered trying to keep up.

 

[truthteller]

when we do leave in the next few months...i wonder if there will be a referendum to get back in? or a general election to get a new deal with europe?

At the top right of each map, it gives your a key
The 2 petitions are on completely different scales, to make the smaller petition look more popular.

Either written sarcasm isn't working, or you missed a negative in there.
May is the one who's been attempting to bully everyone (except the ERG).
May is the one who's been playing brinkmanship at every opportunity.
May is the one hamstringing her own negotiation team.
May is the most incompetent PM, and quite possibly the most incompetent MP* in history.


* At least, incompetent for the job they were given. I'm sure there have been back benchers who'd be equally unsuited for high office that simply never held high office.

 

[ncurd]

Ah its the map!

 

[truthteller]

another left wing anti brexit petty petition followed by an angry loud mouthed bullying rabble screaming at people
Ive got a petition for them.....17.4 million people signed it....better still it wasnt a petition it was a vote to leave the EU

 

[Groundhog]

Haha the woman who brought the openly anti-gay anti everything bible bashing sectarian DUP into political relevance in the UK is being bullied is she? My heart goes out to the margianalised Tories as they try and stomp out the document which ensured peace on this island. Pull the other one. 17.4 million turkeys voting for Christmas.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Not Brexit but interesting video

If you watch one of those videos whatever it is about the YouTube algorithm (maybe how similar all the ***les are?) they get recommended to you until the end of time.

I miss the days of watching a cat play the keyboard and 5 continuous hours of different youtube videos later seeing a guy kick a breeze-block wall and getting his leg stuck.
Now it's watching a dog skateboard and the next video will be SJW getting owed 100!!!!!!

the issues with racism and sexism are harder to deal with now because labour brought in so many 1000s of laws, instead of actually trying to manage it, by empowering schools, businesses, councils...with rules and regulations and common sense ideas ...Theyve over legislated. Its a unholy mess now. many groups now have either more rights or more help and assistance than the majority. there are even seperate courts and different laws for travellers, muslims and jewish people. But we are now so tied up up PC legislation one can barely even talk about it without the slanderous lie of racist sexist accusation being thrown....The irony is the most discriminated against are the disabled and they get way less protection , barely any at all. Less focus in the media, less financial help, less protection from harassment, bullying..And these people are infinitely more vulnerable,,often physically , mentally all sorts of issues..In fact is there even a word for discriminating against disabled people>?
