It does not say who started that petition - It was a woman and she was interviewed by phone on the BBC from Cyprus.
The guardian says The petition began gaining signatures on Wednesday evening after Theresa May criticised MPs for not approving her Brexit deal. But the lady herself said that it was getting nowhere and she almost gave up but then started to tell everyone she could (via facebook I assume ) and from there it went a little viral and all BEFORE May's tv statement.The BBC are more than happy to also promote it.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Now 875,000 and still rising fast.
Using Facebook eh? The place where the Russians told you all to vote Leave

Oh come on! Foccin wise up YamFazFan. 104 pages in and either you are playing politics yourself or you really do - do not have a clue.
The independent group are not a political party, and nor do they have a leader.
Let me put it this way – do you think May considered inviting Anna Soubry? Yeah seriously! I mean if she wanted the so-called Independent group to be there that would have been the respectful thing to do considering she was also inviting the leader of the opposition. No of course she wouldn’t- hell would have to freeze over before May would willingly invite Soubry to the table.
So yeah it was a set up. With just a few days to go she’s deploying every dirty political trick in the book.
She is a useless, dishonest, Prime Minister, who frankly is no longer in control of anything.
VNA It's you the one that's spouting the same clap trap as when I unfortunately started this thread I started it so you had your own thread oh forgot about your idiot side kick could spout off and the rest of us didn't have to put up with it. Personally I bitterly regret starting it and wish the moderators would take it down before it rips apart what used to be a great forum.
PLEASE MODS TAKE THIS THREAD DOWN WHILE WE STILL HAVE A FORUM LEFT

Steve. Just back on the 16[sup]th[/sup] of march I posted my first political thread on foc-u. I broke my own rule. And I’ve been on this forum since it began. The only reason I started my Christchurch thread is because I have been shocked by some of the extreme views expressed on this forum. I am talking about racist, fascist and Islamophobic comments and material. Not entirely to my surprise the thread has been pretty much ignored – though I had hoped maybe folks would have at least expressed their solidarity with the Muslim communities in Christchurch and indeed here in the UK. 50 innocent people, including young children, shot dead at their place of worship.
As for your BREXIT thread Steve, and lets be absolutely clear – it is your thread Steve, you started it – I didn’t even comment on it till page 6! I gave it plenty of time to die before I commented.
It’s clearly not just I and one other person. But what you are really saying, is that you, like many others here, want to express a political opinion, and you look to others to reinforce that opinion, but you are unable to accept that others may disagree with you. Sorry, but life ain’t like that.
Oh Steve, congratulations on the most popular foc-u thread in 2019 so far. Well done bud!

Yes it was ignored and you then bumped it yourself because it was 10 post's down.over 100 people had looked at your post by then and not one person was willing to post - not because as you say they did not want to express solidarity (in your head ) but because everyone knows that you only posted it so that you could jump on to anyone who did not fully agree with you, then you could virtue signal your way through another 100 pages. Poor F4celess fell right into your trap and as far as I could see from his post he was coming from an angle of being on your side but your are so lost in your own world view that you read what you wanted or expected to read. 258 views now and no one apart from F4celess has posted into it. (of course I discount your wing man/sidekick who is always guaranteed to back you up )
It didn't work - no one will reply, so you are bringing the subject up on this thread just to cause more arguments and discourse.

Didn’t bump it and I’m not bumping it. Added 50 dead. I really not sure where F4celess was coming from and stated so. Not jumping anybody.
Wasn’t aware you had the same problem as Steve Fazersharp.

They got voted in. We voted them in to represent us.
Anyway, so it looks like May's deal is coming back for a thirs time.
I might be wrong, but I just can't see it going through.
And if it does go through? I mean the biggest defeat in parliamentary history to being passed. That would be a calamity itself.
I hope MP's are ready to act fast when (if) this is rejected. The country will be right on the edge of disaster.
My prediction today (which might change tomorrow :lol ) is, and I can hardly believe I am saying this - is the second referendum is coming. We'll need it to avoid no deal. If May's deal is rejected the EU will basically say, either you go for a second referendum - a general election - or there is No Deal.
What May has done is put the EU in charge.
I like motorbikes, I got 3 ..the fazer is my road bike used for work etc, I recently bought a Guzzi cos I went to the factory and wanted a sunny day bike, and its let me down already. I also compete in trials at the weekend with my son. for that I use a Sherco, I am shit but I enjoy it and its cheap fun. I don't really give a fuck about people in suits who got nothing in common with me. If we were all at box hill / Bury hill/ newlands etc etc. this shit wouldn be talked about so lets blank it and talk bikes..
There is probably a forum for this sort of brexit shit, but this aint it.. I am not being naïve ( spell ?) but falling out over a load of freeloading twats is pointless, we are all into bikes so we should talk about that.
