And it turns out many of the signatures on the petition were fake!

He should have said -
'A petition, you say?'
'Less popular than Farago?'
'On Twitter?'
Then dropped his pants and waggled his arse* at the camera.

Re: In todays news...
I think there've been prior petitions with way more sigs (regarding Brexit) that have been rejected. (and ISTR similar claims at the time that some of the sigs. were hooky)Taipan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2024 11:31 am Starmer is on daytime tv and was told about the petition which has now over 2 million signatures and that his approval rating is lower than Farages and he seemed to find the whole thing amusing!

On that basis, Starmer must be hugely popular and should be PM for life!

Re: In todays news...
At what point did the British public become so retarded as to fervently sign and pass on a petition that has the potential to change absolutely fuck all?

Re: In todays news...
It’s not just the British, apparently it’s being signed from much farther afield. Just need a 150 million Trump supporters to help out now!
I don’t think anyone really thinks they’ll get another general election out of it but it’s a terribly British way to protest, sort of
Dear Sir,
polite rant,

Re: In todays news...
How many signatures now?
According to the BBC:
In 2019, a petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled received 6.1 million signatures. Four years later a call for a second Brexit referendum garnered 4.2 million names.

Re: In todays news...
About 8% of the population support the recent riots. Probably racist idiots.
That's about 5 million
I recently joined a racist FB group and it was sickening.
The hatred for blacks was equalled by the hatred of the current Govt.
I imagine many of those who are signing this petition are from this 8%.
8% figure is from Gov website

Re: In todays news...
Yeah. To see what's going on. I only lasted a week before I bailed. So many stupid folk full of hatred.
Hundreds of false racist stories to whip up hatred.

Re: In todays news...
Well it certainly shows that huge numbers of people signing an online petition won't achieve much.
