It must have broken records for the speed it has collected signatures I bloody well hope not. Those unelected smarmy ego trips at the top need a good kicking. As does the queen in waiting of Scotland, and Salmond the previous king in waiting. None of them give a crap about anyone but themselves which sadly can be said of many politicians. |

Plenty of time to reverse the decision.

I'll wager most of those signatories are either under-age anyway or else Eastern Europeans who are not eligible. I'd be amazed if there were anything close to 100k genuine, qualifying signers. Bet the bulk of them are Brits who are out of the country who are shocked at the result. Do I give a monkey's that they are shocked, assuming they are? No, but clearly if it is them, they are legally entitled to sign that petition. It's a bit like the lefties last year going: "But everyone I know on Twitter/Facebook voted for Ed!" Nothing like with a petition. Yes, the petition makes no sense, but I was just commenting on whether they were likely to be genuine, qualifying signers. |

That's a bit like saying if a man ran naked to from Norwich to the North pole would he deserve a dog biscuit? I'd say canonisation would be more appropriate as it would be a bloody miracle. Do you HONESTLY expect, with just about every region bar half a dozen in England and wales voting OUT, someone campaigning on an 'I'll keep us in' ticket would win? Its a UKIP landslide dear. They only need another 5-7% of the vote. -- It is hard to imagine a more stupid decision or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
