Bollocks to Brexit

It may just be the mail backlog. They are using amazon now. If they weren't earlier, then several million emails may have been delivered in the last hour. Clicking those links is easy and with presumably less server load. That might explain what you are seeing.

Edit: 80% and 1.5M!

It ticked over 2 million just now...

Do you think it's real? That's an extraordinary number.

I could in a few hours create a bot that could vote on petitions. You'd need thousands of domains for valid email addresses that wouldn't be automatically assumed to be fake, and (preferably) the electoral roll, to use real names and postcodes. I could set this up for way less than £2000.

Remain is going to have the best IT skills. That would explain the 84% vs 16%.

The largest Parliamentary petition ever got over 4m votes, That was on the EU referendum rules back in 2016.

All the news outlets are covering it, I've had two facebook friends seperately put up the link this afternoon and fora are talking about it, so I can understand how this has spread. Six months ago it might have got 200,000 perhaps, but everyone is really paying attention right now.

[Joan]

So, what, we have two more weeks?

Ugh. Anyone want to sponsor my bot army?

Looking at the current polls, I am guessing most leavers don't have the internet at home.

Quicker than that, I think. I just looked at it was around 3,600/sec (I think they may have beefed up the servers). I think they will get there later today.

I still haven't got an email.

It's going up and down on my phone. Was 2.5 ten minutes ago. Now it's 2.4.

3 mill by lunchtime, its looking like that record might be beaten

And we are there.

It was reporting 7,800/sec!

Remainers need to be brave about FB and share the petition. One of the tactics of brexit has been to bully and shout down those, who it is now becoming clear to everyone, had valid concerns.

You could argue that about other forms of social media, too. There are a number of colleagues here who have been sanctioned on other platforms for calling out Leaver propagated lies. But, I agree, Remainers need to continue with the argument.

3,271,300 signatures when I just clicked the button. Looking forward to the march tomorrow, I need the exercise! :-)
