Your 4 signatures has got some way to go to beat the second referendum petition.


Over 90,000 at present.

And then there was the one of over a million handed in before Christmas.

We live in a truly bonkers time when a government cannot agree on diddly squat and all the while our country is going down the pan socially, economically and on the global stage. Let’s not forget also business’ who are crapping themselves trying to plan for something that is unknown. Bonkers just bonkers! The people in power pushing for an exit cannot agree with moderates in the same party on what and still bung money to a minority party to prop themselves up. Like I say something is going to give and someone is gonna get thrown under the bus.

Honesty I speak to lots of friends from all walks of life and economic backgrounds but I have yet to meet anyone who didn’t vote brexit. The people I least expect to see.
That's the exact opposite to my experiences. But I live in a strong remain constituency. Most of my company's business is with the US and China so in theory it will have little effect unless Liam Fox delivers on his promises and we get free trade with them. Except of course we buy a lot of our components from Europe, which is looking increasingly likely to have tariffs added.

My company employs a lot of foreign nationals, mostly European. These highly skilled people are fully conversant with European, US and Chinese (lol) manufacturing regulations, and they are leaving. We can't recruit anyone from the UK due to the short-sightedness of the UK education system.

We will be OK. I can't say the same for those companies that sell primarily into Europe.

It’s been mental at campaign HQ, with a huge surge in signatures overnight.

A 400% increase makes us one of the fastest growing movements on the planet.

I am delighted to announce that all “Musketeer” spots have been filled, Names to be allocated shortly.

Next milestone, and at this rapid rate of signups, it won’t be long until we reach it will be “Magnificent Seven” positions.

All current Musketeers will have their status automatically converted.

I will of course be Yul Bruner as my hairstyle perfectly qualifies me for the role.

Our theme tune will of course be this.... “on a steel horse we’ll ride (V8 Massers) wanted dead or alive”

So cmon, channel your inner Bronson and signup today.

Lots of why's are starting to arise for me these days. Why is there a govt, politicians, democracy. Why are there Police, councils...I could go on.. I don't see any of these people or organisations doing the best that they can. I'm not talking about individuals as these individuals in the police, hospitals etc. do a fantastic job in the main. It is the organisations as a whole at the top running it badly and innefficiently.

I just feel a bit let down by many situations these days and it is hard to keep toing the line and supporting stuff you don't believe in or get on board with. Also to keep throwing lots of taxes supporting waste and inneffiency.

I'm sure many of us would be better on our own, in a field in middle of nowhere growing our own food and fending for ourselves. With no taxes and/or support for the idiots running the country.

Seems extreme but I'm getting a bit fed up with it all if I'm honest.

When you have someone who was running the country who forgets they have left one of their kids in a pub it is all a bit cr4pother.

Is this really the very best we can do Britain?
Here's another example of honesty at the top......
Geoffrey Cox has been forced to apologise for failing to declare thousands of pounds of rent on his flat a few miles from Westminster which he vacated when he entered the Cabinet last year.
The Attorney General admitted to Commons authorities that he had not registered rent from tenants in the flat that he owns with his wife Jeanie for six months between August and January this year.


Another Cox up.

I voted to stay, like most of Scotland however I’m now utterly ****** off with the wan*ers in Westminster and from a business perspective, just looking for stability and not uncertainty. I’ve reached the stage where I’d be happy with the deal on the table or no deal provided it happens this month, so we can call get on with our lives. I know that no deal is off the table and actually I think this might have turned the tables and there is chance of the deal going through.

We will see.

Either way, the whole debacle has caused such damage that the vast majority of MPs should stand aside and apologise.

Unfortunately the deal on the table is ONLY our withdrawal agreement.

If it’s spproved we then have to negotiate our future deal with the E.U. with both hands tied behind our back......well done Mrs May...... over the next undefined period of years without being able to walk away.

No new PM will have any power whatsoever!

27 countries are drawing up their wish lists as I type.

Well, that's a **** argument. Germany has historically felt geopolitically sandwiched between the French and the Russians. A strong union between DE and FR is arguably central to peace in Europe and no repeat of the disasters of the first half of the 20th century. That the EU morphed into something with a more expansive remit is another topic.
