Put it this way: The risk of May not revoking Article 50 is very real.
May isn't the top most person, she holds a minority government which she doesn't even have control of.
It might boil down to no deal or revoking article 50, it'll all on the MPs then.
going to the march on saturday in London
never been to a protest in my life but fuck it
Me and my Dad are probably going up to London too. Last time I went to a protest it was for the uni fee increase and 2 people from my class threw a firework and bricks through a window and got arrested.
Hopefully it remains peaceful. The last thing we need right now is people getting angry and giving the opposition and the media something to feed upon.
if no deal brexit does go through, i will genuinely fear for my grandfather's life. please british friends, please don't do this. sit down and fucking think.
(also british posters are welcome to emigrate to ireland please we need the jobs)
I mean... it's not on us at this point, it's down to the utter lunatics in No. 10.
So we're fucked.
We're trying our best here, apparantly it takes more than 1 million people signing a government official petition though.
2 Million soon.
there needs to be a general strike in protest of no-deal tbh, so much of the country is gonna be directly shafted by it
I'm miffed I can't go down to London this sat, I hope some of the larger cities are holding smaller protests for ones unable to make it. If TM genuinely goes through with no deal there will honestly be hell to pay. The country will be in tatters.

Now MPs have to vote on her deal again next week, sure is a good thing that she didn't do anything to piss off her fellow MPs right?!

I mean, it's something. I guess. Even if May's deal is garbage It's probably better than nothing at all. Please just approve it.
How easy is it for a bot to sign the petition?
Even if the vast majority of signatures are genuine, which I believe so, I can see the opposition arguing that because at least 1 signature was from a bot somehow, that invalidates the whole results.
At least God is on their side...

And a thread clarifying:

As much as I would like it to happen I can't see them revoking it, but even if they mitigate it into Brexit light with us still in the customs union that would still put us in a far better place than May's deal or no may
So what would being in the customs union / single market entail? Things like no tariffs, driver's licence works in EU so lorry drivers can operate, no voting on EU legislation/MEPs, those sorts of things?
why are we only getting to this now.
The fact the EU had to get us here tells us a lot.
Is it gonna be this vote that the 2nd ref folk were saying they were holding on until? Bloody hope so, not as if we've much more chances
3.5 million now.
Oh, so, you know how May's Deal had to be voted on next week? Well...

wait the last 5 are basically the same, any participation in the customs union is defacto just their current position but slightly worse since they're willingly giving up the seats.
I'm loving how utterly incomprehensible things have become, in a morbid kind of way. Obviously its awful. But watching the government procrastinate for 2 years only to fall apart over the course of a couple weeks is quite fascinating.
the funniest part is that had she not called an election early and lost so badly she would have had a majority that could have pushed any deal through
