A parliamentary petition against the Queen's proclamation and Johnson's govt already passing the 1M mark inside a few hours. What I find amazing is that on a Sb board like this one there are so many people who, like myself, are interested in their football teams etc, and yet this is IMO far more important to their country and its future than 11 f###### players making a lotta money (in some cases) and kicking a football around on a footie pitch!! Yet comments from relatively few Sb members!!!??? GET OFF YER ERSES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or is it indeed a case of "burying heads in the sand" and maybe this crisis/nightmare will go away!!!?? THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS!! BELIEVE IT!! Some of you must have kids, grand kids, family ehhhhhh!!! THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED AND BE AFRAID!!
Sorry 0762, you have no right to accuse anyone on here of “burying heads in the sand” just because they do not comment regarding Brexit!!! For starters I am sure there are some who voted for Brexit and still hold that view for their own reasons, as there are on every street in the UK, and secondly not everyone wants to put their political views on social media, nor should they have to.
Its great that the other political parties have called for protest and called for working together finally, but where the hell have they been through this whole debacle?? Labour sat on the fence for most of it and the others seemed to take the attitude that it wouldn’t happen anyway. One million signatures won’t change anything and neither will a few million marching to bring down the Government. This government doesn’t care what the people may want now, they got their victory in 2016 and they are sticking to it. Only the legal avenues or parliament themselves can stop this and I am not sure they have either the time or support to do so.
As for me, nowt I can do to affect this one way or the other, besides I have enough issues with what is going on over here to deal with!!!
