It’s an internet poll with many people signing from other countries. Total BS.
“It’s an internet poll with many people signing from other countries. Total BS.”
These numbers are WAY too large to assemble in a matter of a single day.
Even for an online petition with the full backing of the BBC to direct people to it, require their signature and move along.
I wouldn’t worry about the whole “online / most people signed from other countries”. I’m going with “The whole thing is a damned lie”
I signed the petition five times.
(just kidding)
It’s not really ‘internal’. I pulled up the petition and found that I could click on it as well. There is a block where you have to note that you are a citizen of the UK, but how they prove or disprove that....is a remarkable and humorous matter (it’s not existent). So 1,000 votes from China is a possibility...or even ten votes from Austin.
I think the new wording now is that they want the minimum to leave the EU to be set at 60-percent in favor, which they know that the leave-crowd can’t get past the 56-percentage point.
I saw one little news snippet that stated that 39,000 signatures came from Vatican City (population ~800). So this petition is likely pure bogus.
