Well, Foxy said that quite a few of those same from North Korea, which is either hackers or the Norks being their usual mental selves - either way those can be discounted. Regardless the fraud has been found out, which is good.


However, I'm struggling to see where anyone insinuated racism on your part? I've certainly pointed out issues regarding how my wife feels now, and my feelings about how some demographics have acted with their votes, and I stand by those, but I don't believe I accused you of racism (certainly apologise if you thought I meant that).

I signed this in protest but it won't lead to a 2nd referendum. I'm so sick of hearing about 'Britain's decision' and don't want the >14m who voted Remain to be forgotten when article 50 negotiations begin. There's a slim chance we won't find someone with the balls to invoke it or that our MPs won't pass the necessary bill I suppose. Fundamentally I think we need to respect the outcome and accept there's a huge disconnect between london, m4 corridor and the rest of the country. 17m can't all be thick and there seem to various reasons why they voted leave; many will believe they did the right thing for democracy and sovereignty but many are misguided, misinformed and some downright dispicable.

The epetition captures the country of origin and mp where a postcode is provided. You can download the data and see. This is what they mean by 'fraudulent', it hasn't been hacked. I don't think it says anywhere that it's for uk residents only and it doesn't block overseas IP addresses (presumably because we have residents overseas). These people probably think they are helping.

It's nearly 4 M now - how funny it was started by an out campaigner when they thought remain were winning. I've signed and most of my remain (UK voters) friends have now voted and one who voted out and regrets his vote. It is also funny how the out voters who 'won' are now getting flouncy about people like me having my democratic right to sign a petition and voice my opinion.

You're not very informed Fox.

So if you were aware of the fraud being discovered what exactly is the point you are making? You said anyone could sign it and it was meaningless. But fraudulent votes are being discounted. Which means what? It's meaningful?

Aw c'mon - best of 3?


...damn - best of 5? - come on it's only fair!


Alright, let's call it a draw and stay as we are!


Put's me in mind of the classic Monty Python King of Britain v The Black Knight (of the European Empire?) fight:




Always worth a watch - even if just to cheer you up...

Alan.. I do not want to dwell on the matter.


The point is that it was pointed out by people in a higher status than myself that there was scope for fraud.

It was investigated and 77,000 votes (so Far) were found to be fraudulant.


As I understand it. David Cameron has stated .. the vote was clear.. he resigned on the stregnth of that and has said there is no chance of a second referendum. I do not think he would of resigned if there was the slightest chance the decision could be reversed.


The Tories will have a leadership challenge .. I think labour might do the same... There will probably be the need

for a General Election and hopfully people will accept the outcome of the Election.


Elections are not a simple Yes/No In/Out situation with more than 2 options and there needs to be a sizable Majority.

So there may be another Coillition but I dont think so.

Someone asked this one Question Time on Sunday, but Dimblebot didn't put it to the panel...


What happens if there is a General Election and the winning party has a manifesto promise of staying in the EU. Does that effectively quash the referendum result?

Which is less than 2% of the 4m+ that have signed.

It couldn't be reversed by him and he knew that. If he said "we've had a vote but I'm ignoring it" he'd be absolutely slaughtered. But he knows that if someone else is elected off the back of a pro remain campaign, they could well ignore it.


But I can't see anyone in the tory party ignoring it. And I can't see Labour getting anyone elected, so it's all just what ifs.

What Otta said above.


Even the most fervent in the remain set of the Tories will not be able to back ignoring this referendum result. It's quite clear that the people have spoken. The only ones who can really take a punt are those with little to lose, such as the Lib Dems. But let's face it, with 8 MP's, can't see them doing much.

Not that I think there will be another referendum, but I do wonder who is going to push the Article 50 button. The referendum as I'm sure has been said before is 'advisory'. It strikes me that pushing it or refusing to will require an equal amount of courage or stupidity depending on your viewpoint.I sincerely hope there is a way of bypassing the referendum result that doesn't leave the populous more divided than they are now.

This petition now has more than 4 million signatures. I hope people are continuing to share it.


As I said before, I didn't sign because I want a second referendum that simply repeats the first, but because I'm keen to remind those in power that the country remains deeply divided on this important issue. This will effect the complex decisions they take in the weeks to come.


I do not believe that referenda are a constructive way of making major policy decisions. This particularly applies when they are hi-jacked as vehicles to win power for people like Boris Johnson. I do not believe that this man is merely an amusing, straight-talking buffoon, with an engaging ability to spout gobbets of ancient history. He has the capacity to be the least competent, and most dangerous, person to lead this country in living memory.

    • FredMarsh, I sympathise with you. I suspect the coral fencing at the entrance is to prevent people legging it out of store with unpaid for goods in hand. It does feel a bit like herding cattle as you describe it. Perhaps the reduction in customers is a response to this and the lack of previously available services.  I find self check out is quicker if I do it myself and since the new self service points have been installed the screens work much better as they are as of today still newish. The old ones were "knackered" and continued to regularly fail.  I had to buy some whisky as a present for someone yesterday, the Sainsbury staff took it away, removed the security tags and returned it, so that all went simply.  Unfortunately the days of what was the original Sainsburys in Peckham and Forest Hill are long gone, as are many of the old shops I remember from the mid 70's, i.e. Kennedy's. The world continually changes and as we get older we have to keep up.  I saw something really sad in Peckham yesterday, a very, very old woman walking down Hanover Park by Primark on the corner with Rye Lane, bent almost half over, pushing her own four wheel trolley along, taking her time.  Made me  realise how lucky I am.   Yes, checking the receipt to make sure Nectar has been applied is always worth doing. Ditto Tesco Old Kent Road this week were what the label of the stack of fruit said one price and even with the Tesco card, the price at checkout was different, that resulted in photo's and it still being checked by Customer Service...... As for "Sainsburys always being horrible", I have to disagree with you on that. 
    • One Dulwich   Campaign Update | 3 May Parliament debates LTNs – please fill in the questionnaire by 6 May Parliament will debate two petitions – “Carry out an independent review into Low Traffic Neighbourhoods” and “Exempt Blue Badge drivers from Low Traffic Neighbourhoods” – at 4.30 pm on Monday 20 May in the Grand Committee Room above Westminster Hall. Please fill in this short questionnaire about your experience of the Dulwich LTNs, as your comments will help to inform the debate. The deadline for this is very soon – 10am on Monday 6 May. We have written to our MP Helen Hayes, pointing out that her constituents represent the second highest number of those who requested both petitions, and asking her to take part in the debate in order to represent the two-thirds majority of people living and working in Dulwich who asked for the Dulwich LTNs to be reconsidered. Because these petitions are directed at Parliament, not Southwark Council, we hope that Helen Hayes will speak up for her constituents on this occasion. You might want to encourage her to take part by emailing her at [email protected]. We have also reminded her that a group of Blue Badge holders have petitioned the Leader of Southwark Council to be allowed through the Dulwich Village junction because of the daily difficulties, distress and – in some cases – severe pain suffered by disabled and other vulnerable car-dependent constituents who are now forced to take long and circuitous detours in stop-start traffic along boundary roads. You can watch the debate – and, we hope, our MP representing our interests – on Parliament tv, or you can attend in person. Thank you for your support. The One Dulwich Team  SUPPORT ONE DULWICH 
    • Yeah, that’s not my point. I explained that the locale is in unpleasant and uncared for, not the businesses (which I called “valiant” so you could deduce I was not against them at all but maybe you didn’t see that.  I think they need support from the council in the shape of a sprucing up).
