Turnout was only 66% in Southwark - please sign this petition if you don't agree with the result


Recommended Posts

The prospect of Brexit is particularly frightening for those with children, worried about their future.

Please sign, sign, sign - together we can do something about this result and protect them from such massive uncertainty


It needs to be shared far and wide via email lists and so on, to reach the goal of over 17m - we're on 3m now

Regardless of how you voted in the EU referendum, this petition to overturn the vote is terrifying. Millions of people suggesting it's acceptable to vote and then for that vote not to matter. Do they even understand what they are suggesting? If this vote were to be overturned, any vote could be overturned. It would be setting a scary precedent. Voting itself would become totally pointless.

There seems to be a common feeling that those who voted Remain are somehow intellectually superior to those who didn't. This petition illustrates otherwise. This petition illustrates that some (many) people are willing to overturn democracy in order to have it their way. History shows this never goes well.

The Remain camp are talking about protecting the future for their children and how the Leave campaign has gone against this. Well whether this is the case or not, I would say this battle for democracy supersedes the import of the EU campaign significantly in its importance to ensure our children have a say in the future. A say that is heard that is.

    • Friend recommends Penge Cycle Club.  Southwark Cyclists usually do two social cycle rides on Saturday, you don't need to be a member (London Cycling Campaign) but recommended.  They are advertised on the What's On section of EDF. And you can go on their other Borough group rides, Lewisham Cyclists often do long rides. Generally very cycle friendly around here, despite occasional on line hostility.

    • Very much appreciated Macron’s comments yesterday on brexit   ””   given the lack of traffic on this thread I can’t help but feel it underlines his point     
    • This Italian restaurant at the Southbound Goose Green bus stop on Lordship Lane is excellent but doesn't seem to get much custom, especially at lunchtimes - a sad indictment of East Dulwich society.  If it were in Camberwell/Peckham (where I used to live) it would be rammed. If we don't want Lordship Lane full of chains, then good quality independent family places need custom.
