Anyway, just wanted to say keep up the good work.

See, you can delete those petitions, so he's either stupid or lying.

You can?

Is there nothing that prevents that once they get a certain number of signatories? I'd have thought there would be.

If he wrote it, I'd be very surprised if he couldn't get rid of it again.

Once people have signed it though, it's no longer really 'his'. It'd be like letting thread starters delete a whole thread on here.

I read just now that maybe DC has done in BoJo,Gove et al by saying Art 50 would fire the day after. He didn't and resigned, leaving that huge responsibility hanging over the next leader. If they do, they are toast, if they don't, they are toast.

From the guardians comments section:

If Boris Johnson looked downbeat yesterday, that is because he realises that he has lost.

Further down that piece

"Yes, the Government will be able to take back democratic control of immigration policy, with a balanced and humane points-based system to suit the needs of business and industry. "

He actually thinks the EU is going to allow Brits freedom of movement without demanding reciprocity.

So....it's likely to be the same as it was, but with none of the advantages?

I've figured out who we can blame for this, someone all parties can happily get behind and lambast, Ed Milliband. If he hadn't screwed over David, labour wouldn't be in this mess, they may even have won the last GE. It is all Miliband s fault.

Basically, Johnson's position is that we can now negotiate a better deal with Europe than we've ever had. Because all our previous negotiators were idiots, presumably.

But I at least think she had a strong moral compass and did what she believed was right. Not something I think about Boris et al.

Basically, Johnson's position is that we can now negotiate a better deal with Europe than we've ever had. Because all our previous negotiators were idiots, presumably.

Or because we've never been able to seriously threaten to leave before?

I'm not sure if that'll make a blind bit of difference (or even make it worse), but I figure that's what he's talking about.

I am finding the whole Brexit result all very difficult. More so than I should, really.

I've just stripped down my Facebook connections.

I've pared off anyone who has shared anything from Britain First, UKIP, or any other hilarious 'memes' about getting the country back, floods of immigrants, yaddayaddashutup. This was mostly work colleagues, but also my sister. I am finding the whole Brexit result all very difficult. More so than I should, really.

I'm the same Mimi, I feel as though my political heart has been ripped from my chest. I never thought I could be laid so low.

I'm taking no pleasure in it at all. As much as I disagree with you on many things I know you didn't want any of this. My anger is reserved purely for Cameron for allowing it and the Leave brigade for making it happen.

The Polish centre in Hammersmith -- which was built to commemorate the many Polish soldiers who fought and died in the British army in WW2 -- was defaced with racist graffiti over the weekend. Heartbreaking.
