I watched a police programme last night , a young 18 year old stabbed and died , all because of a "look" between him and another , the young 18 year old carried a knife for protection , he showed it to the other lad who then got a gang to get him.
How very sad
I dont know what can be done i think its all gone too far
I really don't mind if all knife carriers kill each other, be it in gangs or otherwise. It is their choice to carry knives.
It’s possible that people who thought they were signing multiple times missed the fact that they needed to get an email and click on the link to get your signature added.
Update: the House of Commons have now told us that two people can in fact sign from the same email address, although we still can’t replicate this in tests.
A spokesman said: “Many people share an email account with a partner or do not have access to email. To ensure that the petitions system is as accessible as possible, up to two people can sign from the same email address. An email address can only be used twice.
“The number of these signatures is strictly monitored to ensure that this feature is not abused. The number of these signatures on the article 50 petition is within the normal range – around 1 per cent.”
Obscure island territories are showing handfuls of signatures, and the countries with the most are ones with large British expat populations like France, Spain, Germany and the US.
How many of the signatures were made by computers overseas? Only 3.8 per cent, according to the latest data on the petitions site (the numbers are being updated all the time, so you may get a different result if you run the calculation yourself after reading this).
So at the moment, it doesn’t look like enough signatures are coming from overseas to skew the results significantly.
The alarmist headline Express says:
Brexit petition CON! Thousands of signatures in Revoke Article 50 petition are OUTSIDE UK
All signatories are required to tick a box confirming they are a British citizen or UK resident and must provide a name, email address, country and postcode.
However, the rest were signatories from around the world, including at least 10,500 from France, about 5,000 from Germany and almost 4,000 from the United States, recorded this morning.
not surprisingly .....
There were also 28 names from Russia, 71 from China, five from the Vatican, three from Cuba, and one apiece from North Korea and Mongolia.
Given that UK citizens live all over the world, that's a surprisingly low figure .....
Actually, whatever the truth is regarding illegal signatories, it really doesn't matter as our wonderful politicians won't do anything more than talk about it!

That's right. They can't agree on something as pressing as (the B word) so there's no way they could ever agree on something like this. They would all just blame each other, shout at each other and mock each other as usual. We should drop the lot of 'em into an acid bath and start again.
