Petition to revoke article 50 (Brexit) exceeds 1m signatures amid site crashe [View all]
Source: The Guardian
More than a million people have signed a plea for article 50 to be revoked. The list of names grew so rapidly on Thursday that the parliamentary petition website crashed several times.
The petition began gaining signatures on Wednesday evening after Theresa May criticised MPs for not approving her Brexit deal. When the site first crashed on Thursday the petition had received almost 600,000 signatures and was growing at a rate of 1,500 a minute.

By 3pm the petition had its millionth signature. Ironically, the milestone was delayed as the weight of users checking for updates again forced the site briefly offline.
The petition calls on the government to revoke article 50 and keep Britain in the EU. It states: “The government repeatedly claims exiting the EU is the will of the people. We need to put a stop to this claim by proving the strength of public support now for remaining in the EU. A people’s vote may not happen, so vote now.”

It would be wonderful if Britain's future were restored to hope at the 11th hour and 59th minute.
Better, of course, if it had never been plunged into doubt by antediluvian nationalist folly in the first place...
hopefully,
