Yes mate it was very hard I signed it as John from United States lol with no post code, all you need is a email address they send you a email and you click on the link
No mate all I’ve seen on fb is the link shared and people from Japan USA all over signing it when I would guess most don’t care, so getting 2 million people signing a petition means very little, on many of the posts there saying let’s make this the biggest petition ever so anyone and everyone is doing it

The only weapon the normal man in the street has is their vote. Most of the time this can be seen to have little or no effect.For the first time in my life after casting a vote I couldn't believe my ears when I woke up and heard that we won the referendum. For me this vote was about much more than just the EU. It was about about everything that has been forced upon us without ever being asked, and the things yet to come in the master plan run by the faceless unelected ones who are running the show. I don't want the Euro replacing the Pound, I don't want a Pan European army. I was never asked about forced multiculturalism, freedom of movement, mass immigration, human rights courts, gay rights etc. All this has been forced upon us without asking. I know many of you will sneer at my comments and call me racist etc, but actually i'm not, i'm just an ordinary bloke in the street and I think you'll find that my views are more common than you may wish to admit. So when I see MP's trying to do their best to sabotage the outcome of the only real meaningful vote I have cast in my life it makes me very, very angry. I will never vote for a mainstream party ever again because it would appear that they are all liars. I think many, many people will also take the same opinion and either not bother to vote, or vote for more extreme parties and this will all be the responsibility of all who have tried to sabotage Brexit. Was it so bad to try and create our own laws, control our borders and try to forge trade deals with the rest of the world?

ALActually I sympathize with and understand much of what you have said. The world is changing at breakneck speed, econicalky, technically and culturally. I understand that some people wish for a day when they felt more in control. The problem is that you very understandable wish was weaponised by a bunch of the most unscrupulous politicians you will ever see, and used as part of their war to control the right wing of politics. You don't believe me?You know when Boris Johnson came out all guns blazing for Leave? Thumping the table and shouting Take Back Control?You know before he did that, he'd written an equally strident speech in favour of Remain? He'd spent two weeks debating whether supporting Leave or Remain would be best for his career. You've been played mate. They've taken your grievances and used them to make you vote for something that will make your kids worse off.

Nice one.

But you still decided to give them more of the power you think they're abusing.

All I have is one vote which I have used.Whatever the outcome of this, half the country is going to be pissed off. I suppose we could cut the country in half and all the remainers live in one half and brexiters in the other half which leaves the EU. It would probably be easier to sort than what has gone before.On a separate note, am I correct in believing that after 2022 all EU members have to join the Euro currency?

It's a bit like being on a hamster wheel isn't it? Same facts pointed out over and over and over again, then ignored. AL.I'll say it again. Nigel Farage and many others said repeatedly during the 2016 campaign that we should look at the relationship Norway had with the EU.I'd accept that as a compromise. It's not what I want but I would accept it. It would mean us leaving the EU. It would honour the 2016 result.Would you accept that deal?
