    Please explain your problem with the logic?

    Yep that's it - not my fault this is an online only petition

    Maybe the snowflakes who started it should have understood not everyone has an iPhone but because that would require thinking about something other than themselves for a few minutes it was never going to happen.

    Route revealed for pro-Brexit go-slow lorry protest across Yorkshire

    It is Doncaster though.
    Largely driving on the M18, a motorway connecting Sheffield and Goole, with short sections of the M1 and A1 being used. Good job they are not going to be protesting driving on roads actually used by anyone.

    No so when you vote you need to make a decision either yes or no and your vote only counts if you cast it.

    On another note - when this only reaches say 3 million signatures - so clearly not a majority can we put the whole fooking thing to bed and leave?
