Brexit has well and truly begun!

[Mr Gray]

The Financial Services sector makes up 6.5% of the UK's total economic output. Why is it of sych interest to some?Perhaps because of it's London connection where 50% of the sector is based.

Will this be the most successful (in terms of signatories);HoC petition of all time?

I haven’t signed it as despite the fact that I think Brexit is a Very Bad Idea Indeed I think it has to happen come what May (scuse the pun) otherwise we’ll never hear the end of it.  Off the cliff we must go, and let’s just pray that Nigel and Jacob and Boris and Andrea were right and us democracy hating, metropolitan elitist Remoaners were wrong and that everything will be beautiful when we TBC .

Sorry but those names you have mentioned were very much part of my reasoning to vote to remain.
A ghastly shower in my opinion.

Yes, hopefully all will be as swimmingly wonderful as they predicted.

And the TBC will extend to  Scotland.

I've signed it too.

If there ever had been any sort of valid case for brexit how on earth could the British Government have made such an arrogant botch up of the negotiations for leaving?

As I watch things unravel around us I think we have a duty to the generations coming behind us to do what we can to extricate ourselves from this mess.

It was one thing for the Tories to split their party in two over Europe ... it is an entirely different issue to wreck the nation as part of their internecine squabble.

Close to 2.5 million signatures now.,,

There is a deal on the table which both Theresa May and the EU say is the only deal there is.  Our MP's have refused to accept it but have failed to offer an alternative they would accept. Unless and until they do that the stalemate will continue.

Revoking Article 50 may appeal to some as a practical solution but in my opinion that would make a mockery of democracy. A vote is a vote and a result is a result. If the House of Commons can accept a decision passed by a majority of four they cannot justify overturning the referendum result.
