Are bots gaming the 'Cancel Brexit' petition?

Leavers on here have already said they have "tested" how robust it was

If you prove its flawed how does that make it more influential? - I would suggest that the more examples of it being gamed would simply make it more pointless.

Do you take it seriously?

Juncker takes it seriously, and was influenced by how big it was, whether I do is irrelevant

I believe that the necessary 100,000 signed it legitimately

And it will get debated on April 1st in line with the rules of the game.

As for Juncker he will take anything that supports stopping Brexit - but as we are here now because we didnt want to be ruled by Juncker his opinion aint worth sh*t.

Far better to attack the source when you can't refute what they say.

I'm saying I take it with a sack full of salt. Can you prove these alleged 800 Idi Amin signatures. If so i'll  concede there has been some abuse, however the signatures are vetted as was demonstrated when several thousand were removed from the 2016 referendum result petition.

Before lunchtime or they are the fools?

Yeah that was quite something in his speech where he was referencing that, and the people on the march. Conveniently forgetting that many more people legitimately and democratically voted for something different in the referendum. I thought that was appalling for a top civil servant to stoop so low and undermine actual process.

I'm still impressed that after all these years that Gmail has been accepting new accounts, nobody (until last week), had registered that email address before so it was free to be used to sign a fake name on a petition.

You don't even need to create new email addresses.  You just need one and can use it multiple times by using this trick:

Gmail ignores anything after the plus sign so you can use that to put a website name in so that if there is a data breach, you know which company lost your data.
