Vile Brexithugs force lady who started the online petition to cancel Brexit this week into hiding.

Red faced scummers subjected the lass to multiple death threats via telephone, and, the right wing thugs weapon of choice, a torrent of internet abuse.

The ugly face of Brexit and it's supporters.

Yes. This is the lady who threatened to shoot Theresa May and debated online how to make weapons before marching on parliament.

Those who live by the sword.....

He doesn't want a tory brexit. He wants a workers brexit. He thinks the EU is a capitalist club. In the 1975 European Communities referendum put forward by the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, Corbyn opposed Britain's membership of the EEC. Corbyn also opposed the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, saying: "... the whole basis of the Maastricht treaty is the establishment of a European central bank which is staffed by bankers, independent of national Governments and national economic policies, and whose sole policy is the maintenance of price stability. That will undermine any social objective that any Labour Government in the United Kingdom—or any other Government—would wish to carry out. ... The Maastricht treaty does not take us in the direction of the checks and balances contained in the American federal constitution. It takes us in the opposite direction of an unelected legislative body—the European Commission—and, in the case of foreign policy, a policy Commission that will be, in effect, imposing foreign policy on nation states that have fought for their own democratic accountability".

"We have a European bureaucracy totally unaccountable to anybody, powers have gone from national parliaments - they haven't gone to the European Parliament, they've gone to the Commission and to some extent the Council of Ministers. These are quite serious matters."

It's just like listening to Jacob Rees-Mogg.

The guy on the top right made babies with a German, and the guy on top left has probably tried with various nationalities? Joking aside, I wish people would stop embarrassing themselves with statements like these, doesn`t the guy get it that it was this type of mis-informed patronising nonsense that helped Leave secure their historic victory? The sad thing is that he probably doesn`t.....and maybe never will?

The very same woman who said she'd shoot the PM, your an idiot.

You might want to put an "allegedly" in that, as she denies she wrote this and said her account had been hacked. As has been reported in the news. Who knows.

In any case, none of the abuse or threats she has received were about this. It was about her creating the petition.

So are you denying that the threats were issued by the thugs?

Or just acting as an apologist for them?

Btw, calling someone an idiot carries more weight if you don't misspell your only sentence.

Yes, she does deny writing it, and it was deleted shortly after it was written, when she claimed she found her account was hacked, in January.

The only papers I can find still carrying this story are the Daily Mail and The Sun. And even The Sun is printing the rebuttal.

Responding to a comment about the post on her Facebook page, Ms Georgiadou denied the allegation, saying: "This is ridiculous. I have never threatened to kill anyone."

So back to what you think about the phone death threats and torrent of abuse and further threats she has received on social media for starting a petition that almost 5 million concerned people have signed. You think this is justified?

Welcome new poster!

Gosh there do seem to be a lot of people on the Right who all misspell "border" in the same way.

Must be a political thing.

Nah, it's the Maybot in action.

Sure. So... does 'Cheese mean cheese'?

'We voted for cheese!'

Ok. What sort? Cheddar?

'Cheese!'

Feta?

Parmesan?

'Cheese means cheese!'

Yes, but... halloumi?

'We want cheese!'

Brie?

'We voted for cheese!'

Do you want your cheese with a serving of backstop sir?:rotfl:

Backstop is a new kind of cheese?

At the time of writing the online petition to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU is at 4,696,495 signatories. An unprecedented number which along with today's march signals the seismic shift away from the nihilism of Brexit.

This is another body blow that May's teetering Brexit administration cannot survive. The government numbers its time in weeks. The schemes of the Brexiters in days.
