The petition to demand a second a referendum has now reached 2.8 million signatories. There’s an awful lot of people in this country who do not understand democracy; they can scream abuse at Boris and demonstrate in central London, write long anguished letters to the Grauniad and act like petulant children, but they still will not get their way. Twinkly, smiley Physics professor Brian Cox has asked (‘mischeviously’) what would happen if the petition reached 17 million. Well, Bri. Do the math. You’re supposed to be good at that. It still wouldn’t be enough, would it? Meanwhile David Lammy MP, who should know better, has insisted that Parliament take the fatuous petition seriously and debate the need for a second referendum. Ok, David. I have started a petition to get rid of David Lammy from Parliament on the website Change.org. Lammy’s majority in Tottenham is just below 24,000 – I’m sure we can easily get past that. And if we do, he must go, surely – by his own lights. No quibbles about whether or not we live in his benighted constituency or are eligible to vote, or have voted five times, or are five years old and having a temper strop on the kitchen floor. Lammy Out! My petition cites the following reason:
Mr Lammy has demonstrated that he does not understand democracy. He should be removed as MP for Tottenham and replaced by a set of plaster garden ornaments – an otter with a fish in its mouth, a heron and a gnome with a fishing rod.
Please do sign up.
