The map of counties that have signed looks very odd.

I sense foul play with it, if all you need is a UK address and an email address to verify.
Is it Russian interference ?

I suspect that there's probably a small percentage of foul play (as there would be with most high profile petitions of this nature) but not widespread.


I was about to say that i'm fairly sure they would have mechanisms in place to detect abuse but really, who knows !! :)

Well from what I saw in the claim, various folk in Russia, have actually signed it. Many in Saudi Arabia.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Kremlin had funded the march as well as influenced the petition.

You actually see a breakdown by country in the JSON code it's sending down to the map.

UK: 804,469
USA: 2,408
Russia: 15

at the time of writing the total signed is: 838,456 so 33,987 have signed it from outside the UK, or 4%.

Let's not forget how clever these Russian hackers are at manipulating figures to make themselves look innocent.

Leader of the house says if petition reaches 17 million someone may take notice.

Oh yes the one started by a leaver who thought the referendum would go the other way and couldn't accept the result, much like uncle Nigel who thought it reasonable to go again if it finished 48-52
