Just to show some support to UK (and Irish) farmers I have done it. It is too easy. As a trial to see if it worked, and in case I wanted to do it in future, I did not use my correct name or email address. So go for it with as much time as you have spare.

Fair idea that that is how the 6m+ signatures were reached on the petition a couple of weeks back.

It’s not a government petition, so doesn’t have the same checks and balances as they do. But yes, some of the 6M that signed last month will not have been genuine - but very few and it still shows a great level of public feeling.

If you want, and think it’s that easy to misrepresent public opinion, why not get on and sign this one another five million times?

 

[Brisel]

Over 30,000 signatures so far, including mine.

You can also leave your reason for signing, like this chap did so succinctly.....

I'm told that with the art 50 petition you could only sign by responding to an email, so the address had to be one you could access. I don't know as I wasn't interested in any of that crap.

The Packham one seems more open, but I'm happy for him to get the boot regardless.

I lack both the time and the interest. I was merely trying to support what appears to be a vast majority of TFF members who would like to see the back of him.

You seem a very knowledeable technical person. I have a website that was subject to a lot of "hits" last month, all from three towns in USA and all with different email addresses. It never reached 100 in a single day, but then I am not important. Rumour has it that Google does it, but it does show that such things are possible.

See my response above to Highland Mule. Did they also confirm that the signature was from a UK eligible voter by checking against the Register of Electors? I will answer that for you, of course they did not. Everything in this world is open to abuse by those who have the ability, particularly when it involves current communications systems.

I think we would flatter ourselves to think that many outside the UK actually care.

The systems prevent automated voting, but obviously can’t prevent someone voting two or three or a few more times. Nobody has the time or inclination to vote a million times though. That’s why the number doesn’t so much represent the discrete people but the level of sentiment. I have no doubt that fewer than the reported 6M+ people actioned a signature on the Art 50 petition, but it would be more than for any other petition up to then.

As for your own website, I have no specific insight, but do know that google and other automated bots will trawl the internet looking for content to index/ archive.

it needs to be a valid email address to be counted as you need to verify the email they send you

Seems like we have to pay to get rid of him.

I’m not entirely sure that it’s legal to crowd fund a ‘hit’.

It would have to be anonymous donations only....

[Princess Pooper]

nearly 50,000 now,. keep going folks.

 

[kfpben]

Over 50,000. 100,000 may, just may make the Beeb at least give him a bollocking.

If it doesn’t I think we should organise a mass rural non payment of TV licence. See if those vans really exist....

 

[principal skinner]

Also worth writing to the BBC with a formal complaint about the mans behaviour and use of the BBC as a platform for his own personal agenda, I have and the more the merrier, at least he may have to have a very different conversation with the bosses.

 

[MrNoo]

The BBC dont actually employ him, he is sub contracted to them apparently as a very good friend had contacted them re him and that was what he was told today, just another load of bulls**t from the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation
