Re: Petition to revoke Article 50 ...

If she wants to go by “the will of the people” it was the will of the people at the last general election that the tories did not have a majority. I don’t think anyone voted for a coalition with the DUP.

Re: Ageism.

The fact remains that the older you are, the less likely you are to see the consequences of your decisions It makes no difference if they are the right or wrong decisions ,it is your descendants who will have to live with them.
