Just 6 funny tweets about the Article 50 petition site crashing while you wait for it to stop crashing
So many people are trying to sign the petition to revoke Article 50 that the government’s petitions website keeps crashing. If you are having problems, you are not alone.
I signed the petition but it went to 502 (bad gateway). Gather that means it’s still down?

While you wait for it to reload, or if you’ve already signed and you’re trying to find something – anything! – to do other than go back to the site to see the latest total, thereby crashing it again, these 6 tweets might help.

Love that the government is so incompetent they've made a website that's too shit to cope with all the people they've angered through incompetence

Stop watching the signatures go up! You are the spectators at the Battle of Watling Street who unwittingly prevented Boudica’s retreat by blocking the way! https://t.co/7Fpv110gLj

502 – Bad Gateway – the petition has gained sentience and is commenting on May’s plan.

Anyway, the correct response to the petition website crashing is not “dark forces” but “we are about to enter a completely new and extremely challenging situation with a government that can’t design a website that doesn’t crash”.

.@theresa_may @Conservatives Get the fucking petition back up so people can yell at you. You are bad at your job and people need to yell at you.

If you haven’t already signed the petition (and you want to …)
If you've tried to sign the petition and discovered that the site has crashed (or whatever), GO BACK LATER AND SIGN IT. If it's still down, demand to know why. Don't be silenced. https://t.co/7x40Md1mJf
