Rejected petition Invoke clause 61 of the Magna Carta, the right to lawful rebellion.

The government failed to deliver Brexit on March 29th, it failed to deliver on the vote of 17.4 million people, it has failed democracy, we should invoke clause 61 of the Magna Carta our bill of rights, which states when parliament fails to deliver, the people can lawfully storm parliament.

More details

Because the Magna Carta was not created by Parliament, no government can lawfully repeal any of the articles within it without public consent.
In 1297 Article 61 and anything that related to lawful rebellion was removed and establishment propagandists have since attempted to make it function as a replacement for the Magna Carta, but according to UK contract law, when new acts or charters conflict with existing ones and their existing articles, these new acts and charters then become unlawful.
