More than 800,000 people sign petition to stop Brexit

While it's up for debate whether the British government is completely broken, Parliament's website most definitely is.

A petition calling for Prime Minister Theresa May to remain in Europe gained fresh momentum today as thousands of exasperated, angry and seemingly embarrassed Brits took to the website in an attempt to stop Brexit from happening.

As of this morning the petition had racked up more than 800,000 signatures and had caused parliament's website to crash due to the sheer volume of people attempting to add their names.

By lunchtime yesterday in Britain, Revoke Article 50 was trending worldwide on Twitter with over 100,000 tweets.
