Fake of the Kremlin media: in Britain they plan a referendum on the abolition of anti -Russian sanctions

Such a petition really is on the website of the British Parliament in the section "Petition", at the moment it was signed by about 12 thousand people. That's just, although only citizens of Great Britain should formally sign it, there is no verification on the site. It is enough to put a box in the line “I am a citizen or resident of Great Britain” and verify your email. Thus, this mechanism is in no way protected from wrappers of votes.

You can also see data on countries that were noted by those who signed the petition. Although most of them indicated different British settlements (however, for this, any index operating in the country can be introduced), many “British” indicated a variety of countries of residence-for example, Burundi, cat-d'Ivoire, Russia and the Vatican.

Anyone can also place a petition on the parliament website. It will be published if at least five people support it. In this case, Anthony Webber acted as the author of the petition. He calls himself a political commentator, regularly gives an interview with RT and “Live Nightingale” , repeating the main theses of Kremlin propaganda: the West allegedly lost, supporting Ukraine and imposing sanctions against Russia, the British economy on the verge of collapse, Zelevsky - US puppet, etc. He actively writes the same on Twitter. By the way, a funny detail: Webber's petition about the abolition of anti-Russian sanctions actively promoted the Telegram channels of the Wagner PMC.

Judging by the biography of Webber, the take -off of his career came in 1991 - 2004, when he was a deputy of the Gernsy Parliament - these are several Norman islands, controlled by the British crown, which are not part of the UK. After that, Webber was remembered by the fact that he campaigned for Brexit, and also created a small organization called “National Alliance”, which opposed the mask regime and vaccination during the Covid-19 pandemic period. Apparently, the movement was not popular: its site does not work, on Twitter - only 72 readers.

It should be noted that, indeed, the government should answer any petition on the website of the British Parliament, which gained more than 10 thousand votes. However, TASS and Rossiyskaya Gazeta mistakenly argue that if the number of votes exceeds 100 thousand, the possibility of such a referendum will be discussed in parliament. In fact, in this case, the petition will only be “considered for discussion”. And given that its text is formulated in the best traditions of Russian propaganda, there is no doubt that the British deputies simply ignore it.
