There's a lot of distorted facts here, but the weirdest one to me is "instead of regrouping their efforts (which, I might add, they did, and they got their day in parliament)". The first half just contradicts itself ("instead of doing X, which they did, ..."???) and the second half ("they got their day in parliament") is verifiably, obviously false: The EU petition is still ongoing and collecting signatures. The deadline is July 31.
At first, they did not regroup, they just started attacking this guy.
Eventually, they did get their shit together and they HAVE REACHED enough signatures.
So now that they are winning, why does PS matter at all anymore? Why has this annoyance turned into an online crusade that I have to constantly hear about? I do not give a shit about these gripes with this guy, and considering that he was ultimately irrelevant to SKG, I’m not sure why they care so much either
