Mr Packham isMr Packham’s petition calls for the Government to hold a public inquiry into the impact ofMr Packham said: “What we were sold as part of the referendum campaign and what we got are entirely different. Outside of politics, such duplicity might be judged fraudulent.
The petition was only published on the UK Parliament website late on Friday 18 November. It reached 10,000 signatures on Sunday. By Monday morning, the figure was over 30,000. Mr Packham said: “I am obviously delighted at all the support the petition has so far attracted – but not surprised. It does feel as if Brexit opposition has really turned a corner in recent months, with demands to Rejoin the European Union getting louder, and more difficult for those at the top to dismiss. A public inquiry forcing them to be honest, face greater scrutiny and listen to the harm they’ve caused our country can only be a good thing.
