Signatures to the petition aren't verified as being British citizens and it doesn't prevent multiple voting. This has been demonstrated by newspapers.
Analysis has already shown a large number of signatures from outside the UK, including North Korea and Russia.
I know I got up to a lot in my youth. I've also heard the stories from my father and his friends. The main difference now is that it's all recorded and then either published online on social media or (rarely!) just shared privately.
If anything kids are far more restrained now: they know they're being watched.
There are two key differences between typical US towns and those in European countries:
1) The US tend to have far fewer but larger schools.
2) Housing is far more spread out in the US and the areas were built from scratch long after travel by car became the norm. They're just not designed for walking.
In the UK at least, most housing areas are designed to support walking with smaller schools spread out to improve locality.
I've got 4 primary schools within 15 mins walk from my house - the nearest is less than 2 mins walk away. The nearest high school is less than 20 mins walk and the route only involves 30mph limit residential roads.
This just doesn't happen in US towns.
Who cares about the European Parliament? They have about as much power as a dead haddock.
The question is... Why is this change being pushed so hard now, although they have their "poll" almost zero publicity?
You might have noticed that the EU has many massively more critical problems on its plate at the moment!
Another solution is to use GMT all year but change work patterns by an hour. Lots of places have flexible or extended hours anyway: 9-5 is pretty rare.

I think you're missing my point. So you accept their are clear signs both of foreign interference and that the signatures aren't being validated.
Also some lovely information about the person who started the petition: https://order-order.com/2019/0...

I wonder... Did this person report their AirBnB income on their tax return...

Society could just have "main" office hours being 8-4 rather than 9-5. Lots of places don't even do 9-5 anyway.
