UK: 1 mln of signatures against suspension of parliament

On Wednesday, more than a million people signed a petition against the British government's decision to suspend parliamentary proceedings for five weeks, demanding at the same time prolonging the country's exit from the EU or even completely withdrawing the decision to leave the Community. Such a decision would be beneficial for Polish-born UK residents, whose number is estimated at over 900,000.
The petition, posted on the official pages of parliament, was initiated by pro-European Liberal Democrats activist Mark Johnston.
