Why the edit, BM?

Perhaps because he made it a "Sticky"? To do that means he/we would need to go into your post and "edit". whistle:

He wouldn't go even if everyone else in the country signed up.  cussing:

anyway:

Guido never links to Downing Street online petitions because they never achieve anything.

Selective quotation uncle  noooo:

It continues:

Quote
However dozens of people have emailed about this petition.  Guido has spoken to Civil Service types who confirm that under the rules of the petition service this petition is valid and permissable since it is non-partisan.  It has already attracted hundreds of petitioners in support.

Something tells Guido this could be big, really big.

There were 2 highlights in yesterday's PMQ's. The first one was another mention about this petition, this time mentioning that more people signed the petition that actually voted for Gordo.

The other one was a humourous jab about bullying in Whitehall in response to the news about his throwing printers and phones around in a massive temper tantrum. Strangely enough Gordo didn't see the funny side.  lol:

I had an email back in reply to signing up to the petition:

Quote
The Prime Minister is completely focused on restoring the economy, getting people back to work and improving standards in public services. As the Prime Minister has consistently said, he is determined to build a stronger, fairer, better Britain for all.

He may be completely focussed on these issues but judging from his results so far I'd say that having a glass eye is obviously playing havok with his depth perception.  whistle:

BM - because you are talking to the 'gummint' and they dont do 'reply' =they do imposition. You & I signed the last petition and got the same reply. A serious overhaul of the political methodology is called for (IMHO) but how the hell do we get it!! It boils my piss Explode:
