Petition the PM
Whilst we’re on the subject of pestering politicians, I’m pleased to see that the government seems to be trying to make it easier for us to try to knock them back in line, online, by “signing” petitions at:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/.
I’m less overwhelmed with glee that the most popular petition so far is for repealing the ban on fox-hunting, as if our elected representatives haven’t wasted enough time and effort on the dratted thing already.
The second most popular is a petition against the proposed introduction of ID cards. Everyone who isn’t John Reid should sign it. ID card legislation is an even more stupid waste of time and money than both fox-hunting and the ban thereof combined, and it’s considerably more dangerous to boot.
