Old fashioned petitions were far better, someone at No 10 had carry the paper out to the bin before they could be ignored, with online it only needs a click of the delete button.

Wonder how many generations before they fit delete buttons to people who are considered to be no further use?

The very next generation after they start 'chipping' us in the womb.:cool:

What should we do instead then?

Organise a protest march. Or a go-slow on the motorway. Or see your MP. Or start a campaign.

These are things that will make a much bigger difference than some crappy No.10 petition. Bear in mind this government ignored millions of people marching to avoid the war in Iraq.

Petition now closed, 166,000 signatures, that is really going to make a difference.. ( not ) :rotfl::rotfl:

I wonder if they have deleted it yet?:D

That's 0.2% of the population! They'll HAVE to listen.

Yup, by voting they've let the government know that 99.8% of the population dont care....

I suspect the whole driving population 'cares', it's just a case of not knowing or not having the inclination to vote.

Or like many of us, knowing that it is a complete and utter waste of time and effort.:)

You know what?

All you negative not get off your backsides type attitude really do sum up this country at the moment!

So ready to pick at anything anyone else does or tries to do - but do absolutely nothing, nothing to contribute to anything!

This petition - if it had had the attention of the media would've escalated - same as if the block exemption had caught the attention etc.... etc.....

The media somehow is not taking up the issues that we all seem to care about - why is that? What can we do? Can we do anthing? Is this a free country or a dictatorship?

I know what I am thinking right now.

Jeannie: The issue is, the government controls the media.. so is it any wonder.
