Excellent news. Was keeping an eye on the signature numbers but hadn't noticed it get up close to the target

Well done MSE :T:T:T

My moment of fame was going to be by being person 100k to sign - then my DS (30 months) started vomiting and I missed it by 7 people

Well done Martin for publicising this and all of us for signing.

It is definitely needed but I can not understand why - I work extremely hard for each £ in my pocket and so could not imagine not being careful when spending it. For others spending 2 hours earning a tenner is fine but spending 5 mins shopping round to save a tenner is more than they can be bothered to do...does not compute?!

Many Congratulations to Martin and the team and everyone in the country who voted for this no-brainer.

This is so badly needed and will change the lives of so many people in the future.

Well Done. Well Done. Well Done!!!

acheiving 100,000 signatures does NOT gaurantee a debate in parliament,i`m surprised that mse towers/martin believes that it will,the latest that did was the europe referendum debate last week when all three parties threw in 3 line whip and effectively made even the debate useless
